Because indeed, he knows that if the NPP is in power for whatever years, there is nothing they can offer the people of Ekumfi. He\u2019s finished our campaign for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Ekumfi MP also said that the president\u2019s statement was unfortunate and that he was unhappy about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a very unfortunate statement, a very, very unfortunate talk because this is my second term of being an MP for the people of Ekumfi. And indeed when you go to Ekumfi, whatever development is being done is by the NDC or NDC government by then. It is unfortunate that the NPP has been in power for the past eight years and they cannot point to one project they have done for the people of Ekumfi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think if the president is talking to the people of this country, I think he should say something comfortable. He shouldn\u2019t say things like that. I was unhappy when I heard it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong><em>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! \ud83c\udf10\ud83d\udcf0 #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abeiku Crentsil, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ekumfi, says President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged his constituents to keep voting for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) by admitting to neglecting development in the constituency.
