Whipping up ethnic sentiments. It has never helped this country and it will not help us. We should be the very first to recognise it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further indicated that there is the need for the NPP to stress on the Ghana project because Ghana is a diverse country made up of a number of people adding that apart from the diversity in where we come from, there is diversity in religion in the country but that should not be the discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said what should be trumpeted should be the competencies, records, achievements of both leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll this stuff about we have some political agenda, we want to disenfranchise people in the far North and Volta region. I don\u2019t understand where that is coming from. It\u2019s deliberate, it\u2019s artificial. Those who know the political mechanic of Ghana knows that, that is artificial and it\u2019s been done for a very short term political gain. I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s a legitimate way of advancing a political agenda. Certainly, it\u2019s not one that I will want to promote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:\u00a0MyNewsGh.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says moves by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to paint him as an anti-Volta person is artificial and created just for political gain by some political actors.
