THE Member of Parliament for Fomena, Nana Abu Bonsra, has commended the electorate of his constituency for their massive support and commitment to the cause of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), even in the face of defeat.
He pointed out that such commitment would not only encourage the top hierarchy of the party to work hard in opposition, but would also motivate and propel the NPP into victory in 2012, to enable it to continue with its policies and programmes.
" It is such support that will be the driving force to propel all Members of Parliament and other leaders of the NPP to keep on fighting till victory is won in 2012," he assured.
Nana Abu Bonsra made the remarks when he interacted with the electorate in his constituency to thank them for their support, which made it possible for the party to retain the Fomena seat.
“The leadership of the NPP and the MP for Fomena feel very much encouraged by the open demonstration of total commitment, and we appreciate all your support and commitment to the party since we lost power to our opponents after the December 28, 2008 run-off.”
He pointed out that the massive votes for him and the Presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during the 2008 elections, proved that the electorate at Fomena had the NPP at heart and were poised to support the party even in opposition.
" You should not be shaken by the threats, insults, intimidations and violent posture of your opponents, but should rather continue to show your unflinching support and commitment to the ideals and forward movement of the party even in the face of losing power narrowly. This will give us the tonic to continue the battle that would return the party to power in the next general election in 2012," he advised.
Nana Abu Bonsra also advised the electorate to accept the defeat of the NPP in good faith, and also praise God for it because there was another opportunity to change the current government in the next elections due in four years time.
He also urged them to continue offering massive spiritual and moral support as was demonstrated before, during and after the last election to prove to their opponents that the NPP would survive in opposition and assume the reins of government once agian.
"We conceded defeat in the supreme interest of sustainable peace for the nation, and by this gesture, Ghana has been the ultimate winner, so the need for you to continue offering us the requisite encouragement and support will go a long way to usher us into governance sooner than expected," he noted.
