The Member of Parliament for Asunafo North in the Ahafo Region, Haruna Mohammed, has commissioned a renovated water system at Mim to help end the longstanding water crisis in the community.
Speaking to Adom News, the MP explained that the water facility, popularly known as , had been serving residents for over 15 years but had broken down and been abandoned. He said this compelled him to refurbish it to ensure residents have access to a reliable water source.
According to him, the system, which has 20 taps in a row, will be free for all residents to use.
He noted that there will be no charges or bills because he has taken responsibility for covering the cost of the water.
Nana Baffour Awuah II, the Kyidomhene of Mim, together with some residents, expressed gratitude to the MP for intervening to address the water challenges in the area.
They also urged community members to take good care of the facility to ensure it lasts and continues to serve its purpose.
Hodzoga, Nov. 28, GNA – The 2025 Volta Regional Farmers’ Day celebration renews government’s commitment to agricultural development, with calls for support, cooperation and modernised farming practices.
Mr James Gunu, the Volta Regional Minister, told the gathering at the Hodzoga M/A Basic School Park that the government remained committed to strengthening agriculture across the region.
“We are revamping irrigation dams, constructing new ones, renovating abandoned classroom blocks and improving road networks under the Big Push policy,” he said.
He urged farmers to form unions and cooperatives to ease access to Farmer Service Centres and funding.
“Our hardworking farmers must organise themselves to benefit fully from the financial facilities available,” he noted, adding that more young people should take advantage of opportunities in agriculture.
Mr Richmond Kofi Kpotosu, the Member of Parliament of Ho Central, encouraged farmers to adopt modern and climate-friendly farming methods.
“Let us support our farmers not only with words on Farmers’ Day, but with our actions every single day,” he said, urging the public to patronise locally grown produce.
Mr William Dzamefe, the Volta Regional Director of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), applauded farmers for their resilience.
“We must confront post-harvest losses if we are to secure food for the future,” he said.
He said the region remained committed to sustainable agricultural development.
Togbe Agbolosu VII, the Acting Paramount Chief of the Hodzo Traditional Area, appealed for a dam to support all-year-round vegetable production.
“Our lands are fertile, but unpredictable weather affects productivity. We need MoFA to facilitate a dam to enable sustained farming,” he said.
He also urged the operationalisation of abandoned school structures.
“These buildings must serve our community and nation as originally envisioned,” he added.
During the celebrations, Mr Kpotosu, the Ho Central MP presented a tricycle and other prizes to Madam Favour Kumah of Hodzoga, who was adjudged the Ho Municipal Overall Best Farmer.
Kpedze Senior High School was named the Regional Best SHS in Practical Agriculture, while Mr Godwin Adordie also known as “Point and Kill” from Adaklu District won Overall Regional Best Farmer, Mr Balido Moses of Nyive won Best Youth Farmer, and Madam Cecilia Ahorgah of Ziave Adukofe was named Best Differently Abled Farmer.
The officials who were present at the four-day outreach mission
The International Centre for Public Development (ICPD) has wrapped up a four-day outreach mission to the Northern and Upper East Regions, marking its contribution to International Fraud Awareness Week with a series of focused stakeholder engagements on financial crime prevention.
The initiative was led by senior officials Hope Kwaku Nyadi, Head of Programmes and Public Relations, Ellis Asamani, Centre Coordinator, and James Zirah Salifu, Head of Finance, the team held discussions with regional actors across law enforcement, local government, business, and media.
A major part of the mission centred on meetings with the Northern and Upper East Regional Directorates of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
The two institutions explored deeper collaboration, emphasising stronger information-sharing systems, coordinated strategies, and improved early-warning mechanisms to curb fraud and other financial offences.
Beyond EOCO, ICPD consulted the Small & Medium Indigenous Poultry Farmers Association of Ghana, the Northern and Upper East Regional Coordinating Councils, and other governance structures.
These engagements highlighted persistent compliance gaps, capacity limitations in financial reporting, and the need for more robust governance practices across public and private institutions.
The delegation also met Hajj Yussif Musah, CEO of Man Forex Bureau, to discuss risks linked to counterfeit currency, robbery incidents, and money-laundering vulnerabilities.
A separate session with Lydia Ania Ajono, CEO of Radio Gurune, focused on how media platforms can drive public education on fraud and financial misconduct.
ICPD committed to developing targeted training in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for radio personnel and traditional leaders, along with tailored capacity-building initiatives for regional staff working on financial crime prevention.
According to Centre Coordinator Ellis Asamani, insights from the visit will shape the organisation’s 2026 Capacity Building and Anti-Fraud Programme.
He emphasised ICPD’s intention to reinforce transparency, professional standards, and responsible governance across the regions.
The strengthening of ties between ICPD and EOCO was singled out as a notable outcome of the mission, with both bodies agreeing to expand joint efforts to tackle corruption and financial crime.
Hearts of Oak host Vision FC on Saturday, November 29, 2025, as they try to revive their fading Premier League title hopes.
The Phobians have struggled lately, winning just one of their last five matches and recording six draws this season.
Despite boasting the league’s best defence with only four goals conceded in eleven games, their poor home form — just one win in five — continues to cost them.
They sit sixth with 18 points and urgently need a victory to avoid falling further behind. Vision FC, unbeaten at home but winless in five away matches, arrive with confidence after a 2–2 draw with Heart of Lions but remain shaky on the road.
President of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Dr Alex Nwuba.
President of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Dr Alex Nwuba, has called on the Federal Government to overhaul Nigeria’s aviation cost structure, warning that excessive charges and taxes are ultimately passed on to passengers.
In an interview with ARISE News on Saturday, Nwuba highlighted that over 70% of the cost of an airline ticket comes from fees and taxes, with airfare itself representing only a small portion.
“If you look at your ticket, over 70% of the cost is related to charges and taxes. So the industry itself, not just consumers, is concerned about these charges, saying the Federal Government should review them,” he said.
He also praised Nigeria’s aviation safety record, noting, “In 100 years of aviation in Nigeria, less than 1,500 lives have been lost in aviation incidents. Compared to other modes of transport, Nigerians should be confident in the sector.”
Nwuba further pointed to structural issues beyond ticket fees, highlighting high financing costs as a key challenge.
He said, “The other problem with that is if you also look at it from the standpoint of beyond the charges, all of the related costs are affected.
“You have an industry where the airlines are screaming that there’s no money, they’re having real challenges, but the airport operators, the service providers, are putting up double-digit revenue growth.
“And so one must look at addressing this issue, not from the airline point, but really the regulator and the government side, that there are too many charges, too many costs.
“Then you have the interest rate regime. The minimum, of course, the Central Bank’s rate is about 19%, which gets passed on to the banks, and so airlines pay 37% in financing costs for equipment and funding of the airline.
“This is also another cost passed on. So really, we must look at the entire cost. The problem in the aviation sector is the cost structure. This cost structure is what is passed on to the passenger.”
He highlighted high fuel costs, noting, “We pay 17% more for fuel charges, and fuel constitutes over 40% of the operating cost of an airline. Airport revenues are partly remitted to the Federal Government, leaving only 50% to provide essential services, which leads operators to levy even higher charges on airlines, and ultimately passengers.”
“The problem in the aviation sector is the cost structure. These costs are passed on to the passenger. If we lower fares, we improve connectivity. The entire industry must re-examine this structure,” he said.
On ongoing discussions with the Minister of Aviation and other agencies, Nwuba said, “A lot of people have said that in the last two years or thereabouts, the minister, Festus Keyamo, has not done badly. But… we are engaging the minister at the Aviation Safety Roundtable and other agencies on cost-related issues.”
He also emphasised the need to reduce charges passed to passengers that are higher than in other African countries.
“We operate a free market system… no matter what the airline costs are, the airport costs are, service provider costs are, they’re all borne by the passenger. The airlines are not subsidising the operations for the operators,” he said.
Calling for reform of revenue allocation, he added, “The revenues that come to the airports and the agencies should be left in the agencies… we must re-look at the whole structure of our charging structure, and then… we can lower fares.”
He concluded that addressing these issues would improve airline connectivity and affordability across the country.
Similarly, PUNCH Online had earlier reported that United Nigeria Airlines Chairman, Obiora Okonkwo, warned that excessive taxes and high financing costs are “killing and suffocating” Nigerian airlines, making regional flights uncompetitive.
He noted that passengers pay “about $100 before the ticket,” while operators face interest rates above 30%.
He urged government intervention to cut charges and support airlines with single-digit loans.

She further called on stakeholders to strengthen institutions to enhance citizens’ participation while leveraging technology to fight corruption.
The District Director for the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) said there was the need to establish a task force to support policy reform, noting that it was a crucial step towards a corruption-free Ghana.
Participants at the event took turns to pledge to work together to tackle corruption and promote a culture of integrity among institutions in the country.

‘Yolo’ is an Afrobeats anthem meant to reignite the artist’s passion for music
The rapper’s second release of the year, ‘Yolo,’ is a humble declaration that promises a reborn Kwesi Slay with deeper artistic resolve.
Everyone still remembers ‘Seven,’ the viral Hip-Hop classic featuring Kwesi Arthur, that marked the arrival of Bernard Kwesi Appiah, aka Kwesi Slay, as a new voice of the streets in 2018.
Interestingly, seven years have passed since then, with explosive collaborations with Medikal (‘Frass’), Quamina MP (‘Pussy Cat’), and Kuami Eugene (‘Follow Me’) paving the way for the Ashiaman-bred rapper to join Ghana’s rap elite.
An abrupt, long silence followed, one that was broken with the Afro-Soul brilliance of ‘Tuutu Doo.’ But it seems silence was the artist’s loudest form of preparation. “I needed to disconnect to realign,” Kwesi Slay reveals.
“My break was a period of recalibration and creative rebirth. I needed a break to gather strength to come back stronger. Through it all, I’ve lived, grown, and now, I’m ready to speak again, louder than ever before.”
Enter ‘Yolo,’ an Afrobeats anthem meant to reignite the artist’s passion for music. This upbeat track is centered on the universal truth: you only live once.
Or as Kwesi Slay plainly puts it: “How you dey live today? Nobody dey care. If you die today? Nobody dey care.” Beneath its joyous presentation, however, are lyrics that cut deep. Kwesi Slay’s words, though introspective, are a reminder to live life to the fullest.
According to the artist, his latest track seals his comeback following his break from music. “‘Yolo’ isn’t about reclaiming fame. It is about representing my truth and that of every dreamer who had to pause at one point to gather strength to keep going.”
Kwesi Slay also used the opportunity to confirm upcoming collaborations with both Ghanaian and international talents, a possible headline tour, and a multi-track project set to release later this year.
With a solid production, deep introspection, and a relatable premise, ‘Yolo’ signals Kwesi Slay’s renewed ambition.

Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is consolidating his projected strong support in the Eastern Region with a strong campaign endorsements.
Bawumia, who has been campaigning in the Eastern Region all week, has had a number of MPs and party stalwarts from the region giving him firm support with their presence, and on Friday, November 28, 2025, in Akuapem, another set of electoral coordinators, also joined the growing number of coordinators who have endorsed the former Vice President.
During his campaign tour, 29 out of 31 Electoral Area Coordinators of the Akuapem North Constituency publicly declared their unflinching support for Dr. Bawumia, and vowed to work very hard for him to ensure victory for him in the NPP Primaries.
“All of us here are electoral area coordinators. We are 29 out of 31 and we have dedicated ourselves to work for you to win,” the group’s leader said, flanked by the 29 coordinators.
“No one has coerced us to declare for you. As soon as you confirmed you’ll run again and picked your nomination forms, we decided we will support you.”

The group urged Dr Bawumia not to give, but remain optimistic for the future, assuring him of their desire to work very hard for him.
“We want to encourage you that all is not lost. As for records, they are there to be broken. In 2016, after Mahama lost by about 1 million votes, many people thought that was the end for him. But by God’s plan, he came back and won to be Preaident . So we are saying that you will also break that record in 2028.”
“We work with the polling station executives so just as we have demonstrated our support for you here, it will be the same down there too. We assure you of our firm support and commitment to work very hard for you to ensure that you are victorious.”
The coordinators noted that, to ensure their declaration for Dr Bawumia was authentic and unanimous, all 29 of the coordinators had signed the declaration, which they gave copies to Dr. Bawumia and the Chairman of the Constituency.
UP’s Solomon Owusu, Accra Mayor Micheal Allotey share fond memories of Nana Konadu
Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Keta in the Volta Region, Wisdom Seade, has urged the public to prioritise local food production to help boost the agricultural sector and enhance productivity.
He said the Assembly had various strategies for transforming the sector in the municipality, including the showcasing of the importance of climate-smart agriculture and investment in storage facilities, value addition, and agro-processing.
He was speaking during the 41st Municipal Farmers’ Day celebration at Hatorgodo.
“We are all aware that agriculture is a key sector in the country. It provides livelihoods for many citizens. However, the sector faces challenges such as climate change, limited access to credit, and poor infrastructure. And the government is poised to solve all these challenges to promote the sector as well,” he noted.
The MCE stated that to address the challenges, the farmers should embrace climate-smart agriculture practices, invest in storage facilities, and add value to agricultural products through processing and packaging.
He explained the potential of youth in agriculture and agribusiness, which highlighted their roles as game changers in transforming the sector and noted that empowering young people to engage in agriculture could help achieve sustainable food security and economic growth.
“There are many opportunities for youth in agriculture, including primary production, value addition through agro-processing, and service provision in logistics and digital agriculture from the government through the municipal assembly.”
Seade noted that there were barriers that discouraged youth from pursuing agriculture as a career, which included limited access to land, credit, training, and ready markets, and to address the challenges, interventions such as youth-focused training, affordable start-up grants, access to land, cooperative models, and incubation hubs for agribusiness startups would be implemented.
He charged young people to view agriculture as a frontier of opportunity, while committing to invest in the next generation of farmers and agripreneurs for a prosperous and food-secure future in the Keta Municipality.
Seade said local farm produce like okro, pepper, onion, leafy vegetables, fishes among others, were of high quality and nutritious and could provide a healthy life for all.
The University of Cape Coast (UCC) Governing Council has announced that Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong’s tenure as Vice-Chancellor officially ended on September 18, 2025, in line with the Constitution of Ghana and the University Statutes.
The decision was made during the Council’s 124th Regular Meeting on November 27, 2025, following a comprehensive review of Prof. Boampong’s appointment.
In a statement signed by Council Secretary Gideon Enoch Abbeyquaye Esq., the Council said the review considered the discontinuance of the case John Mevemeo v. University of Cape Coast and Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, as well as a directive from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission regarding the mandatory retirement age of 60.
The Council concluded that the two-year extension of Prof. Boampong’s term was inconsistent with the 1992 Constitution. Consequently, his second term officially ended on the date he reached the compulsory retirement age.
“To ensure compliance, Council has revised the end of his second term to 18th September, 2025 (the date on which he attained 60 years),” the statement read.
The Governing Council further clarified that the revised tenure supersedes any prior notices regarding the extension of his term, bringing it fully in line with university regulations and the Constitution.
Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s rising momentum in the NPP Primaries campaign continued on Friday with a number of e dorsements for him in constituencies across the Eastern Region.
Bawumia, who has already had a number of open endorsements from key stakeholders in almost every region he has visited, is again consolidating his strong support in the Eastern Region, where he has been touring since Monday, and has already had significant endorsements form MPs, current executives, parliamentary candidates, former appointees and executives, as well as the party’s grassroot executives.
On Friday, November 28, 2025, Bawumia toured the Akuapem enclave of the Eastern Region, and the wave of support for him was not different from most of the other constituencies he has visited so far in the region.
In all three constituencies, the constituency, speaking in moods they said reflected the popular will of their people, endorsed Dr. Bawumia as the most formidable and most marketed of all the aspirants to lead the NPP to victory in 2028.
In Akuapem South, Chairman Dankwa Peter Addo endorsed the former Vice President, and in Akuapem North and Okere, their constituency chairmen, Omane Mensah Bonso and Justice Yaw Mensah respectively, eulogised Dr Bawumia as they endorsed him and assured him of their respective constituencies’ resolve to vote for him to Co to ie as the NPP’s flagbearer for the 2028 election.
In another major boost for Dr Bawumia, former Okere member of Parliament, Brandford Kwame Daniel Adu, also openly endorsed Dr. Bawumia, as he urged the constituents to remain solidly behind him.
While constituency executives endorsed him, Dr Bawumia was also showed massive support by the grassroot with electric receptions in all the constituencies.
In Akuapem North, for instance, 29 out of 31 electoral area coordinators openly declared support for Bawumia and vowed to work very hard for him to ensure that he wins the NPP Primaries in January 2026.
“We work with the polling station executives so just as we have demonstrated our support for you here, it will be the same down there too. We assure you of our firm support and commitment to work very hard for you to ensure that you are victorious.”
L-R: Vincent Assafuah, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, and Alban Bagbin
On Tuesday, November 29, 2025, the word “tsobo” sparked debates in Parliament during the 2026 Budget debate.
Parliamentarians are sometimes known to use colorful and dramatic expressions that are deemed unparliamentary to emphasise their arguments. As such, the use of “tsobo,” a slang term in Ghanaian parlance, by the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, was not taken lightly by the Majority side.
NDC is ready for the re-run in Kpandai, so the NPP better prepare too – Dafeamekpor
During proceedings, Assafuah accused the government of inflating the prices of sanitary pads, referring to them as a ‘tsobo’ government.
He argued that although the Ministry of Finance had earlier announced a drastic reduction in prices, the figures presented in the 2026 Budget appeared to show inflation instead.
In response, the Majority Chief Whip, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, strongly objected to his colleague’s use of the word “tsobo,” describing it as unparliamentary. He called for the term to be expunged from the Hansard.
On a lighter note, amid the stir, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, who appeared not to understand the meaning of the word “tsobo,” sought clarification.
His confusion and attempt to grasp its meaning threw the chamber into a fit of laughter among some lawmakers.
Read the conversation that ensued in Parliament below:
Assafuah: Mr Speaker, the Ministry of Finance posted this on their Facebook wall. They said that sanitary pads have reduced from GH¢25 to GH¢15. According to their own words, if indeed a sanitary pad is now GH¢15, why are they now accounting to the people of Ghana that one sanitary pad is GH¢45? This is a tsobo government.
Dafeamekpor: Mr Speaker, I rise in pursuance of Order 123(1), content of speech. The Honorable Assafuah refers to the government as tsobo government. Mr Speaker, that is very unparliamentary.
Bagbin: Sorry, I didn’t hear the statement.
Dafeamekpor: Mr Speaker, you may not have heard it, but it has gone into the Hansard. Mr Speaker, the Honorable Member, as part of his commentary, said the NDC government is a tsobo government. Mr Speaker, that is unparliamentary. You can say so on radio, but in this House, that language is not permissible, and so, Mr Speaker, I am seeking your guidance that that portion of the speech be expunged. Mr Speaker, thank you.
Bagbin: Are you mentioning the word T-O-G-O? Did you say Togo government?
Dafeamekpor: Mr Speaker, not Togo. He said tsobo.
Bagbin: Choco? Choco.
Dafeamekpor: Tsobo. C-H-O-B-O or T-S-O-B-O.
Bagbin: Honorable Member, please, did you say the government is tsobo government?
Assafuah: Mr Speaker, precisely so.
Bagbin: What does that mean?
Assafuah: Mr Speaker, that means that 6.6 million pads that we could have used GH¢99 million, they are using GH¢292 million to buy. More than three times of the amount.
Bagbin: Please, the meaning of tsobo government.
Minority blasts Bagbin, Ayariga; demands immediate withdrawal of contempt petition against Afenyo-Markin
Assafuah: Mr Speaker, it means wasteful. You can also say that there is no value for money.
Dafeamekpor: Mr Speaker, not at all. Mr Speaker, it is a strict expression for fleecing somebody. When you are fleecing somebody, that is the phrase we use that you are taking tsobo from the person. You are fleecing the person, and that is what he is suggesting.
Bagbin: Honorable Members, these are words I don’t know which language, but I don’t understand the meaning of tsobo at all, and particularly the spelling, I am told either it is C-H-O-B-O or C-H-O-G-O or whatever. I don’t know.

Stephen Atubiga reflects on his encounters with late Nana Konadu
The Uganda Revenue Authority has impounded a Fuso truck carrying 10 tons of smuggled wheat flour
The Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has impounded a Fuso truck carrying 10 tons of smuggled wheat flour from Kenya, according to officials, who say this is part of a growing wave of illicit trade across the eastern border.
Monitor has learned from URA sources that more than 100 tons of smuggled wheat flour have been intercepted in the last quarter alone as smugglers exploit the region’s vast and porous borderlines.
The eastern Uganda-Kenya border stretches over 800 kilometres, with long, unmanned and informal crossing points that make surveillance difficult.
URA officials say smugglers have taken full advantage of these weaknesses, often using remote routes to sneak goods into the country.
Mr Moses Wanjala Owino, the URA Manager for Enforcement and Border Control in the eastern region, confirmed that the truck, registration number UAV 196P, was impounded on Friday in Kapchorwa.
“It was smuggling wheat flour from the Kapchorwa side, and it had over 10 tons of wheat flour. When you look at our statistics, in the last quarter alone, we have intercepted wheat flour in excess of 100 tons that was trying to come in illegally through different borders,” Mr Wanjala said.
He added that the vast, unprotected border terrain continues to frustrate enforcement efforts.
“Our border is porous from Lake Victoria to Karamoja. All those areas lack a natural barrier, such as a river cutting through, and this poses a significant challenge. There is also hostility from some border communities that disrupts our teams in trying to enforce the law. They don’t use gazetted border points; most times they pass via ungazetted routes that are not manned,” he said.
Mr Wanjala noted that wheat flour is not the only commodity being smuggled into Uganda.
“Besides wheat, the other items smuggled in large quantities include rice, garments, and, of late, mobile phones,” he said.
Despite the challenges, he insisted that URA will continue to fight smuggling aggressively, describing it as a serious threat to Uganda’s economy.
“Smuggling brings unfair competition, where people who have smuggled goods compete with someone who is paying taxes. It distorts the market and affects the operation of local industries that cannot produce at full capacity,” he said.
Local business owners say the impact has already been devastating.
Mr James Opolot, who runs a hardware retail shop in Malaba, warned that traders may be forced out of business altogether if authorities do not curb the influx of illegal goods.
“Currently, cement from Kenya is being ferried directly to construction sites, leaving us without customers, especially in the porous points in Buteba Sub-county in Busia District,” he said.
He added that his daily sales have dropped drastically.
“Initially, on good days, I would make sales of at worst 200 bags, but currently I hardly sell even 10 bags in a day,” he said.
In Namisindwa District, businessman Mr Amos Mafabi said smugglers use a wide range of transport methods—including bicycles, motorcycles, and vans—to move goods such as wheat flour, rice, and cement.
“For example, a bicycle boda boda can carry three 50kg bags of cement, a motorcycle can carry five, and vans can load as many as they can. This has to stop,” he said.
Former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini, has condemned Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin for publicly accusing judges of serving the interests of political “paymasters,” saying the comments scandalised both the lawmaker and the legal profession.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, Fuseini, himself a lawyer, said Afenyo-Markin should have followed proper legal channels rather than attacking the judiciary in public.
Kadjebi (O/R), Nov. 29, GNA – The campaign team of New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential-hopeful, Mr Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, will begin a three-day tour of the Oti Region from December 1 to 3, as part of efforts to engage delegates ahead of the Party’s presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.
Mr Hayford Obeng, the Oti Regional Campaign Coordinator of Mr Agyapong, who disclosed this in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said preparations for the visit were “well advanced,” and the team was expecting a massive reception in all constituencies earmarked for the tour.
He said the first day of the tour, Monday, December 1, would take Mr Agyapong to the Guan, Buem and Biakoye Constituencies, where he is expected to meet delegates, party faithful and local opinion leaders to outline his vision for the NPP and the country.
According to him, the enthusiasm ahead of the visit was encouraging, as many residents including non-delegates had expressed admiration for Mr Agyapong’s leadership style and were hopeful of seeing him lead the party into the 2028 general elections.
On Tuesday, December 2, the campaign train will make stops in the Krachi East, Krachi West, and Krachi Nchumuru Constituencies. There, Mr Agyapong is expected to continue his message of party unity, discipline, economic restructuring, and youth empowerment.
The tour will climax on Wednesday, December 3, with interactions in the Nkwanta North, Nkwanta South and Akan Constituencies.
Mr Obeng noted that the final day of the regional tour would consolidate the team’s grassroots mobilisation efforts and strengthen support for the aspirant across the Oti Region.
He urged delegates and sympathisers to turn out in their numbers to welcome Mr Agyapong, emphasising that their engagement and feedback were vital to the campaign’s success.
Mr Obeng described Mr Agyapong as “the only hope for the party going into the 2028 elections,” adding that delegates must make what he called “the right choice” during the January 2026 primaries by voting for a leader who is “fearless, principled, and committed to the welfare of the ordinary Ghanaian.”
Mr Agyapong, former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, is contesting the NPP flagbearership alongside Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Vice-President; Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, former Minister of Education; Dr Bryan Acheampong, former Minister of Food and Agriculture; and Mr Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, former Press Secretary to former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
The nationwide tour forms part of efforts by the various aspirants to secure the mandate of NPP delegates ahead of the 2026 internal elections.
Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to take urgent action on Ghana’s rising unemployment, describing it as a threat to national stability.
Speaking at the 59th Congregation of KNUST on Saturday, November 29, the Asantehene also reiterated his appeal to the German government to support and invest in Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana.
“We are all aware of the unemployment situation in this nation. It was on that basis that I raised the issue when the German President and Ambassador paid a courtesy call on me last month,” he said.
“I wish to reiterate my appeal to the German Government to support small and medium-scale industries. Unemployment is a major issue in the country. It is a national concern, and the President should take a keen interest in this critical issue,” he added.
The Asantehene further urged the government to address inadequate staffing at KNUST by providing funds for the recruitment of additional personnel.
“Confronting this university is the issue of inadequate staffing. As the recent five-year cyclical review of our university by the Ghana Education Commission, I am told that the challenge of our unfavourable student-to-lecturer ratio was brought sharply into focus. The situation places a heavy strain on our educated, dedicated lecturers and threatens the quality of teaching and learning we provide,” he noted.
“I therefore appeal to the government to grant the necessary financial clearance for the recruitment of additional academic and administrative staff,” he concluded.

A short video of Lionel Messi’s young son, Ciro Messi, playing football has sparked a wave of excitement on social media, with fans quick to draw comparisons between father and son.
In the clip, the youngster deftly dribbles past two defenders before calmly slotting the ball into the net, demonstrating a composure and footballing intelligence that belies his age.
Observers have noted striking similarities between Ciro and his legendary father. His movement off the ball, awareness of space, and ability to anticipate defenders’ actions suggest an innate understanding of the game, qualities that made Lionel Messi one of the greatest to ever play.
Even at such a young age, Ciro appears to read the game instinctively, showing a calmness and vision often associated with seasoned professionals.

Fans are already speculating about the potential trajectory of his footballing career. While it is early days, Ciro’s technique, balance, and finishing ability suggest he could inherit not just his father’s flair, but also his deadly efficiency in front of goal.
The natural talent displayed in the video has created a sense of anticipation: could the next generation of football greatness be emerging before our eyes?
While comparisons to Lionel Messi are inevitable, experts and enthusiasts alike stress patience. The young boy has time to grow, develop, and make his own mark.
However, the ease and fluidity with which he navigates the pitch have left many imagining a future where the Messi legacy continues seamlessly from father to son.

President Bola Tinubu has welcomed Nigeria’s election into the Council of the International Maritime Organisation for the 2026–2027 biennium, calling it “a strong affirmation of the country’s growing maritime influence and its constructive role in global shipping governance.”
The election, which saw Nigeria re-elected into Category C of the IMO Council, took place during the organisation’s General Assembly in London on Friday, November 28, marking the country’s return to the global maritime decision-making table after a 14-year absence.
In a statement released by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Saturday, Tinubu said the development “reflects the international community’s confidence in the nation’s commitment to safety, security, environmental stewardship, and rules-based maritime operations.”
He applauded the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, the staff of the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, and Nigeria’s diplomatic team for their dedication, strategic engagement, and professionalism throughout the election process.
On the significance of Nigeria’s return to the IMO Council, the President said, “The new IMO Council mandate aligns with my administration’s drive to unlock the full potential of Nigeria’s blue economy, expand maritime infrastructure, strengthen anti-piracy initiatives, and improve the nation’s standing as a regional shipping hub.”
He further assured the global maritime community of Nigeria’s readiness to partner in promoting “safer seas, cleaner oceans, more efficient maritime transport systems, and to champion cooperation, innovation, and fairness in global maritime regulation.”
Tinubu thanked member states for their support, pledging that “Nigeria will justify the trust reposed in it through sustained leadership and active contribution to the advancement of international maritime objectives.”
With this election, Nigeria joins 19 other nations in Category C, reserved for countries with special interests in maritime transport and navigation, solidifying its status as an emerging naval hub on the continent.
The return to the IMO Council is expected to enhance Nigeria’s profile in maritime governance, strengthen international partnerships, boost investor confidence, and advance the blue economy.
Oyetola described the win as “a landmark endorsement of the renewed confidence the world has in Nigeria under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” highlighting over 12 months of intensive diplomatic engagements that secured the victory.
“We have earned the world’s confidence. Now we must deepen our reforms, strengthen our institutions, and ensure that Nigeria takes its rightful place as a leading maritime nation,” Oyetola said.

Olusegun Obasanjo is a former president of Nigeria
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has rejected calls for negotiations with bandits, insisting that Nigeria must take decisive action and embrace international assistance to confront escalating insecurity.
Obasanjo, who spoke at the Plateau State Unity Christmas Carol and Praise Festival held in Jos, the state capital, on Friday, asked the Federal Government to stop apologising and negotiating with terrorists.
His position comes amid escalating killings, abductions, and other attacks on several communities in the North in recent weeks.
On November 21, a total of 315 students and 13 teachers were abducted from St Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri, Niger State.
The abduction came after the terrorists kidnapped 26 schoolgirls at the Government Girls Secondary School, Maga, in Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, on November 17.
In the latest assault, bandits struck the Palaita community, Erena Ward, Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State, abducting 24 people, including pregnant women, from a rice farm.
About 20 people were also abducted by bandits in Kano and Kwara between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
The development comes barely 24 hours after 38 worshippers abducted from the Christ Apostolic Church, Oke-Isegun, Eruku, Ikere, Kwara State, on November 18, were released after the Federal Government negotiated with their abductors.
In the Tuesday attack, 10 persons, including a pregnant woman, nursing mothers, and children, were reportedly seized in the Isapa community, a few kilometres from Eruku, Kwara State.
Speaking at the Jos event, Obasanjo expressed displeasure over the rising insecurity, saying Nigerians have the right to seek foreign intervention to cover for what he described as the government’s failure to protect its citizens.
“No matter what religion you belong to. No matter where you come from. No matter your profession, we Nigerians are being killed, and our government seems to be incapable of protecting us.
“We are part of the world community. If our government cannot do it, we have the right to call on the international community to do for us what our government cannot do for us,” he said.
Obasanjo maintained that, unlike during his time in office, modern technology has made it easier to flush out terrorists from their hideouts.
The former President said, “Before I left the government, I knew we had the capacity to pick up anybody in Nigeria who commits a crime anywhere. The capacity we didn’t have then was that, after identifying and locating such a criminal, we couldn’t apprehend him without moving on land or by air.”
“Now we have capacity. With drones, we can outfit them. You can take them out. Why are we not doing that? Why are we apologising? Why are we negotiating?”
Former Member of Parliament(MP) for Tamale Central and former Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini, has urged Ghanaians to respect the historical purpose and identity of mission schools amid the ongoing debate over religious practices at Wesley Girls’ High School.
Speaking on the matter on Newsfile, Mr Fuseini sought to correct what he described as distortions surrounding the involvement of mission schools in education.
Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has taken on some private legal practitioners who take up cases involving lands belonging to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in court.
He expressed worry that some lawyers fail to properly assess cases brought before them by individuals presenting themselves as heads of families and claiming ownership of lands belonging to KNUST.
The Asantehene, some five years ago, issued a stern warning to individuals encroaching on lands belonging to the University, but he noted that some are still being recalcitrant.
Speaking at the 59th Congregation of KNUST, he warned that any encroachment on KNUST lands will not be tolerated, cautioning individuals with such intentions to desist or risk decisive action being taken against them.
“Barely five years ago, in this very room, I issued a solemn and unequivocal warning against any encroachment upon the lands of KNUST. However, I have received reports indicating that some recalcitrant people continue to test our resolve. Let me therefore say again, with absolute clarity and without equivocation, any encroachment upon KNUST lands will not be tolerated.
Unfortunately, they get some lawyers to take these matters to court when they know that it shouldn’t be so. Especially when people present themselves as Abusuapanin and claim it is their family lands, when it is not like that. And yet lawyers, by their profession, take it to court to defend this, which is wrong. They have been educated, and they know that this is also an educational institution,” he said.
The Ministry of the Interior has declared Friday, December 5, a statutory public holiday.
In a statement, the Minister, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, said the day is to be observed nationwide as Farmers’ Day.
Farmers’ Day, celebrated annually on the first Friday of December, recognises the immense contributions of Ghana’s farmers and fishers to national development, food security, and economic growth.
This year’s celebration is being held under the theme “Eat Ghana, Grow Ghana, Secure the Future.”
The Ministry urged the public to observe the day appropriately and in line with its significance.

Clockwise: Mfantsipim, Wesley Girls’, Adisadel College, and Accra High
Second-cycle educational institutions, or senior high schools, are monumental in shaping the lives of Ghanaians, giving many something to brag about throughout their lives.
Whether in Cape Coast or in Accra, these five venerable schools have stood the test of time, shaping generations of Ghana’s leaders, thinkers, and change-makers to this day.
Here are the five oldest senior high schools in Ghana
1. Mfantsipim School (1876)
Established in 1876 by the Wesleyan (Methodist) Church, Mfantsipim SHS, formerly known as Wesleyan High School, is an all-boys boarding secondary school in Cape Coast in the Central region of Ghana.
Often referred to simply as “The School”, Mfantsipim holds the distinction of being the oldest second-cycle institution in Ghana, at 149 years old in 2025.
2. Wesley Girls’ High School (1884)
Also known as ”Wey Gey Hey,” this girls-only boarding school in Cape Coast was established in 1884 by the wife of a Methodist minister with just 25 girls at Cape Coast.
Currently 141 years old, Wesley Girls SHS is regarded as one of the top schools in Ghana.

3. Ghana Secondary Technical School (1909)
Located in Takoradi, GSTS is a science and technical education-based school founded in 1909, making it 116 years old in 2025.
4. Adisadel College (1910)
Adisadel, popularly known as ‘ADISCO,’ is an Anglican all-boys’ boarding school in Cape Coast.
Established in 1910, the school is often ranked among the top secondary schools in Ghana and boasts of a wide range of notable individuals as its alumni.
5. Accra High School (1923)
Located in Accra, Ghana, and founded by Rev James Thomas Robert, Accra High (AHISCO) is also the oldest senior high school in the Greater Accra Region and the fifth oldest school in Ghana.
This mixed school was established in the year 1923, making it 102 years old in 2025.
Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s bid to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the 2028 elections continues to gather steam, with constituency executives and grassroots leaders in the Eastern Region offering a new wave of endorsements during his regional tour.
Dr Bawumia, who has been touring the region since Monday, has already secured public backing from MPs, former appointees, parliamentary candidates, and party executives.
His campaign received another major boost on Friday as leaders across the Akuapem enclave declared their support.
In Akuapem South, Constituency Chairman Dankwa Peter Addo openly endorsed the former Vice President. Similar endorsements followed in Akuapem North and Okere, where constituency chairmen Omane Mensah Bonso and Justice Yaw Mensah described Dr Bawumia as the most “marketable” and “formidable” aspirant capable of leading the party to victory in 2028.
The show of support extended beyond current executives. Former Okere MP, Brandford Kwame Daniel Adu, also declared his support, urging party faithful in the area to stand firmly behind Dr Bawumia in the lead-up to the January 2026 primaries.
Grassroots endorsement was equally strong. In Akuapem North, 29 out of 31 electoral area coordinators publicly pledged allegiance to Dr Bawumia, promising to mobilise polling station executives in his favour.
“We work with the polling station executives, so just as we have demonstrated our support for you here, it will be the same down there, too,” the coordinators assured. “We commit to working very hard to ensure that you are victorious.”
Dr Bawumia’s team described the receptions across the constituencies as “electric,” pointing to what they say is a reflection of the former Vice President’s broad appeal within the party’s rank-and-file.

Member of Parliament for Effia, Isaac Boamah-Nyarko, has cautioned that escalating the debate surrounding the Wesley Girls’ Senior High School religious rights case could heighten unnecessary tensions between faith groups, stressing that no student should ever be pressured to change their beliefs.
His comments come after the Supreme Court directed Wesley Girls’ SHS to formally respond to a suit filed by private legal practitioner Shafic Osman, who alleges that the school restricts Muslim students from practising aspects of their faith.
The case has renewed national conversation about religious tolerance and the extent to which schools can or should accommodate diverse beliefs.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Big Issue on Saturday, November 29, Mr. Boamah-Nyarko warned that the public discourse risks creating a false impression of deep religious divisions in the country.
“We are not in crisis in terms of religious tolerance. When we overstretch on one or two of these matters, it creates unnecessary confusion as if there is a religious battle or matter between Christians and Muslims,” he said.
He further stressed that the core mandate of schools is academic development, not religious enforcement, and therefore no institution should adopt practices that compel students to abandon or modify their faith.
“Children are in school fundamentally to be trained academically. No school should put in place a mechanism to compel anybody to switch their faith,” he added.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday, November 25, instructed Wesley Girls’ SHS to respond within 14 days to allegations that it prevents Muslim students from practising their religion—the central issue in the suit filed by Osman. The school is expected to clarify its religious policies and justify any restrictions placed on Muslim students, if such practices exist.
Meanwhile, Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has reiterated that no student in Ghana should be barred from practising their chosen religion, insisting that the rights of all learners must be upheld regardless of their faith.
The Gbetsile Circuit Court presided over by Mrs Eleanor Kakra Banes Botchway has found two policemen guilty of unlawful possession of narcotic drugs for trafficking and convicted them cumulatively to 30 years imprisonment.
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Nasiru Amadu and No. 51836 G/CPL Emmanuel Mintah, who in 2023 had been charged with conspiracy to commit crime to wit unlawful possession of narcotic drugs for trafficking contrary to sections 23(1) of the Criminal Offences Act 1960 and unlawful possession of narcotic drugs for trafficking contrary to section 37(2)(b) of the Narcotic Control Commission Act 2020 (1019), were found guilty on Friday November 28, 2025
President John Dramani Mahama captured during an address
Ladies and gentlemen, compatriots, and defenders of Ghana’s progress,
Eagle Eye International confronts a growing and alarming pattern, one that strikes at the very heart of national development, public welfare, and institutional stability. It is a trend unfolding under the leadership of HE John Dramani Mahama, and it is threatening essential services that millions of Ghanaians rely on every day.
It started with the abrupt termination of the school placement contract, a system that, despite its challenges, supported transparency and efficiency in the school admissions process. Instead of President Mahama strengthening, improving, and or enforcing accountability, he (through the Education Minister) chose the easiest and most destructive route: cancel the contract and leave chaos in its place. Indeed, the chaotic scenes, frustration, and disappointments were embarrassing to say the least.
Then came the termination of the Lightwave Health Information Management System (LHIMS) contract by the Ministry of Health. LHIMS, a system designed to modernise health information management, reduce paperwork, eliminate fraud, and streamline patient care, was simply scrapped. No tested working alternative. No transition plan. No consultation with health professionals. Just another reckless cancellation that put health delivery at risk and threw hospitals into confusion. As we speak, health facilities do not have records or history of patients, no medical records to trace for diagnosis, forcing facilities to resort to the manual folder system.
As if the above indecisive decisions are not enough, then bam, comes the tragically, shockingly, irresponsibly life-killing one; the shutdown of Zipline’s medical delivery operations, one of Ghana’s most innovative life-saving technologies.
Zipline has served our rural communities faithfully by delivering blood, essential medicines, vaccines, and emergency supplies to the remotest corners of our country. It has saved mothers during childbirth, stabilised accident victims, supported CHPS compounds, and strengthened our national health supply chain.
Yet, instead of celebrating innovation, preserving a system that has delivered tens of thousands of emergency medical payloads, and instead of protecting rural lives, the Mahama government appears to be following a disturbing agenda: terminate, cancel, dismantle, and disrupt.
Please, is HE John Dramani Mahama not aware of the adverse consequences of his indecisive decision to terminate the Zipliine contract?
Is this leadership? Is this how a government committed to healthcare treats rural Ghana? Are we witnessing a governance style built on personal vendetta, political spite, or an inability to sustain visionary initiatives started by previous administrations?
Eagle Eye International is asking, if every essential contract inherited from the previous government is being cancelled, what is being built, what is being replaced, and how many lives must be endangered before this reckless trend is stopped?
It is time to call this what it is: A contract termination agenda, driven by poor judgment and a lack of respect for continuity in national development. When policies that save lives are sacrificed on the altar of politics, it is not just systems that die, but also precious lives.
Let us be clear, shutting down Zipline is not just an administrative decision. It is a direct attack on rural healthcare, an assault on innovation, and a betrayal of the ordinary Ghanaian whose life depends on timely medical delivery.
But the most troubling concern is, why are the CSOs quiet? Are the churches and religious bodies in bed with or supporting these deadly and indiscreet decisions from the Mahama government? The silence of the clergy is a deep and strong cause to worry
Today, we say enough is enough. Ghanaians will not sit quietly while essential services are dismantled one by one. We reject this cancellation agenda, and we call on all well-meaning citizens to stand up for continuity, innovation, and the lives of our people.
From the look of the trend, Free SHS may be the next to be terminated.
Goodluck Jonathan is the former President of Nigeria
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has described the recent military takeover in Guinea-Bissau as more painful to him than his loss to former President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election.
Jonathan, who spoke in a video interview obtained by Saturday PUNCH, said the development was particularly troubling because of his long-standing involvement in restoring democracy to the West African country.
The former president had travelled to Guinea-Bissau as part of the West African Elders Forum to monitor the presidential and parliamentary elections.
But while observer missions from the African Union, Economic Community of West African States, and other bodies were still carrying out their duties, the military seized power.
The development left the former Bayelsa State governor and his team stranded and raised concerns over his safety.
Jonathan, who was later evacuated from Guinea-Bissau and arrived in Nigeria on Thursday, said the incident unsettled him.
He said, “What happened in Guinea-Bissau is quite disturbing to me, a person who believes in democracy. In fact, I feel more pain than the day I called Buhari to congratulate him when I lost the election as a sitting president.
“I have been quite particular about Guinea-Bissau. As a sitting president, then, Guinea-Bissau was in crisis. It started around 2012. In 2011, we had to go physically and work with them and make sure that the 2013 elections were conducted.”
He described the situation in Guinea-Bissau as bizarre, arguing that it did not fit the usual pattern of a military coup.
Jonathan said President Umaro Embaló’s early announcement of his own “arrest,” while still using his phone to speak to international media, raised questions about the credibility of the claim.
According to him, the Guinea-Bissau elections were peaceful as he cited reports from ECOWAS, AU, and other observer missions.
He expressed concern that while results were being collated, Embaló announced that a coup had taken place and that he had been detained, even though evidence suggested he was never arrested.

“It is painful for me that President Embaló was the one announcing a military takeover of the government. It is totally unacceptable.
“What happened in Guinea-Bissau, I would not call it a coup; it was not a coup. For lack of a better word, I will say it was a ceremonial coup because it was President Embaló who announced the coup before the military later came up to address the world that they were in charge of the government.
“Embaló had already announced that there was a coup, which is strange.
Not only announcing the coup, but Embaló, while the coup took place, was using his phone and addressing media organisations across the world that he had been arrested. I’m a Nigerian close to 70, and I know how they keep Heads of State when a coup takes place.
“They cannot be playing pranks; nobody should call others fools. There is no way there will be a military coup at a time when they were about to announce election results, and the president was the person who announced the coup. It doesn’t happen anywhere,” Jonathan said.
The former president advised against engaging the military in a battle to take back power and called on ECOWAS and the AU to release the full election results.
Jonathan also called for the release of the main opposition leader, Fernando Dias, from military custody, insisting that he did not commit any offence.
Recounting how he was evacuated, the former president said he was airlifted by the Ivorian government.
Jonathan explained that both Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire had made arrangements to send aircraft to evacuate him and his team, but the Ivorian government secured clearance ahead of Nigeria.
He noted that Côte d’Ivoire’s proximity to Guinea-Bissau, coupled with the traditional ties between francophone and lusophone countries, made it easier for them to obtain a landing permit more quickly.
He said the Ivorian aircraft was already en route when Nigeria finally received approval to deploy its own plane.
According to him, once they were informed that the Nigerian aircraft was preparing to take off, his team advised Abuja not to proceed since the Ivorian plane was already close.
This, he added, was why he returned on an Ivorian aircraft, as seen in the photographs taken on his arrival.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has praised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia.
Alexander Afenyo-Markin revealed he respects Asiedu Nketia a lot despite their political disagreement.
According to Afenyo-Markin, after the 2016 elections, when President Mahama lost by one million votes, everyone thought that Mahama was done, but Asiedu Nketia charged through the storm when the party was in a mess to make him president again in 2024.

The Federal Republic of Somalia reiterated on Friday its support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over its entire territory, welcoming the adoption of Resolution 2797 by the UN Security Council.
During a bilateral meeting held in Rabat with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Somalia Abdisalam Abdi Ali reaffirmed his country’s steadfast stance in favor of Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over its entire territory.
In a Joint Communiqué inked following talks between the two ministers, Abdi Ali noted with deep satisfaction the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2797, which enshrines the autonomy plan presented by the Kingdom, within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty, as the basis for a just lasting resolution for a final solution.
During these discussions, Abdi Ali welcomed the Kingdom of Morocco’s serious and realistic efforts to put an end to this artificial regional dispute, expressing Somalia’s full support for the efforts of the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy for the Sahara.
For his part, Bourita reiterated Morocco’s gratitude towards the Federal Republic of Somalia for its vote in favor of Resolution 2797, adopted October 31, 2025 by the UN Security Council.
He also reaffirmed to his Somalian peer Morocco’s commitment and pledge to respect Somalia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over its entire territory.
Juaben (Ash), Nov. 29, GNA – Mrs Eunice Ansu Ohenewaa, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Juaben, has paid a working visit to Nana Abeyie Farms and Food Bank at Juaben, to assess the progress of the Nkoko Nketenkete Poultry Initiative.
The project aims to restore the poultry value chain, boost local production, enhance food security, and create jobs for youth across the country.
It is designed to bring poultry production directly to the doorstep of every Ghanaian in homes, schools, and communities across the country.
Under the initiative, vulnerable households will receive pullets and starter packs to initiate production, transforming subsistence into self-sustaining livelihoods.
During the visit, the MCE inspected the poultry units and hatchery facilities, commending the management for their hard work.
She assured them of the Assembly’s continuous support to expand the initiative and strengthen agribusiness within the Municipality.
Nana Abeyie, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Abeyie Farms and Food Bank, expressed gratitude for the support, noting that promises made during the general election campaign were becoming a reality.
He disclosed that 5,000-day-old chicks and 250kg of starter feed had been delivered.
Nana Abeyie encouraged young people to explore opportunities in agriculture, emphasising its potential for success and development.
The MCE was accompanied by Mr Adu Gyamfi, the Municipal Director of Agriculture, and some party executives.
Samuel Eto’o has been re-elected as President of FECAFOOT
Samuel Eto’o has secured another four-year term as President of the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT), extending his leadership with a decisive mandate that reinforces his grip on the Cameroonian football administration.
The elective General Assembly, held on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at the CAF Centre of Excellence in Mbankomo, delivered an outcome that surprised no one but spoke volumes about Eto’o’s influence and the confidence delegates continue to place in him.
Standing as the sole candidate for his own succession, the former Barcelona star and Indomitable Lions captain received 85 out of 87 votes, with two ballots declared invalid. The result gives him an extraordinary approval rate of 97.7%, reflecting the internal unity around his presidency.
Eto’o’s first term, which began in 2021, was marked by bold reforms, aggressive restructuring and an ambitious push to modernise football management across Cameroon. His tenure has attracted both praise and criticism, but the overwhelming vote suggests the FECAFOOT electoral college remains firmly behind his vision.
Why Ghana’s 1982 AFCON trophy was handed over in a hotel room
As he steps into a new term, expectations are high. Eto’o has consistently promised a stronger domestic league, improved infrastructure, increased opportunities for young players and tighter governance standards.
Supporters believe his international stature and network allow him to champion Cameroonian football on a global stage, while critics expect him to confront ongoing administrative disputes and performance challenges head-on.
With this renewed mandate, Samuel Eto’o now has another four years to accelerate his reforms, strengthen the national teams and deliver on the promise of a more competitive football ecosystem.

Ken Agyapong, Hassan Ayariga and Dr Steven Amoah share fond memories of Nana Konadu
Akosua Serwaa, the first wife of the late Ghanaian musician Daddy Lumba, has asked her legal counsel to appeal the High Court’s decision to make Odo Broni a legal wife.
William Kusi, the lawyer for Akosua Serwaa, stated that as a learned professional, he cannot align himself with decisions he described as scandalous.

Akosua Serwaa to appeal court ruling
In a viral video, the legal practitioner stated that after the court proceedings, Akosua Serwaa, who is based in Germany, instructed him to appeal the decision in a higher court.
He confirmed that the appeal would proceed once he receives the 70-plus-page judgment, expected on December 1, 2025.
“I am a learned person, and I can’t align myself with decisions which are scandalous and I cannot defend. I just spoke with my client, and she said we should appeal against it, and I agree with her. We will prosecute and appeal,” William Kusi stated.

Akosua Serwaa’s Lawyer Summarises Court Ruling
According to William Kusi’s summary of the court proceedings, the judge determined that the German marriage certificate between Akosua Serwaa and Daddy Lumba was insubstantial because it did not have both parties’ signatures.
The judge stated that appropriate documentation, not word of mouth, is the only method to prove a marriage in Germany.
“She said Akosua Serwaa was unable to prove that she married Lumba in Germany. In fact, she said something like, ‘As for marriage in Germany, it is proven by documents, so if someone claims by just word of mouth that they got married in Germany, it’s not enough unless there is documentation.’ She added that the documents we brought to court cannot be accepted because Akosua Serwaa’s and Lumba’s signatures are not in them,” he explained.
Court declares Akosua Serwaa’s marriage certificate as forged
Additionally, the attorney revealed that the judge made a statement in court implying that he and his client had used fake documents submitted as a marriage certificate. He characterised this as a shameful attack on his integrity.
On November 28, 2025, a Kumasi High Court declared that the two surviving spouses of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba are Akosua Serwaa and Priscila Ofori, also known as Odo Broni.
“The most scandalous part of her statement was that she said we only went to forge some documents to claim it is a certificate, which impugns our integrity as lawyers. To me, it’s scandalous,” he added.

Akosua Serwaa had asked the court to rule that she was the only wife still alive and the only one qualified for widowhood benefits.
Additionally, she requested an order prohibiting Odo Broni from claiming to be the musician’s wife and from being recognised as such by the head of the Ekuona family.
The evidence “fell short of Sections 136 and 161,” which require the plaintiff to present the original marriage certificate from the Bornheim Marriage Registry and the corresponding certification from the Ghana Embassy in Germany, according to the case’s presiding judge, Dorinda Smith Arthur. Rather, only an extract was given.
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has declared he will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries.
The US President, in his Thanksgiving message, wrote, “A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration.
Former Sekondi MP, Andrew Egyapa Mercer, has described as “far-fetched” the Tamale High Court’s decision to annul the entire 2024 parliamentary election in the Kpandai constituency, despite the petitioner raising concerns about only 41 polling stations.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, Mr. Mercer said the ruling raises serious questions about judicial consistency in electoral dispute resolution.
“For the petitioner to ask for the annulment of 41 polling stations where the issues actually took place, and for the court to annul the entire election and order a rerun of all 152 polling stations—amazing.
“You complain of 41 polling stations. Ordinarily, if I’m deciding based on the facts before me, I restrict myself to those facts. To go beyond that and invalidate the entire constituency is far-fetched,” he remarked.
He referenced the Supreme Court’s position in the 2012/2013 Presidential Election Petition—Nana Akufo-Addo vs. the Electoral Commission and John Mahama—where the Court stressed that votes cannot be invalidated merely because electoral officers failed to perform certain statutory duties.
“Based on that precedent, to invalidate the entirety of the votes in Kpandai because someone complained about 41 polling stations is difficult to accept,” he said. “If irregularities were established, it would have been reasonable for the court to annul those 41 polling stations and order a rerun there, not throw out the entire result.”
Mr. Mercer questioned the legal basis for extending the annulment beyond the specific polling stations the petitioner complained about.
“How would the remaining polling stations be tainted when evidence was only led on the 41? The rest were not even in issue,” he stressed.
The Tamale High Court, presided over by Justice Emmanuel Brew Plange, earlier this week annulled the 2024 parliamentary election in the Kpandai constituency and ordered a fresh poll within 30 days.
The case was brought by NDC candidate Daniel Nsala Wakpal, who alleged serious irregularities in 41 out of 152 polling stations, citing inconsistencies in Form 8A (pink sheets) that violated Regulations 39 and 43 of the Public Elections Regulations (CI 127).
The court concluded that the non-compliance “materially affected” the integrity of the vote and therefore ordered the Electoral Commission to conduct a rerun across the entire constituency, not just the disputed polling stations.

L-R: Vincent Assafuah, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, and Alban Bagbin
On Tuesday, November 29, 2025, the word “tsobo” sparked debates in Parliament during the 2026 Budget debate.
Parliamentarians are sometimes known to use colorful and dramatic expressions that are deemed unparliamentary to emphasise their arguments. As such, the use of “tsobo,” a slang term in Ghanaian parlance, by the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, was not taken lightly by the Majority side.
NDC is ready for the re-run in Kpandai, so the NPP better prepare too – Dafeamekpor
During proceedings, Assafuah accused the government of inflating the prices of sanitary pads, referring to them as a ‘tsobo’ government.
He argued that although the Ministry of Finance had earlier announced a drastic reduction in prices, the figures presented in the 2026 Budget appeared to show inflation instead.
In response, the Majority Chief Whip, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, strongly objected to his colleague’s use of the word “tsobo,” describing it as unparliamentary. He called for the term to be expunged from the Hansard.
On a lighter note, amid the stir, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, who appeared not to understand the meaning of the word “tsobo,” sought clarification.
His confusion and attempt to grasp its meaning threw the chamber into a fit of laughter among some lawmakers.
Read the conversation that ensued in Parliament below:
Assafuah: Mr Speaker, the Ministry of Finance posted this on their Facebook wall. They said that sanitary pads have reduced from GH¢25 to GH¢15. According to their own words, if indeed a sanitary pad is now GH¢15, why are they now accounting to the people of Ghana that one sanitary pad is GH¢45? This is a tsobo government.
Dafeamekpor: Mr Speaker, I rise in pursuance of Order 123(1), content of speech. The Honorable Assafuah refers to the government as tsobo government. Mr Speaker, that is very unparliamentary.
Bagbin: Sorry, I didn’t hear the statement.
Dafeamekpor: Mr Speaker, you may not have heard it, but it has gone into the Hansard. Mr Speaker, the Honorable Member, as part of his commentary, said the NDC government is a tsobo government. Mr Speaker, that is unparliamentary. You can say so on radio, but in this House, that language is not permissible, and so, Mr Speaker, I am seeking your guidance that that portion of the speech be expunged. Mr Speaker, thank you.
Bagbin: Are you mentioning the word T-O-G-O? Did you say Togo government?
Dafeamekpor: Mr Speaker, not Togo. He said tsobo.
Bagbin: Choco? Choco.
Dafeamekpor: Tsobo. C-H-O-B-O or T-S-O-B-O.
Bagbin: Honorable Member, please, did you say the government is tsobo government?
Assafuah: Mr Speaker, precisely so.
Bagbin: What does that mean?
Assafuah: Mr Speaker, that means that 6.6 million pads that we could have used GH¢99 million, they are using GH¢292 million to buy. More than three times of the amount.
Bagbin: Please, the meaning of tsobo government.
Minority blasts Bagbin, Ayariga; demands immediate withdrawal of contempt petition against Afenyo-Markin
Assafuah: Mr Speaker, it means wasteful. You can also say that there is no value for money.
Dafeamekpor: Mr Speaker, not at all. Mr Speaker, it is a strict expression for fleecing somebody. When you are fleecing somebody, that is the phrase we use that you are taking tsobo from the person. You are fleecing the person, and that is what he is suggesting.
Bagbin: Honorable Members, these are words I don’t know which language, but I don’t understand the meaning of tsobo at all, and particularly the spelling, I am told either it is C-H-O-B-O or C-H-O-G-O or whatever. I don’t know.

The campaign for the flagbearership position of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is heating up, with about two months to the party’s presidential primaries.

Lawyer Kusi, the lawyer for Daddy Lumba’s wife, Akosua Serwaa has disclosed that he has been receiving calls from international lawyers.
Lawyer Kusi in a viral video gave a blow-by-blow account of what happened in the court, before, and after the judgement.
He noted that, the judge treated their evidence with disrespect, but, accepted that of Priscilla Ofori also known as Odo Bronii, whose own evidence they think is questionable.
