Association In Support Of Mills’ Candidature Formed In Cape Coast

A new association of people, who believe in the governance and policies of President John Evans Atta Mills, has been out-doored at Cape Coast with a funfair.

The Association known as GAME an acronym for “Get Atta Mills
Endorsed” aims to mobilise votes for President Mills to support his
flagbearership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as well as to
ensure that he retains power come 2012 in the presidential race.

Inaugurating the Association, Mrs Ama Benyiwaa-Doe, Central
Regional Minister, said the NDC would have no moral justification to
approach Ghanaians in 2012 to vote for another person canvassing on
the party’s ticket for votes to become the President of the nation if
President Mills was dropped.

The Minister reminded the party members that a failure of
President Mills was a failure of the NDC and therefore they could not
cut their noses to spite their faces and expected Ghanaians to see
them as a fortified NDC.

She said gradually the nation was developing a convention, which
would allow a President to serve a two-term in office and urged NDC to
allow the convention to work.

Ms Hannah Tetteh, Minister of Trade and Industries and a leading
member of the Association, expressed regret that the NDC did not have
patience with President Mills, but started criticizing his
Administration just one month after taking office.

Some members of the party, she said, wanted President Mills to
conjure miracles to solve the problems facing the country in one
month.

Ms Tetteh said it beat her imagination why NDC wanted to throw
“The golden baby away with the water used to bathe it.”
She said it was impossible for any government to satisfy all its
party members in two years four months and advised NDC members to stop
grumbling and wait patiently for their turn.
