The Asanteman Council has urged President John Mahama to prioritize ongoing and future development projects in the Ashanti Region.
The appeal was made during the President’s visit to the first Akwasidae Festival of the year in Kumasi, where he was warmly received by traditional leaders and residents.
Speaking on behalf of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Mamponghene, Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, called on the President to ensure that development projects across the Ashanti Kingdom, including those in Mampong, are given top priority.
“You shall not let us down on all the ongoing developmental projects within the kingdom—not only in Kumasi but across the rest of the kingdom, like your own brother’s kingdom, Mampong,” Daasebre Osei Bonsu II stated.
The Mamponghene also commended President Mahama for his efforts to streamline governance by reducing the number of ministerial appointments. He encouraged the President to ensure that key officials responsible for development remain focused on addressing the needs of the Ashanti Region.
“Asanteman should always be number one because now, you are our precious president of Mother Ghana,” he added.
President Mahama, who used the occasion to express gratitude to the Asanteman Council for their support during the 2024 elections, reassured the gathering of his commitment to equitable development. He acknowledged the region’s significant contribution to his electoral victory and pledged to see all ongoing and future projects through to completion.
