President Akufo-Addo, who is on a four-day tour of the Ashanti region, says he doesn’t mind if residents of Kwabre vote against the ruling New Patriotic Party.
Residents had threatened to vote against the NPP because of the poor condition of their roads.
The President was asked about Kwabre Roads and how bad their roads are during his media engagement this morning at Kumasi-based radio station Otec Fm.
The host informed Akufo Addo of the plight of the people of Kwabre, who gave the NPP the most votes in 2016 and 2020, and how they have stated that Akufo Addo’s failure to repair their road will force them to vote against the party.
However, in his response, the President stated that they are free to vote against the NPP because such threats do not bother him.
“People make threats like that, but it doesn’t bother me. Someone votes for you, someone backs you up, and it’s because they want you to do something for them. That is something I understand. It is unnecessary for people to threaten to vote against the party. Of course, I will repair the roads, but it is your choice whether to vote for the NDC or not. It makes no difference who you vote for. Nobody will prevent you from exercising your voting rights. Nobody will twist your arm and make you vote for someone. I accept responsibility, and we will deal with it.”
