PPP running mate meets Zongo Chiefs

Ms Eva Lokko, running mate of the Progressive People's Party (PPP), on Monday called on Chiefs in the Zongo Communities in the Ablekuma Central Constituency to endorse the party to ensure victory in the December polls. A PPP statement to the Ghana News Agency in Accra explained that Ms Lokko made the appeal during a call on two Zongo Chiefs at Sarbon Zongo, a suburb of Accra, after her selection as running mate to partner Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom for Election 2012. It said the visit was to officially introduce the party to the Chiefs of the area and to appeal for their support for victory in the 2012 elections. Ms Lokko said the Ablekuma Central Constituency happened to be her first point of call after she was officially introduced on Wednesday, September 12th at a colourful durbar at Osu in Accra. The former Ghana Broadcasting Corporation Director General recollected her childhood days at the Zongo community where she used to visit her Aunty on weekends and assured the chiefs of her commitment to pick up the pace of progress in the Zongo Communities if given the mandate. She challenged the chiefs to give PPP the opportunity to implement the Four-pillars and Ten-point agenda of transformation by voting massively for Dr Nduom and the Parliamentary aspirant for Ablekuma Central, Ishmael Kabore. "A government under the PPP, would ensure abundance of jobs for the unemployed youth, and improve the sanitation, education and healthcare conditions in the country by offering a competent and incorruptible leadership", she said.
