Hbadan Ayariga, founder and leader of the Pan-People Congress (PCA), said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government should know that northerners are not idiots. He should stop playing with the spirit of people with his One Village One Dam promise.

Mr Ayariga wonders why the administration led by Nana Addo and previous governments have failed to significantly expand the north of the country and reduce the gap between north and south Ghana.

According to him, the north is lagging due to the unfulfilled promises made to the population by previous and current administrations, all of whom have shown little commitment to rapidly developing the region.

"If I had been elected president, the Bolga-Bawku road would have already been completed. This is because I will use it every time at home. But when our own people refuse to vote for us, what do you expect? When you tell them to vote for you, they will say that even if they vote for him, he will not win, "he lamented.

As a result of the government's One Village One Dam initiative, the APC founder has called promises made of "lies" and misleading aimed at winning only the 2016 election.

"Do not deceive your people in the name of politics. This government only wants to win elections and not improve the lives of the people and that's what I do not like. I come from the north and I find it hard to see people grow by my side even though my father was fine. I've seen people crying daily without surviving because of GH ¢ 5. When it's time to vote, the Northern brothers and sisters are lining up in the sun just to vote for people to come and develop them, but they do? [politicians] make. They are abusing people. So what is the essence of northerners voting again, "he wondered.

He said the promise of One Village One Dam, which should benefit the north of the country, has not been realized.

"They have lied to our brothers and sisters in the North and they are digging shelters to bar them. Destroy their farmland that they could have used for agriculture and profit from it. They distributed them and they play their minds like idiots. The fact that we are not rich does not make us crazy. The fact that the northern sector is not good to do does not make us idiots. People should not take us for granted, "he told the Bolgatanga A1 radio, monitored by MyNewsGh.com.

Recalling his defeat in the 2012 general election, Hbadan Ayariga, who ran as a presidential candidate on the list of votes for the National People's Convention, deplored the refusal of his kings and voters to vote for he, calling the situation unhappy and dominating the voters of the north. strive to vote for one of theirs.
