Host chairman of the ruling National Democratic [NDC] manifesto launch, Mr. Opoku Atuahene says presidential candidates must either marry a native from the Brong Ahafo region or perhaps forget about the presidency.
Assuring President John Dramani Mahama of a ‘one touch’ victory in the upcoming presidential polls, the NDC Brong Ahafo Regional Chairman said a wife from the region will boost the chances of an aspirant who harbours presidential ambition.
“Anyone who wants to be president in Ghana must marry from Brong Ahafo” he said at the launch of the party’s manifesto at the Sunyani Coronation Park.
Mr. Opoku Atuahene also pledged to increase the party’s parliamentary seats from 16 to 30.
Clad in their red, white, green and black party colours, thousands of supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are awainting patiently for the main event; the manifesto launch.
The venue, according to the National Chairman of the NDC, Kofi Portuphy, was strategically selected to help the party win more votes in the swing region.
Youth Will Be Safe Under Mahama
On his part, the National Youth Organizer of the ruling NDC, Sidi Abubakar challenged the opposition leader of the NPP, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo to outlined successes chalked by his party during Ex-President Kufuor’s era.
He charged the electorates [mostly the youth] to reject the NPP and its leader in the December 7, election.
According to him – the youth has seen some tremendous transformation in Mahama-led administration and must be maintained.
"The youth will be safe under president Mahama, unlike Nana Addo" he said.

This man can't be serious. Look, he's taken us for fuuuuuuuls. He doesn't give a toss abt us. It's all a joke for him. Corruption is hailed everywhere. They've bought anything anyone that can be bought cos of the money they've pilfer. Bagbin who use to Spk against mahani and his cronies has suddenly changed his tune cos money has changed hands. Now they're hanging on for dear life and are desperate to fight tooth and nail to hang on to power.
THIS IS COMPLETE JOKE AND WASTE OF TIME.CHANGING LIVES INDEED IS TO MARRY B/A WOMAN.APUUUUUUU.
A real s*tu*pi*dity of the NDC. This Guy must bow down his head in shame.This is a type of statements that lowers the esteem of people among Ghanaians. When we say the IQ of Brong men are low, will he accept or fight back? I am not Tribalist but some statements from some people really lower their Tribe to the inferior class.They should therefor not blame others if at the end they are seen as such. In 2016 if a Senior member of a ruling Party can come out with such a message then God save our Country.
Would be shocked with any one with his or her money locked up with any of the micro finances should vote for these things. Everything has come to a stand still because of these fooooooo0ls
Eiiiiiiiii Amissah Arthur, is this man a true economist? Just watched his speech and I have no words. I am shocked.
Marry A Woman From B/A so that you can impregnate many women and have more than 18 children who will depend on the state for survival. Marry A Woman From B/A so that you can steal from the state to take care of the more than 18 children including the yet to be born Ohemaa's baby. Marry A Woman From B/A so that when a morally corrupt president cheats on his legal wife, she will just keep silent.
Non***barred word***. Will this put food on the table for the ordinary people. ***barred word***-i-t-y
How can a whole regional chairman talk like this? This shows the NDC has nothing to offer Ghanaians but only hardship. Ghanaians reason up and vote for change
