'Kayayei’ Donate Ghc 5,000 At NPP’s Fund Raising

Speaking in the Akan dialect, she said “We don’t want Nana Addo to go for any money to end up in the Woyomi Saga”. The head porters, several of them homeless, recently had their makeshift structures razed by fire. According to Kumasi-based Ultimate FM, Hajia Adiza Zongo Pioneer alleged on radio that the fire was sparked by some elements in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to punish the head porters when they announced their intentions to support the NPP’s fund raising event. Head porters, mostly found in Ghana’s busy cities,  largely struggle to make a living for themselves. Majority of them are homeless as their dreams of travelling down south to make ends meat are often not realized. The head porters have in recent times criticized President Mahama’s performance, saying his administration has made life extremely difficult for them. They are particularly displeased because in their view, President Mahama, who is a northerner, should care more about their plight and make life better for them. As part of the exercise, MPs in the NPP’s stronghold region alone donated Ghc 50,000 among several other donations. The stadium was filled with members of the party clad in party colours. In attendance was the Flagbearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, his Running Mate Dr. Bawumia, and other bigwigs of the party. Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, said there was the need to raise funds to support Nana Addo’s campaign, as has been done for previous candidates who led the party.
