“Four More For Nana” Given A Boost As NPP/NDC Friendly Match Yields Four Goals
A friendly football tournament match recently organized at Kyebi between supporters of the NPP and the NDC produced a total of four goals, a score line which has sparked wild jubilation among some NPP supporters. The scores were 3-1 in favour of the NPP .
The NPP diehards who are ecstatic are full of hope that the total number of goals scored which amount to four is a good omen for the NPP.
“The score line is suggestive that, “the Four More For Nana’s slogan is divine orchestrated and that the four goals netted in the tournament foretold the outcome of the December elections.”They argued.
Another party supporter noted that the, “ dominant figure four” in the” Four more for Nana” slogan which has gain a wider currency is indeed a magic number and started to proclaim victory for his darling party.
The NPP supporters further argued the tally is suggestive that the Four More For Nana’s slogan has already killed the game for Nana Addo. “They were politically correct goals going in favour of the NPP.”
The group of hearty NPP pessimists who bared their thoughts were not at Kyebi to watch the NPP/NDC friendly encounter live but were seated glued to their Television sets watching the Wednesday’s edition of the Election 2020 live political programme on Wontumi TV when the Abuakwa South Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) made a reference to the memorable match which had long taken place.
The MCE Hon Kwadwo Ofori-Sarfo, who made the disclosure as a guest on Wontumi TV’s political programme Election 2020 hosted by Oheneba Nana Asiedu looked beyond the score line which was in favour of his party though, to derive his satisfaction.
“ I am happy about the prevailing peace in the Kyebi area which became manifest when the tournament was ongoing between the two known political opponents.” He said.
He continued, “ It was an incident-free encounter which was a clear indication that there is absolute peace in Abuakwa South, a situation, ideal for the December election and also for sustainable development. We live in total peace with our main opponents without any acrimony or ill feeling . That is what politics should be about. Politics is all about ideas.”He noted.
He said the Municipality bears no grudge against the NDC as a party and any of its members and that the recent verbal attack on the reputation of the youth of Akyem by some persons within the NDC who used derogatory terms such as “Sakawa” to describe some Akyem citizens have been nibbed in the bud.
“We have put everything behind us after all our dominance is beyond doubt. Our membership far exceeds theirs so what is essential is for us to look forward to and to focus more on is how we can increase our votes margin by exceeding the figures we chalked in the last elections.”
The MCE also disclosed that the basic school children who have been at home because oftheCOVID-19 are being kept busy by a special radio education programme which has been introduced so they will not be indolent while staying at home.
“We have an arrangement with Deep Reach Community Radio by which teachers organize classes using the studio as the classroom to teach school children. He explained.
He continued that, “The teachers operate from the studios and reach out to the children with their lessons. It has been working wonderfully and the school children like it.”
According to Hon Ofori-Sarfo the number of school children staying at home has recently been reduced because some of them have returned to school, but this has not affected the Deep Reach Community teaching programme. “It’s still being run efficiently.”
The MCE noted that even though a lot has been done in the area of providing infrastructure for schools in the Abuakwa South area, there is still the need for expansion.
“We need more infrastructure to be able to accommodate as many students as possible.” He said.
Meanwhile, a dormitory and a 12-unit classroom blocks have been built for the Abuakwa State Senior High School (ABUSCO) and also at the Kyebi Technical School (KITECH) which has also been provided with a 6-unit classroom block.
All basic schools in major towns in the Municipality including , Asiakwa, Apedwa, Maase, Asafo and Odumase have benefitted from the government’s schools infrastructures development programme either in the form of expanding existing structures or providing new ones targeted at classroom blocks, teachers quarters, dormitories, and places of convenience.
According to Hon Ofori –Sarfo, a multipurpose auditorium has been built at the College of Education at Kyebi. In addition, a library block in honour of one of Ghana’s founding fathers and the doyen of Ghana’s democracy, Dr J.B. Dankwa, has been constructed.

He said the Bunso –Apedwa corridor is being improved with asphalt overlay.
The MCE provided signs and data to give a clear indication that, there have been an unprecedented execution of economic projects in the Abuakwa South Municipality.
The construction of the Administration block for the Abuakwa Municipal Assembly is a shining example together with the Asafo and Apedwa Council office.
With respect to markets, Hon Ofori-Sarfo said 12 unit lockable stores at Asiakwa have been constructed while the rehabilitation of the Nkronso market is ongoing. The provision of 19 lockable stores at Apedwa is on also captured on the list.

Hon Ofori Sarfo, an active sportsman, displayed visible signs of contentment when he showed a slide of a picturesque Astro turf facility at Kyebi to the admiration of viewers. It formed part of what is likely to be adjudged one of the numerous signature achievements of the NPP’s administration under Nana Akufo Addo, some of which were admiringly flashed on the screens of Wontumi TV.
Hon. Ofori Sarfo received an applause with chants of,” Four Moore For Nana!” from some of the station’s audience after his presentation.
