The Berekum Traditional Council has ceremonially presented the key to Berekum to Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
This gesture signifies their unwavering endorsement of Dr. Bawumia’s candidacy for the presidency. During his visit to Berekum on Friday morning, the Traditional Council granted the NPP flagbearer unrestricted access to the community.
We have handed over the key to Berekum to you.
Osaberima Yeboah Datteh II, the Acting President of the Council, conveyed a message to Bawumia on behalf of the Council. In his welcome address to Dr. Bawumia, Osaberima Yeboah Datteh II praised the NPP flagbearer for his significant contributions during his tenure as Vice President, as well as for the vision he aims to realize upon assuming the presidency.
You have not been President before but you have done a lot. As President, I believe you’ll do a lot.
I urge the people to support you because I believe that if you are supported, you will do a lot for us and the country.
The Traditional Council conveyed its appreciation to the NPP for the assistance provided to Berekum.
Berekum is very grateful to the NPP government for the development it has brought to us.
You look at the market that has been built and also our main roads, which have been tarred. We are very fortunate because not every town has such opportunities. Berekum is very grateful.
Berekum and your party are like twins. Always, we vote for you and I am confident the people will continue to support you because of what you bring on board.
The Chief, representing the Council, urged Dr. Bawumia to prioritize the completion of the roads in Berekum as he assumes the role of President. In response, Dr. Bawumia expressed his appreciation to the Traditional Council for their gracious reception and support, assuring them of his commitment to continue the positive initiatives established by his predecessors in the New Patriotic Party, Presidents Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo.
Dr. Bawumia further emphasized that the New Patriotic Party has proven itself to be the sole political entity that genuinely cares for the welfare of all Ghanaians.
He highlighted various social interventions implemented under the leadership of President Kufuor, such as the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and the School Feeding Programme, as well as initiatives introduced by President Akufo-Addo, including Free Senior High School (SHS), Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), the One Constituency One Ambulance initiative, and the Ghana Card, all of which have benefitted the populace.
