President Akufo-Addo has disclosed that he deliberately neglected the needs of the people of Ekumfi because they voted the NPP candidate for the area, Francis Kingsley Ato Codjoe, out in the 2020 elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a meeting with traditional leaders in the constituency, the President candidly shared his disappointment with the Ekumfi Chiefs, revealing that the electoral defeat of his preferred candidate prompted a reduction in his engagement with the constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201cAto Cudjoe who was the MP for the area. I made him a deputy minister so that through that he would initiate development projects in the area but it didn\u2019t last. During the subsequent election, he was voted out and these all accounted for my neglect for the area,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something wrong with President Akufo-Addo\u2019s public statements lately<\/p>\n

I defended him for the Mepe gaffe but this one about Ekumfi shows that actually is his thinking <\/p>\n

He\u2019s admitting he\u2019s failed to develop Ekumfi because they voted out the NPP MP in 2020

Despite the disappointment, President Akufo-Addo assured the Chiefs that he will resume engagement with the constituency following their courtesy call.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut once you\u2019re here, I\u2019ve heard what you\u2019ve said,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
