Togbega Dei Kodzo XII, the Paramount Chief of the Peki traditional area, was unable to conceal his appreciation and gratitude for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), led by Akufo-Addo, during his meeting with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
During his campaign visit in the South Dayi Constituency in the Volta Region, Dr. Bawumia, the ruling NPP’s presidential candidate in the next general election on December 7, received a courtesy call at his palace by members of his campaign team.
Then Togbega said, “Those of us who are observers realize that if all of us had taken seriously a lot of the fruitful policies that the government had introduced, I think we would have been singing a better song than we are doing today.”
“I will also want to say that the government and people belonging to the government do not sing their praises enough,” he pointed out.
“If you come to the rural areas, sometimes we don’t even know what the government is doing, but if you take interest in what is going on, then you will see what is going on,” he explained.
Instead, Togbega Dei Kodzo XII declared, “We take great pleasure in the regrettable economic challenges that the nation is facing.”
He said that “sometimes we need to project the good things that are happening to us so that everybody can take delight and benefit from what it is,” even though he noted that bad news typically sells more than good news.
The Peki Paramount Chief was equally ecstatic about Dr. Bawumia’s transformation of the nation’s political landscape.
