Dr. Eleblu promises to make North Tongu Ghana’s agricultural hub as he launches bid to unseat Ablakwa as MP

A Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr John Saviour Yaw Eleblu has promised to make the North Tongu Constituency Ghana’s agricultural hub if voted into power.

Speaking after filing his nominations to contest for the NPP’s parliamentary candidate slot in the constituency, Dr. Eleblu assured that he would use transformational leadership approach laced with transparency, integrity, and honesty.

 “I will change our constituency into an agricultural hub to feed North Tongu and the entire country and also for export,” he said.

Dr Eleblu said he will establish business development centers in all the electoral areas and residents will be supported to create businesses and grow them for wealth creation.  

He promised to facilitate the establishment of three Technical, Vocational, Engineering, and Technology (TVET) centers in the constituency to train the youths to become entrepreneurs. 

He also assured he will assist qualified youths in the party to gain admission into tertiary institutions of their choice, as well as get employment opportunities in the security services and other government agencies.

Dr. Eleblu said he is the right man to unseat Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa who has been MP for 11 years now saying “I have what it takes to be a parliamentary candidate to challenge the opposition NDC’s candidate to win the seat.

I am very ready to change the narrative of NPP in North Tongu and bring hope to the party folks in the constituency.

”Dr. Eleblu assured that although the NPP has been performing badly in North Tongu, he has the right strategies in place to canvas for votes and topple the NDC.

“Our target is to get 30,000 votes in North Tongu and we have mapped out many complementary strategies to achieve this. The first is our membership drive to register a minimum of 10,000 members,” he disclosed.

Dr. Eleblu told supporters the constituency deserves an MP who is committed to improving the lives of the people and not one who is chasing national clout. 

“North Tongu deserves a real MP. Somebody who will represent the people and lobby for jobs and development projects. And not somebody who is becoming like a vigilante who is going round chasing people for budget overruns,” he said.

“In fact, NDC has not done anything to lift the people of North Tongu and Volta Region out of poverty. It is only the NPP that cares and we must begin to reward the party with votes,” he added.

He said the NPP has contributed hugely to the development of the constituency including investing in the US$34 million Togorme Irrigation project which is expected to serve as a foundational infrastructure for the development of agricultural and agribusiness projects for the needed economic transformation. 

He said the NPP has ensured the construction of new roads in the area, 2 new courts for the judiciary to facilitate the quick delivery of justice, the building of a new market complex in Juapong, and many more.
