Benjamin Yeboah Sekyere, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tano South in the Ahafo region, has expressed confidence in Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia’s ability to lead Ghana towards a brighter future.
Speaking at an event in Techimantia on Friday (18 October), Sekyere described Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, as the most capable leader to manage the nation’s resources effectively.
Sekyere highlighted Bawumia’s track record of delivering impactful economic and social policies as Vice President, stating that his leadership would propel Ghana forward.
He urged Ghanaians, particularly his constituents, to vote wisely in the upcoming 7 December elections, emphasising, “Our destiny as a country lies in our thumps. Let’s vote prudently.”
During the event, Sekyere donated 100 sewing machines and hairdryers to seamstresses and hairstylists in the Tano South constituency, a gesture he said was aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, boosting productivity, and creating jobs.
He noted that empowering local artisans and small business owners is critical for economic growth and self-sufficiency.
As Deputy Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Sekyere has championed initiatives to uplift his constituency since 2017.
Beyond providing sewing machines, he has funded the apprentice fees of over 2,000 residents to learn trades, helping them acquire the skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive job market.
At the presentation ceremony, Sekyere praised the NPP government’s commitment to employment creation, quality education, and skills development.
He highlighted the party’s focus on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), which he believes is key to accelerating Ghana’s technological and economic development.
He also emphasised the NPP’s significant investment in TVET over the past seven years, saying it reflects the party’s vision for a more prosperous Ghana.
Sekyere encouraged the beneficiaries of the sewing machines to use them wisely, stressing the long-term economic benefits of their craft.
“I believe in the potential of our artisans, more especially my revered women, saying that investing in them for socio-economic advancement is key for nation-building,” he concluded.
