John Ampontuah Kumah
The Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), John Ampontuah Kumah, has said the time is ripe for him to lead the people of the Ejisu Constituency in the Ashanti Region, as they need a ‘saviour’.
According to him, his main objective of aspiring to become the Member of Parliament (MP) for the area is to bring development to the constituency and create more jobs for the youth, asserting that he has the ability to ‘manoeuvre’ a complex political system to bring about needed changes required by the people of Ejisu.
He told DAILY GUIDE that he had campaigned vigorously at Ejisu at his spare time to ensure that he wins the June 20 NPP primary to represent the people on December 7.
He said the training of 7,000 startups under the Presidential Business Support Programme amply attests to his ability on job creation, and added that a total of 1,350 beneficiaries had been supported with funds ranging from GH?10,000.00 to GH?100,000.
Kumah said he had the wherewithal, stature, credibility and the sincerity to lead the people of the constituency, intimating the NPP at Ejisu needs such a person to lead the constituency.
“The constituency needs someone who is not a consensus builder but one who is a strong leader and has faith in the greatness of what the Ejisu Constituency has to offer even in the most trying times,” he added.
Mr. Kumah, a lawyer, said he would continue to campaign devoid of acrimony and bickering, since he said the primary was a ‘family’ contest and the biggest task was for the NPP to focus on how to secure the mandate of the people and give President Akufo-Addo a second term.
