FULL TEXT : Nana Addo's Speech After Being Declared Winner Of Primary Updated: 18 -Oct- 2014

STATEMENT BY NANA AKUFO -ADDO AFTER DECLARATION OF VICTORY IN NPP PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ON 18 TH OCTOBER,
2014 AT THE EFUA SUTHERLAND CHILDREN ’ S PARK , ACCRA .

This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it .
I thank the Lord Almighty for his continuing.blessings on our beloved Ghana, the NPP and
myself . I thank, from the bottom of my heart, the thousands and thousands of NPP members –
polling station executives , electoral area co-ordinators, constituency executives , regional
executives , National Council and National Executive Committee members, National Council of Elders , Members of Parliament, past national officers , founding members and ordinary members and youth of the party – for this overwhelming show of support .
I am profoundly grateful and truly humbled by the massive confidence you have reposed in
me . You have put an enormous responsibility on my modest shoulders, but I want to assure
you that I shall do everything humanly possible , under the guidance of Almighty God , to justify your confidence. I congratulate my opponents, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen and Hon. Francis Addai-Nimoh , for their competition , and appreciate the gracious call that Alan Kyerematen made to me earlier this evening about my victory. I congratulate
also those who did not make the shortlist of five and those who did , but dropped out of the race to support me, my good friends, Hon . Joe Ghartey and Hon. Kofi Osei -Ameyaw . We will all co- operate and work together to advance
the cause of the NPP and Mother Ghana. That.is what the people of Ghana and the membership of the NPP expect of us. I am grateful to those in the party, from the
national to the polling station level , who were responsible for the organisation of this successful election , and to the members of the Electoral Commission , who supervised it . My thanks also to the Police Force for their
service. I thank warmly all those who supported my candidature and participated in my campaign .
This historic result could not have been achieved without your hard work and enthusiasm .
I acknowledge with thanks the extensive coverage given to the conduct of the campaign
by the media . My final thanks goes to my beautiful lady, my
wife Rebecca , my children and family for their constant support and encouragement . Without
them , I cannot go forth . Tonight’ s declaration brings to an end the
process of internal reorganisation of our party. We have now to gird up our loins , put ourselves together and get ready to face the
big battle of 2016 . We , in the NPP, have a sacred , two-fold duty . We must rid our country , through the peace of the ballot box, of this incompetent NDC government of John Dramani Mahama , and relieve the Ghanaian people of the unjustifiable hardships and
difficulties they are encountering.
We are then to form a government for Ghana where we will reverse the decline of our nation , do the work of the Ghanaian people
with integrity and bring about their rapid progress and prosperity . We have the men and women who can do it . We can fulfil , in our
generation, the dreams and ambitions of our founding fathers to build a free, prosperous ,
modern African nation, governed on the principles of democratic accountability, the rule of law and social justice . Let us be up and
doing. God bless Ghana . God bless the NPP. God bless Mother Africa.
Thank you.
