“We are grateful to President Akufo-Addo for the appointment of Eric Essien. We the youth are proud of him because of his good track record,” they said.
The spokesperson for the Nzema Youth in Axim, Aaron Angati, pointed out that the entire municipality is excited about the confidence President Akufo-Addo has reposed in the nominee who is reckoned as a symbol of hope for the area.
“This appointment is accepted by all. The nominee has contributed consistently towards the development of the area. He is competent and we believe he will serve the President and the municipal well,” he said.
