Association in support of Mills 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 Benyiwa-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 Industry 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.
