Ahiagbah expressed his belief that Dr Bawumia\u2019s leadership will bring the much-needed development and prosperity to the region, contrasting it with what he perceives as a lack of vision from the opposition party.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his X platform, Ahiagbah emphasized the importance of economic growth and job creation in the Volta Region, underscoring the potential impact that a free zone enclave could have on the local economy.<br \/>He urged residents to reject sentiment and instead focus on the practical benefits that Dr Bawumia\u2019s leadership could bring to the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVolta must support Bawumia and reject Mahama.
