Apostle Dr. Samuel Dadzie, Leader and Founder – Leaders Light International Church(LLIC).
The Founder and Leader of Leaders Light International Church in Osabene in the Akuapem North Municipal Assembly of Eastern Region, Apostle Dr. Samuel Dadzie says, Ghanain parliamentarians shouldn’t waste their precious time to discuss the LGBTQI+ Bill whether to implement it to become law or not.
This, according to the Man of God it’s unnecessary to discussion such matter.
“Ghanaians expect Parliamentarians/ Parliament to address to the unemployment rate issues, challenges confronting health, education and roads sector and find solutions to them not LGBTQI+ that wouldn’t bring any development to this country” he said.
Apostle Dr. Dadzie adds, he don’t believe Parliament would pass bill like LGBTQI+ to become law to allow same sex marriage in Ghana, indicating that no matter what it will be quashed away, since Prez Akufo-Addo has made it clear that not under his watch would he allow such inhuman behavior to occurred.
He told kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH in an interview during a Sunday church service, stressing that what is ‘illegal is illegal’ as it is abomination before God.
“The LGBTQI+ law that is coming would determine whether we would practice same sex marriage or not. If no ,then the security agencies would enforce the law for everybody to comply with it” he continue.
The Board Chairman for Akro-Farm in the Akuapem North Municipal Assembly of Eastern Region, Mr. Emmanuel Ntow-Kissiedu in an interview with Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH has revealed that, scarcity of maiz in the Ghanaian market is making poultry farming so difficult for farmers.
According to him, the price of maize has in recently increased to the extent that farmers can’t afford to purchase.
He said, they have over 80,000 birds (chicken) in which they feed them at their farm. Feeding 1,000 birds(chicken) is not easy and how much more feeding over 80,000 birds imagine the cost involve is huge amount of money.
“Meanwhile we purchase this maize from the farmers in the country. The most painful aspect of it is that; offlate when the farmers harvested their maize they sell them to Burkinabés for France CFA. Because their currency is heavier than ours”.
Mr. Ntow-Kissiedu added, sometimes they have to travelled to Tumu in the Upper West Region before they get access to maize for their birds which is very challenging.
He continued indicating that before the bird flu hit some part or the country, they’ve already put measures in place to protect their birds.
“Because our birds are many and is huge amount of money. So we can’t wait for the flu to kill them before we find solution to it” he said.
However, Mr. Ntow-Kissiedu stressed, everything being equal, they are looking to 2025 to see that the birds (chickens) that would be laying eggs would be amounted to the total number of 1 million.
Furthermore, the founder of Akro-Farm, Dr. Benson Opoku appealed to Prez Akufo-Addo to help them solve the maize menace that is confronting poultry farmers in the country.
He hinted, his poultry farm is under the 1D1F initiative by the NPP gov’t led by H. E. Prez Nana Addo. Stating that they are grateful to Exim Bank for their support.
Dr. Opoku again pleads with Prez Akufo-Addo to come to their aid because they want to expand their farm to create more jobs for the youth within the municipality to help reduce the unemployment rate in the country.

Hon. Adupko noted that they are not encouraging illegal mining in the country since everyone knows their activity is causing damage to our water bodies and lands as well.

The Eastern Regional Executives of the New Patriotic Party under the able Chairmanship of Hon. Kiston Akomeng Kissi wishes to state categorically and unequivocally that the list being circulated on social media purported to be the list of Municipal and District Chief Executives of the Eastern Region is FAKE and must be disregarded.

In some cases, the said FAKE list has resulted in widespread and spontaneous jubilation among other Party Members in the Region.
The Regional Executives wish to use this opportunity to inform Party Members and the entire people of Eastern Region to disregard the said list on the social media and treat it with the contempt it deserves.

Eastern Regional 1st Vice Chairman for NPP, Alhaji Umar Bodinga has disassociated himself from the leaked audio of NDC’s Abuakwa North Constituency deputy communication officer, Alhaji Abdul Wahab Adams.
In the said leaked audio, Alhaji Wahab Adams thanked Prez Akufo-Addo for appointing Alhaji Umar Bodinga as the new MCE for the Municipality and said he can do the work to bring development to the municipality.
He again said, since this is the first time a northerner has been chosen to became the MCE of the area, the Akyems will serve under him thus the MP for the constituency, Hon. Gifty Twum Ampofo should come down for Alhaji Bodinga to work in a corporative manner because Prez didn’t appoint her person.
Alhaji Abdul Adams said these when a purported list of eastern regional Municipal and District Chief Executives leaked on Friday, July 23,2021, where Alhaji Umar Bodinga was named as new MCE for Abuakwa North.
With regard to this, Alhaji Umar Bodinga has disclosed to Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH that he don’t know anything about the leaked audio and moreover he hasn’t asked Alhaji Abdul Adams to make any statement indicating that “Akyems will come under the northeners for the first time in history of Abuakwa North”

He does stressed that he’s thinking about the developmental projects he will do for the residents within the municipality if God permit and H.E. Prez give the nod to him to come and serve under his gov’t.
“What I learnt from my political godfather Prez Akufo-Addo since 1992 is that; he is not a type of person who believes in nepotism when it comes to governance”. So I won’t also do anything that will bring separation amongst the good of people Abuakwa North if Prez appoint me”
“I have worked with Hon. Gifty Twum Ampofo several years and will continue to work with her as my MP if am given the slot. Together with Hon. Gifty Twum Ampofo, we will transform Abuakwa North because we are all hardworking persons” he stated.
Alhaji Umar Bodinga emphatically affirmed that, he is in good terms with the MP, revealing that when the late MP of the constituency, Hon. J. B. Danquah was assassinated, he went to Akosombo International School where the then Mrs. Gifty Ampofo work at as a teacher to have a dialogue with her to come and occupy the vacant position of the late MP.
Addition he said, such statement from his brother Alhaji Abdul Wahab Adams is unfortunate, stressing that there is no way the Akyems will come under him, rather would ever be ready to serve the good people of Akyem Abuakwa North including his sister Hon. MP should the nod be given to him.
