Chief Endorses Nana Addo
Nana Kofi Drobo III, the chief of Nwoase-Ahenkro, near Wenchi in the Brong Ahafo Region, has endorsed the free education policy being touted by the flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.Nana Drobo, who is the spiritual head of the famous Kwaku-Fri Shrine, declared his total support for the presidential ambition of the NPP flagbearer when Nana Addo’s campaign team stormed the town as part of his tour of the region.
Nana Drobo told his people that although he was aware of the constitutional provision debarring chiefs from active politics, he had no option but to openly declare his support for Nana Akufo-Addo.
He said the move was necessitated by Nana Addo’s vision to make senior high school education in Ghana free, to enable the majority poor population to also educate their children to the highest level.
The renowned spiritualist and traditional leader therefore asked his people to vote massively for the NPP and reject the National Democratic Congress (NDC) due to its failure to fulfill its numerous campaign promises.
At Buoko, near Wenchi, Nana Ado disclosed that NDC functionaries were going round with the posters of President Mahama telling the people that the president was the one bringing the free SHS.
He wondered why the ND, which had openly kicked against the free SHS policy, would make a u-turn and do that. He therefore advised the electorate not to buy into such propaganda.
The NPP presidential candidate also visited Beposo, Wenchi Township, Subinso and other surrounding communities, preaching his economic transformation and free education policies.
He asked for prayers from the religious bodies so that the elections would be peaceful. He stated that the up-coming elections would be a contest of ideas and that was why he was championing the free secondary education programme.
