The Parliamentary Candidate for Okere Constituency in the Eastern Region, Daniel Nana Addo-Kenneth, says the December 7 polls will be decided by Traditional Authorities in the country.
According to him, the Chiefs are the custodians of the lands, likewise, the politicians who don’t spend much more time in power.
“All the developmental projects have been vested into the hands of the government, and if the Chiefs are seeking development, they go to the politicians before getting them; hence, they must take the 2024 elections seriously and vote for the development-oriented party who thinks about their well-being,” he opined.
Daniel Kenneth stated that traditional rulers don’t involve themselves in active politics, but if they need infrastructure projects for their towns, then they should wake up and advise their people to give the leadership mantle to the Flagbearer of NPP, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia to continue the good works of President Akufo Addo in 2025 to prevent the country from going backward.
He indicated the electricity and tarring of Okere roads projects, which started from Former President John Kuffuor’s era, were not continued for 8 years during the former President Mahama’s administration until President Akufo-Addo came to power in 2016 and completed those projects through Dan Kwaku Botwe, the outgoing Member of Parliament for the constituency.
The Parliamentary Candidate for Okere then said this was a clear indication that the NPP government has been fair to the people of Okere and that the chiefs and elders in the area would not be ungrateful to the NPP.
He made this assertion during the engagement with the Chiefs and Elders of all the seven towns in Okere at Amanfrom on Saturday, September 13, 2024, to propagate the achievement of the NPP to enable them to maintain power.
The Okere PC, who doubles as the District Chief Executive (DCE) for the District, used the opportunity to showcase some of the infrastructure projects the NPP government has done in the area to them.
Speaking with the media, the Chief of Amanfrom, Nana Tete Ajokwa III commended the NPP government for the numerous developmental projects received in Okere and stated that all the projects their Parliamentary Candidate mentioned are visible to be seen and expressed their gratitude.
“They have given us the District Hospital, Court, and educational infrastructure, and even recently, they cut sod for seven major projects to complement the existing ones,” he said.
He then assured him of his support by demarcating some lands to the assembly to use for other important projects to develop the area.
Nana Tete Ajokwa III added that Daniel Kenneth has performed better as DCE and would pray for him to win the Okere Parliamentary seat to become the next Member of Parliament in 2025 and continue the good works of their indefatigable outgoing MP, Daniel Kwaku Botwe.
