COMPLETE PROFILE OF DZIFA AKU ATTIVOR

*BRIEF PROFILE OF HON. DZIFA AKU ATIVOR*
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Hon. DZIFA ATIVOR hails from Abutia Teti in the Ho west district of Volta.
She's a committed, dedicated and a hardworking member of NDC who worked assiduously to seeing the party back to power in 2008.

To reward her effort, the late President Atta Mills appointed her as the deputy Transport minister from 2009 to 2012 and later became the substantive Transport Minister from 2013 in the erstwhile Mahama Administration.

She's the national Volta caucus chairperson. A position she used to mobilized Ewe communities across the country to vote for the NDC which saw our dear party back to power in 2008 and the succeeding elections in 2012 and 2016 when we lost power to the NPP.

DZIFA AKU Ativor is a business woman who employed and still employing a host of our party faithfuls in her organizations.  Among some of her businesses are Global Fm 105.1 and Volta 1 TV (the first ever TV station in the region).

She believes in empowering the youth and she does this through lobbying positions, scholarships among others to our youth. She's one of the unsung heroes of our dear party NDC and the nation at large.
While at the ministry of transport,  she did her best to allocate numerous infrastructure projects to our dear Volta region. Among these projects are the Kpando Torkor ferry,  the Krachi Ferry, the Ho airport, Sokode to Ho (Accra main road) dual carriage road which was later stopped by the wicked NPP goverment including a lot of proposals she brought before the previous government for approval before our exit from government.

Her ambition is to see our gallant youth prosper and win daily bread for themselves.  She's good at lobbying and she has a lot of links and influence both locally and internationally.
She is amicable, humble, committed, affable, focused, loyal (to our dear party and her entourage) and has an appealing conscience.

 Dzifa Attivor is a team player. She believes in togetherness and unity.

She becoming victorious is power to the ordinary voltarian.

DZIFA ATTIVOR SHALL WIN WITH 90% VOTES

**DZIFA ATIVOR SHALL WIN VOLTA CHAIRMANSHIP RACE WITH 90% VOTES*

The overseer of the party in the entire region is the Chairman/Chairperson.I write this to assure the entire voltarians of new hope for the region if Hon.Dzifa Ativor is made the regional Chairperson of the Opposition NDC

A clear analysis across the region indicates clearly with all optimism that,the only person who can assume the office of the chairmanship is Dzifa Attivor.
This woman is hardworking,Selfless,Respectful to grassroots and determined to make volta NDC great.

The current chairman of the Opposition party has done his best going into the 2016 election but his best was too little to record an overwhelming votes for NDC within the volta

Hon.Dzifa Attivor over the years has contributed significantly and tremendously to the betterment of the party across all constituencies
This is a clear indications of someone who wish better for her party
The NPP appointed 5 ministers only under the transport ministry which was managed and supritendended singly handedly by Hon. Dzifa Aku Attivor .This shows clearly how prudent and efficient this woman is


*#Volta deserves a chairperson who shall allow fair and open discussion of matters.*

*#Volta deserves a chairperson who shall keep abreast generally of the activities of the party and its management.*

*#Volta deserves a chairperson who shall acts as a liason between management and the national executives*

*#Volta deserves an independent chairperson who shall ensure that,her executives are properly informed about developments within the party so to make appropriate judgement*



*#Volta deserves a chairperson who shall ensure an equitable distributions of resources coming to the region to every constituencies respectively*

*#Volta deserves a chairperson who shall ensure all inclusiveness of regional executives into committees formed to achieve set objectives of the party*

Volta can only be great again if competent and effective leadership is made to take charge of positions.

Dzifa Attivor is here to make Volta great Again

Selfless leadership is what we should seek and victory shall be ours
