In a symbolic endorsement for the December 7 election, the Berekum Traditional Council has handed the key to Berekum to New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
This shows the Council’s absolute support for Dr Bawumia’s presidential bid and grant him access to the community.
This was at a durbar to welcome Dr Bawumia to Berekum on Friday, October 11.
“We have handed over the key to Berekum to you,” Osaberima Yeboah Datteh II, acting president of the Council told Bawumia on behalf of the council.
In a short address, Osabarma Datteh II commended the NPP flagbearer for his impact as Vice President, as well as his vision, which he intends to implement as president.
“You have not been president before but you have done a lot. As president, I believe you’ll do a lot. I urge the people to support you because I believe that if you are supported, you will do a lot for us and the country,” he said.
The Traditional Council also expressed gratitude to the NPP for the support over the years.
“You look at the market that has been built and also our main roads, which have been tarred. We are very fortunate because not every town has such opportunities. Berekum is very grateful.
“Berekum and your party are like twins. Always, we vote for you and I am confident the people will continue to support you because of what you bring on board.”
The chief, on behalf of the council, appealed to Dr Bawumia to see to the completion of the Berekum town roads as president.
Dr Bawumia also expressed gratitude to the traditional council for their warm welcome and encouragement, assuring them that he will continue the good works of his predecessors in the NPP, Presidents Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo.
He noted further that the NPP has demonstrated that it is the only party that has shown care and concern for all Ghanaians by implementing social interventions such as NHIS and school feeding by President Kufuor, as well as free SHS and TVET, One Constituency One Ambulance, Ghana Card, among others, by President Akufo-Addo, which every Ghanaian is benefitting.
