NDC Will Open Ho Airport If Voted Into Power – Ofosu-Ampofo
The National Chairman of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, has said the party’s next government, should it win the 7 December polls, will open the Ho airport to human traffic.
According to him, the NDC has promised and delivered development projects across the country, including the Ho airport, which was completed in 2016.
“When the NDC promises, we deliver.
“We promised that we will build a port in Tema, we delivered.
“We promised that we will build a new airport terminal three, President Mahama delivered.
“We promised that we will expand the Kumasi airport, we delivered.
“We promised that we’ll build an airport in Ho under the then-leadership of Madam Dzifa Ativor [former Roads and Transport Minister], we’ve put up a new airport in Ho,” he said.
The $25-million Ho airport has not officially been opened since its completion some four years ago.
According to the people of the region, especially residents in and around Ho, the inability to open the facility for use is affecting socio-economic activities and development in the area.
Mr Ofosu-Ampofo, who was speaking at a community engagement in Keta during the running mate, Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang’s tour of the Volta Region, assured the people that should Ghanaians re-elect Mr Mahama into office, the facility will be opened for use.
“We want to assure the good people of the Volta region that when we come to power, we’re going to commission that airport and put planes there to serve the people of the Volta region,” he noted.
He, therefore, urged the people to vote for the NDC because “the NPP government and Nana Akufo-Addo have wasted the four years without doing anything. When it’s about two months to elections, they’re carrying shovels and axes and they’re doing sod-cutting”.
The Chairman emphasised the need to vote for NDC, saying “the voting that is going to take place on 7 December 2020 is going to be a vote of destiny, we’re going to declare the destiny of this country”.

NDC’s hope of Mahama’s win shows their blind loyalty syndrome – Presidential staffer
A Presidential Staffer Charles Nii Teiko Tagoe says the National Democratic Congress is suffering from blind loyalty syndrome hence their strong conviction that John Dramani Mahama will have an impact in the 2020 elections.
According to him, the NDC is waiting for their biggest political defeat and embarrassment come December 7.
To him, their strong conviction comes as a shock because the signs are glaring that John Dramani Mahama is a spent case and will not make any impact in the impending elections.
Expressing his opinion on social media, the Presidential staffer said “You wonder where they get their motivation to still believe John Mahama is still in this contest from. Anyway, blind loyalty syndrome is a way of life and a strategic posterity that helps to avoid pending future shocks. His biggest political defeat and embarrassment awaits him come December 7, 2020.”
He described John Dramani Mahama as a desperate leader who is saying just anything to gain power but even with that, he will be embarrassed by the masses.

No govt under the 4th republic can boast of youth development like Akufo-Addo – CEO of NYA
The Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority, Sylvester Tetteh has heaped praises on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his immense contribution to youth development under his administration.
According to Mr. Tetteh, the government has invested massively in the provision of employment in the country; adding that Akufo-Addo’s achievement cannot be compared to any government under the fourth republic.
“The youth have received huge boost from the president and the sector minister. I always pray and thank God for their lives, I can fairly say that under the 4th Republic, there hasn’t been significant development in young people than under Nana Addo Dankwa… the youth are going to enjoy with four more years for the president.”
He said this in an interview on Peace FM’s morning show ‘Kokrokoo’ with Kwame Sefa Kayi, monitored by GhanaWeb.
The CEO of the NYA emphasized that the opportunities created haven’t been gender-biased as both women and men are beneficiaries of the government’s policies. He noted that various regions can boast of youth infrastructure facilities
Sylvester Tetteh has, therefore, called on the youth to rally behind the New Patriotic Party in the upcoming general elections.
“If you look at the NYA under Nana Akufo-Addo in terms of infrastructure, various policies and opportunities created for the youth is exceptional. I commend other CEOs of youth-led institutions like the National Service, Youth Employment Agency among others,” he said.

2020 polls: Say no to ‘dumsor wura’ Mahama – Bawumia
Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has urged Ghanaians to say no to former President John Mahama’s comeback attempt since, according to him, their lives will be full of difficulties and ‘dumsor’ should he succeed in his bid for a second term at the presidency.
Speaking at a durbar of chiefs and people of Kasoa in the Awutu Senya East Constituency of the Central Region on Thursday, 29 October 2020, Dr Bawumia said Ghanaians have found a good and responsible husband in President Nana Akufo-Addo and are not prepared to go back to their ex, Mr. John Mahama.
He said under the Akufo-Addo government, Ghanaian students are enjoying free senior high school while the larger citizenry is benefitting from free electricity, free water, improved access to healthcare under the National Health Insurance Scheme and bumper harvests from the government’s Planting for Food & Jobs program.
According to him, the Akufo-Addo government ended dumsor the moment it took the reins of power, and, thus, rescued Ghanaians from the NDC-inflicted dark days of erratic power supply.
Dr. Bawumia, therefore, wondered why Ghanaians would want to ditch a good and responsible husband in the person of President Akufo-Addo for an ex who only gave them pain and misery.

Defeat staring NDC in the face because NPP has delivered – Prof Dodoo
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Standard Authority (GSA), Professor Alex Dodoo, has noted that the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has delivered on its mandate over the past three-and-a-half years in office.
He said the party should be voted for in the December 7 elections in order to consolidate the gains made.
Prof Dodoo noted that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s policies and programmes including the Free Senior High School, affect the lives of the ordinary Ghanaians in all parts of the country.
He said these while sharing his views on the violence that occurred between supporters of the NPP and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) within the Odododiodio Constituency last Sunday.
Prof Dodoo, an indigene of Odododiodio, said the NDC is now resorting to violence because they are fully aware of the defeat that is coming their way in the polls.
“It is very obvious that defeat is staring at the NDC and so they are resorting to violence,” he said.
“The work has been done by the NPP, considering the kind of programmes and interventions initiated by the government.
“We have the Free SHS and the other numerous interventions in place and so the work has been done,” he said on Accra-based Net 2 TV on Wednesday, 28th October.

Ododiodio clash: NPP, NDC peace walk was needless – NCCE
Principal Civic Education officer at the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Madam Rebecca Colecraft has chastised sympathizers of National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party for engaging in a peace walk in the Odododiodio constituency.
According to her, there was no need for the two groups to hold a peace walk as the NCCE has already educated the public on the subject ahead of the 2020 December polls.
Speaking on ‘Behind the Headlines’ programme on Radio Univers 105.7FM, Madam Rebecca Colecraft said that if indeed attitudes have changed as a result of peace campaigns undertaken by the Commission, then the two groups had no business hitting the street in the name of a peace walk.
“I understand that it was a peace march. If so, in the first place, where the NCCE has educated our citizenry to, if attitudes have changed, we don’t need a peace walk because, already we understand that; “it is my responsibility, it is your responsibility to live with each other in harmony,” she said.
Madam Rebecca Colecraft is hopeful that violent situations, such as what happened in the Odododiodio constituency, does not happen again.
She disclosed that the NCCE has constituted Inter-Party Dialogue Committees (IPDCs) in the various districts and constituencies.“We have established IPDCs in all districts and constituencies. The IPDC is simply the Inter-Party Committee and it is made up of all political parties within that constituency, the security, religious bodies, media, the traditional authority, opinion leaders”, she stated.
She also spoke on the function and aim of the IGPCs.
“The main objective of the IPGCs is to name and shame, and also, to bring any of the divides whosoever would use intemperate language, language of insult, would not focus on issues to bring them to book,” she affirmed.

The raining started around 2:30 pm and end before 5:00pm but within this short period of raining has caused serious flooding along the major highways and some branch roads in the city of Accra making both commercial and private vehicles slowing down on roads.
Its very sad and funny to see this flooding areas in this election period where politicians are promising heaven to gain majority votes.

African dancehall King, Shatta Wale, has been undergoing a thorough re-branding to obviously ‘please’ Ghanaians who have complained over the years about his ‘dirty’ brand.
In recent times, we have seen a change in how he addresses issues, he no more comes online to insult people anyhow like he used to do in his live videos.Shatta used to hold cigarette buds in most of his social media snaps but for sometime now, that has also changed in this regard. He no more posts videos of himself smoking.
Let’s talk about his dressing too, the ‘Kakai’ crooner is known for his ‘gangster’ way of dressing but now he appears at events neatly dressed in well ironed ‘trousers and shirts’ — we’ve spotted him in suits as well a couple of times.
Well, it appears one of the new things that we’ll see with the ‘new Shatta Wale’ is a gang of beautiful ladies dominating his crew.
The Shatta Movement CEO is well known for keeping male crew members who are mostly his loyal fans and old friends who were with him during his ‘Bandana’ days.
But we saw something different when he arrived at the premises of Zylofon FM this Wednesday Morning, he was seen with a gang of ladies with him at the front. While a few male members of his crew were at the back.
