He sent the following message as part of the major announcement:
I have officially picked up nomination forms to contest the upcoming NDC Parliamentary Primaries in Keta slated for May 13.
In coming to the decision to enter the parliamentary race. I have taken cognisance of the current state of underdevelopment, alarming poverty levels, youth unemployment, falling educational standards and general decadence of Keta Constituency to which there is the urgent need for a paradigm shift.
Extensive consultations with key stakeholders of Keta constituency both home and abroad as well as with some NDC branch executives provided a very clear path that our area must be strategic with leadership.
Keta Constituency is the spiritual home of the National Democratic Congress where its Founder, the late Jerry John Rawlings hails from. It is also a significant part of the “World Bank” description of the Volta Region where traditional bulk of votes aggregates originate for the NDC.
It belies the fact that serious, strategic and transformational leadership must always come from Keta Constituency to lift it and the entire Anlo State onto a path of success and development. The vast abundance of natural resources such as a 300 km squared lagoon, hydrocarbons, sea and marine life, arable lands coupled with rich colonial and traditional cultural heritage has greatly inspired the prospects of Keta Constituency. I am offering myself as a servant leader focused on impacting humanity.
As a dedicated member of the NDC, I am duty bound to contribute my quota to the upliftment of the lives of my people and to bring true development to the good people of Keta.To all loved ones, sympathizers and supporters of Efo Kojo, we appeal to all of you to remain focused on the agenda to effect change in Keta.
Dr. Jones-Mensah’s trinity agenda of UNITY, DEVELOPMENT & WELFARE for Keta Constituency cannot be dislodged because our team is the victorious one perfected by the handiwork of Almighty God.
The victory of the NDC is coming again! Eye Zu Eye Za #GodGiveth
