The Obuasi East Constituency in the Ashanti region, over the weekend went agog as the National Democratic Congress (NDC),embarked on a a massive health walk through some principal streets of the constituency.
The hugely patronized walk, was aimed to foster unity among the rank and file of the party.
It was,also and to drive home the message of the NDC’ s key policies in particular ,the much touted ” 24- Hour Economy” ahead of the December 7 general election.
Mr. Samuel Aboagye
.In his address after, over 5 hours walk which ended at the AGC’ s Club House,the 2024 NDC Parliamentary Candidate for the constituency, Mr. Samuel Aboagye, noted that ,the 24-Hour economy agenda propagated by the flag bearer of the party is very crucial to reduce the menace of youth unemployed.
According to him ,it would only take a critical thinking- minded people to understand and accept the 24 -hour economy policy.He explained to the enthusiastic crowds that, the much talked about 24- hour economy being expatiated by the flagbearer of the party,Mr. John Dramani Mahama, would have spiral effects to address the escalating graduate unemployment in the country.
” It would take only creative and great minded-persons to conceptualize the 24- hour economy and it spiral outcomes on the efforts to providing employment opportunities for the youth”
He said those,who had difficulties to understand the NDC’s policy of the 24- hour economy are theoretical economists but not practical minded when economics facts are displayed.Mr. Aboagye, urged the supporters of the party to intensify their campaign across the nook and crony of the constituency to explain the party’ s policies to the electorate, especially the first-time voters so as to enable the NDC can garner the maximum votes to guarantee its resounding victory come December 7.
“I’ m assuring you that all indications are clear that the NDC is winning the December polls,however we need to work extra harder to win with huge percentage with the majority of the parliamentary seats”, he pleaded.
He emphasized that,” I can tell you that, the NDC is winning this election,but we cannot do so when you sit at home during the election day. You must all go out to campaign and sell the good policies of the NDC, and also go out in your numbers on the election day to vote for Mr.John Mahama and all NDC parliamentary candidates, especially me(Samuel Aboagye) as your Member of parliament!MP) for Obuasi East” he appealed . Mr. Aboagye, believed that he is the right person to lead the constituency as their Member of Parliament to bring about the expected development the constituents,had been looking for over the years.
It would be recalled that,Mr.Aboagye,lost to Dr. Boakye Yiadom of the NPP in the 2020 general election,but was hopeful to snatch the seat from the incumbent NPP MP come 7th December polls.
