Residents across the Volta Region have thrown their weight behind Gabriel Kwamigah Tanko Atokple, a humanitarian leader and entrepreneur, to represent the region in Ghana’s Council of State.
Known for his tireless commitment to philanthropy and community development, Tanko has become a household name, particularly through his work with the Tanko Foundation.
Residents believe his track record of selfless service makes him the ideal candidate to champion the region’s interests at the national level.
A Champion of Humanity and Development
Hailing from Weta in the Ketu North District, Gabriel Kwamigah Tanko Atokple has gained the unwavering trust and admiration of the Volta Region. Through the Tanko Foundation, he has transformed lives by addressing critical issues in education, healthcare, and economic empowerment. From building schools to sponsoring medical care for the underprivileged, Tanko’s actions speak louder than words, earning him accolades as a true servant of the people.
“Tanko is a visionary leader who always prioritizes the welfare of others. His philanthropic initiatives have brought hope to families and communities across the region,” a resident stated during an interview.
Why Tanko Stands Out
Residents argue that Tanko’s extensive experience, unwavering dedication to public service, and strategic vision make him the most qualified candidate for the Council of State. Many see his candidacy as a golden opportunity to amplify the Volta Region’s voice in national policymaking while driving significant developmental projects.
“Tanko has a unique ability to bridge the gap between the needs of ordinary citizens and policymakers. He is a man who understands our struggles and has consistently worked to address them,” another resident remarked.
Describing Tanko as “a good man with the region’s best interests at heart,” community members are confident that his leadership will propel the Volta Region into a brighter future.
A Track Record of Excellence
Tanko’s contributions to the Volta Region extend beyond philanthropy. As the CEO of Sesi-Edem Company Limited, a gold mining enterprise with a global reputation for eco-friendly practices, and TK Realties, a real estate firm, he has demonstrated exceptional business acumen. His ventures have not only created jobs but also emphasized sustainability, making him a role model in ethical entrepreneurship.
In politics, Tanko has shown resilience and dedication. A committed member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), he serves on the National Welfare Committee and has played a pivotal role in shaping the party’s policies. Though he narrowly lost in the parliamentary primaries for Ketu North in 2019 and 2023, his contributions to the constituency have never wavered.
Key achievements in his political career include drafting the NDC’s National Welfare Policy Document and serving on numerous regional and national committees, showcasing his leadership skills and commitment to public service.
A Legacy of Service
Tanko’s extensive public service includes years of work with the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, where he contributed to major national projects, such as the Public-Private Partnership Committee and the National Farmers’ Day Planning Committee. He also operates a 200-acre rice farm in Ziope, underlining his commitment to agricultural development in Ghana.
Describing him as “a leader who always goes the extra mile for his people,” residents are optimistic that Tanko’s wealth of experience will bring transformative change to the Volta Region.
