President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo with some chiefs<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nDuring a two-day working visit to the Western North region, President Akufo-Addo met with the Omanhene of Sefwi Wiawso Traditional Area, who praised the President as being \u201ccourageous\u201d and a \u201cpromise keeper\u201d for his government\u2019s creation of a new region there.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany were those who did not believe in you, but you have proven to us that you are ?seade?y? (promise keeper),\u201d said Katakyie Kwasi Bumangama II, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are a courageous leader. There aren\u2019t enough words to describe what you have done for us,\u201d the Chief added.<\/p>\n
It took the appeals of 44 successive chiefs and their people in the enclave to be able to call a region their own, the Sefwi Wiawso Chief said. During a campaign stop Nana Akufo-Addo made in the region in 2016 before he came into power, they proposed the idea to the then-NPP flagbearer.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou indicated that if we voted for you, you will ensure that our request for the Western North region is granted,\u201d Katakyie Kwasi Bumangama II said.<\/p>\n
When Akufo-Addo came into power, he fulfilled their request.<\/p>\n
The Chief also thanked Akufo-Addo for a $20 million presentation to spearhead the creation of the region. \u201cThat is why we need not put undue pressure on you. We need to allow you to carefully nurture our region for us. Because you gave us the region, you can best develop it for us. All that is required, we know you will provide.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cIn fact, we had presumed that it will delay, but, due to your ever-prepared disposition, you announced their appointment soon enough for us. You have appointed our most preferred candidate. On Aboagye-Gyedu, Mr. President, I know little of, but the Anhwiaso Manhene can vouch for him. But Alex Tetteh (Deputy Western North Region Minister) is a man after my own heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Akufo-Addo left the ceremony, he presented three Nissan Patrol vehicles and five pickup trucks, intended to be used by the Western North Regional Coordinating Council.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
