The Abossey Okai New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters union known as ‘D’Elephant’ was officially inaugurated in Accra at the weekend.
The union which was formed in March this year, with only 16 people now has a membership of about 200.
The objective of the union is to help disseminate the ruling party’s policies to the people especially those at the grassroots and also get more sympathisers for the NPP.
Prior to the inauguration, members of the union went on a float through some principal streets of the Ablekumah Central Constituency before converging at the Abossey Okai Methodist Church, the venue for the inauguration.
Addressing them, Victor Okulley Nortey, Member for Parliament for the Ablekuma Central constituency, where the union is located said the NPP government has brought tremendous improvement in the provision of infrastructure especially in road construction.
He said “the government has been able to stabilise the economy and we are on the right track to achieve economic prosperity”.
Turning to his constituency, the MP said “we are steadily developing this area and I commend my constituents for the collaboration so far”.
He said the construction of drains lying between Mataheko and Russia, which stretches to the Odaw drains, are expected to commence in December while major roads in Abossey Okai will receive a facelift.
He said activities of the party’s numerous presidential aspirants are rejuvenating the party at the grassroots.
Mr. Okulley Nortey urged party members to close their ranks and forge ahead in unity to ensure that NPP retains power in 2008.
