The Omanhene of Asumagya and Benkumhene of Asanteman, Odeneho Okyere Kusi Ntrama, has assured the Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, of the support of his people in his bid to be elected the next President of Ghana.
As part of his tour of the Ashanti Region, Dr. Bawumia visited Amansie in the Bekwai Constituency on Tuesday, where he engaged constituency stakeholders, including traditional rulers and religious leaders, to explain his policies and seek their support.
Welcoming Dr. Bawumia, the Omanhene of Asumagya urged the NPP and Dr. Bawumia to continue with development projects in the constituency and assured the Vice President of the community’s support to ensure his success.
“We know why you are here. You are here to seek our support and solicit our votes. We will help, we will be with you, and make it possible. Dr., we are with you and we are behind you,” the Omanhene said to Dr. Bawumia.
The Omanhene also noted that the support offered should be reciprocated under Dr. Bawumia’s government.
“What we will say is that if you take good care of us, we will also take good care of you,” said the Omanhene, as he listed several priorities for his people to be considered by Dr. Bawumia’s government.
Among the priorities raised by Odeneho Okyere Kusi Ntrama were the development of inner roads in towns around Amansie, the establishment of a specialized hospital for the community, and a university.
He also urged Dr. Bawumia to address illegal mining (galamsey), adding that traditional rulers should be involved in policies to tackle this issue.
Addressing the stakeholders, Dr. Bawumia expressed gratitude to Nananom and other stakeholders for their support.
Regarding the issues raised, Dr. Bawumia assured Nananom that he is committed to community development and, as President, will prioritize their concerns.
He urged the community to support him, promising to remain accountable to them, as he would seek re-election and have to return to account for his stewardship, unlike his main opponent.
