Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is continuing with his tour of Islamic communities across the country, the latest being Dorma Ahenkro in the Brong Ahafo Region over the last weekend.
In Dormaa Ahenkro, before meeting the Chief Imam of the town, he called on the Dormaa Ahenkrohene to flag off his tour of the region. Like he always does in the various Islamic communities, he broke the fast with his fellow Muslims in the town and briefed them about various interventions by government to improve the living standards of citizens.
The Paramount Chief of the Dormaa Traditional Area in the BrongAhafo Region, Osagyefo Oseadeyo Agyemang Badu II urged all Ghanaians, irrespective of political affiliation, to pray for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP government to successfully implement its policies and programmes.
Emphasising that, “leadership is not easy” at any level, Osagyefo Oseadeyo Agyemang Badu maintains that the Akufo-Addo government would need everyone on board to take Ghana to the next level of her developmental process.
He stressed that the Akufo-Addo government had started on a good note in the 17 months since it assumed the reins of power, and it is important to support it to succeed.
The Dormaa Omanhene commended government for the ‘life-saving’ programmes such as the Free Senior High School Education, and the fight against illegal mining popularly known as galamsey, which had “restored sanity” to environmental management.
“Of course, some people will criticize this programme (FSHS) introduced by President Nana Akufo-Addo, his Vice Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the NPP, but I will urge you to ignore such talks but rather focus on addressing the few challenges. All of us, including my citizens in Dormaa are enjoying the benefits, so please stay focused and deliver.”
In brief remarks, Vice President Bawumia expressed government’s appreciation to the chiefs and people of Dormaa for the generous donation of land for the construction of a Sports Development Centre, and assured of government’s continued efforts to ensure the spread of developmental projects across the nation including roads and educational facilities.
The Vice President was yesterday in Offinso where he visited the Offinsohene before meeting Muslims as part of the tour.
