Mr Addah said the desire of the party is to recapture power come 2012, hence, the need to revive and unite the party for victory ,hence the need to revive and unite the party for victory through activities including clean up exercise since sanitation remains a major challenge affecting almost every community in Ghana.

Mr. Addah described the theme for the clean up exercise “Uniting the rank and file of the party like the proverbial broom for victory 2012” as vital since the party is poised to wrestle power from the incumbent come 2012. The desire objective, he noted could yield fruitful results only if party members continue to unite and live in peace as one people with a common goal. He noted that the current political struggle within the NDC is an ample indication that the party is bound to suffer defeat in the next general elections. He further intimated that, the current administration lacks ideas to pursue the policies and programmes of the previous government, stressing that, most of the policies implemented by the erstwhile administration are heading for destruction due to lack of managerial processes. Hon Addah, therefore challenge government to put in place pragmatic measures to sustain the programmes and policies of the previous government since it is benefitting all Ghanaians irrespective of political affiliation. He also called on the government to fully seek to the implementation of the Savanna Accelerated Development Authority (SADA), which came to replace the Northern Development Authority under former President Kufuors regime to help alleviate poverty and hunger in northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions.
