The Regent of Akrofuom, Nana Anim Agyekum II, has, on behalf of his people, pledged their support to the Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Dr. Bawumia took his Ashanti Regional tour to the Akrofuom Constituency on Tuesday morning and as part of his activities, engaged stakeholders of the constituency in Akrofuom to explain his vision for the country.
Welcoming Dr. Bawumia on behalf of Chiefs and the people of the area, Nana Anim Agyekum praised President Akufo-Addo and the NPP for the development it has brought to the area, and also assured Dr. Bawumia, whom he described as “future leader” their unflinching support.
“Here our main job is petty trading and we needed a good market for our traders. Now we have a very big market among other projects,’ said the Chief, as he also praised the commitment of the District Chief Executive and the NPP Parliamentary Candidate.
“Future leader, please I want to request that you extend our gratitude to President Akufo-Addo. Tell him that when you cane here the people of Akrofuom said they are very grateful to him. Tell him the Chief and his people are very grateful.”
While assuring Dr. Bawumia of their support, Nana Anim Agyekum praised Dr. Bawumia for his wisdom and urged him to be resolute as President.
“As you are coming, stay resolute for God has blessed you with wisdom and bravery,’ he said.
“The way Ghanaians have accepted you, we have also joined them to embrace you. We have taken you as our son because we know you will not disappoint us.”
The Chief further commended government for the district road improvement project (DRIP) machines sent to them, urging the district to speed up with upgrading some roads he mentioned.
Dr. Bawumia assured the Chiefs and people of the area of his commitment to continuing the support the NPP has given to the community.
Dr. Bawumia said once supported, he will be more accountable to the people because he will have to come back and seek re-election from the people, unlike his opponent, who will not seek re-election.
