Senior Minister Yaw Osafo-Maafo
The Senior Minister, Yaw Osafo-Maafo, has urged the people of Western Region to vote massively for the NPP in the coming elections. This, according to him, is to enable the Akufo-Addo government to continue to fashion out policies that would help protect and develop the region’s natural resources, as it rolls out plans to make the region a petroleum hub.
He made the call when he led a team of prominent personalities to a ‘Ghana Beyond Aid’ event held in the Western Region, last week, as part of his nationwide campaign tour.
The Senior Minister visited the Nzema area, where he met with the seven paramount chiefs of Nzemaland, including Awulae Annor Adjei III, Western Nzema; Awulae Amihere Kpanyinli II, Eastern Nzema; Nsein Awulae Agyefi Kwame, Nsein; Awulae Angama Tu Agyan II, Gwira; Awulae Attibulukusu III, Lower Axim; Nana Kwesi Adusei II, Upper Axim (Acting); and Nana Nyamekye II- Apatam (Acting).
He assured the chiefs and people of Nzema that in the second term of President Akufo-Addo, the NPP government will do more for the region.
Protecting resources
According to the Senior Minister, Western Region has valuable natural assets that can be harnessed for the benefits of the region and the entire nation. He added that there is therefore the need for the country’s mineral resources in the region and other areas to be protected and managed efficiently.
According to him, a vote for the NPP will consolidate the efforts by the Akufo-Addo government to tap into those assets and utilise them judiciously.
Parliamentary candidates’ meeting
The Senior Minister also met the NPP parliamentary candidates for Ellembele, Evalue-Gwira and Jomoro constituencies to boost their morale, and encourage them to work harder victory come December 7.
He indicated that the time has come for the NPP to win back the Ellembele seat to consolidate the gains made by President Akufo-Addo in the region.
He also went to Tarkwa, where he met with the NPP parliamentary candidate, George Mireku Duker, and other leaders of the party in the Tarkwa Nsuaem constituency.
Addressing the chiefs and people at separate mini rallies in Dompim, Nsuaem and Brenuakyim, Mr Osafo-Maafo said the good works of the MP are visible in the communities, hence the people have a duty to retain him to continue to work with the President in their interest.
The chiefs in the region commended the government and President Akufo-Addo for transforming Ghana within four years. According to them, the progress the country has made in just four years has been unprecedented.
