THE New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary aspirant for the Yilo Krobo Constituency in the Eastern Region, Sub Lt Christian Kofi Tettey, has assured Krobos that the NPP has no intention of taking over land from Krobos who have settled in the Akan-speaking areas.
He has, therefore, asked for their support to enable him win the constituency seat, which has never been won by the party.
Sub Lt Tettey, who is also the immediate past District Chief Executive for the Yilo Krobo District, gave the assurance when he launched his campaign for the constituency seat at a grand durbar at Somanya.
The event, the largest NPP gathering in the area in recent times, was attended by some regional executive members of the party, including the party’s Eastern Regional Vice Chairman, Alhaji Omar Bodinga, the NPP parliamentary aspirant for New Juaben South, Madam Beatrice Bernice Boateng, and Messrs David Sackitey Asare, Joe Sam and Joseph Adu Tawia, District Chief Executives respectively for Lower Manya Krobo, Upper Manya Krobo and Yilo Krobo respectively, some of whom took turns to solicit support for the party.
According to Sub Lt Tettey, the main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), had for a long time been telling Krobos that the NPP Administration would take over their lands in the Akan-speaking areas as a result of which they had not been supporting the party.
He, therefore, gave the assurance that the NPP government would not under any circumstance take over their lands from them, so they should rather support the party to continue with its good works of providing social amenities as well as initiating poverty alleviation measures to improve the lot of the people in the constituency.
Sub Lt Tettey said the NPP Administration, having the interest of Krobos at heart, had provided a number of social amenities such as roads, markets and school buildings in almost all the communities in the Yilo Constituency, as well as initiated poverty alleviation measures to improve the lot of the people.
