When
the
Fourth
Republic
began,
Krobo
was
there.
When
the
Umbrella
needed
strength,
Krobo
was
there.
Through
victory
and
difficult
times—
Krobo
stood
with
the
NDC.
Your
contribution
must
never
be
forgotten.
[BUILD-UP] Those
who
sacrifice
must
be
recognised.
Our
youth
need
opportunities.
Our
women
need
opportunities.
Our
activists
need
room
to
grow.
No
constituency
forgotten!
No
hardworking
activist
left
behind!
A
stronger
grassroots!
A
stronger
Secretariat!
A
stronger
NDC!
