The Ekumfi Sumankwaahen and Chief of Ekumfi Srafa has showered praises and prayers on the NDC Presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama for what he describes as his astute and visionary leadership, the massive legacy projects in his name, his commitment to the Ghana project and the hope he represents for the youth.
According to Nana Nyeiku VII, Ghanaians must be bold enough to speak the truth regardless of intimidation and threats to promote good governance.
Speaking at a mini durbar during the visit of the NDC Flagbearer, Nana Nyeiku VII, observed that the achievement of John Mahama during his tenure as President, is unmatched hence his endorsement.
The Chief, who did not mince words said the neglect by the Akufo Addo- Bawumia administration can only end under an NDC government.
“It is sad to say that not a single kilometer of asphalted roads has been added to Ekumfi roads. The unemployment rate is also alarming” he said
He cited several projects including schools, health facilities, incentives for fishermen as well as abandoned projects as some tangible references that make the people appreciate the NDC.
You will recall that President Akufo Addo openly confessed before Chiefs from the area during a courtesy call on him at the Jubilee house that he deliberately denied them much needed development projects because they voted against his preferred Parliamentary candidate in the 2020 elections.
Nana Nyeiku VII used the occasion to appeal to the Former President to complete abandoned projects to open up the area to improve the lives of the people.
He also cautioned John Mahama to be extremely vigilant in the process leading up to the election and on election day
“We know the elections are in your favour. The wind of change is towards you but I entreat you to have heightened vigilance in the process” he emphasized
On his part, John Mahama has assured a future NDC government will ensure complete development of Ekumfi and the Central region at large.
