A/R Will Get Its Fair Share Of Development -Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama yesterday joined the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and Asanteman to observe the first Akwasidae festival of the year.

It is the first public festival the president is attending, since he was sworn in on January 7, 2025.

Nananom Amanhene, Abrempong and the entire Asanteman Council welcomed the President to the grand durbar at the Manhyia Palace, presided over by the Asasntehene, Opemsuo Osei Tutu II.

Addressing the durbar, President Mahama promised to complete uncompleted projects in Ashanti region, mentioning the Serwua Regional Hospital.

He assured Otumfuo that the road leading to the hospital would be worked on, whilst electricity would also be extended to the place, to quickly open the hospital.

He also said the Afari Military hospital would be completed.

President Mahama disabused the minds of those who think that Ashanti Region is not a strong hold of the NDC and that to him the NDC had a lot of votes from the region and promised that Ashanti Region would have its fair share of the National Cake.

President Mahama also promised to team up with Otumfuo for the restoration of the economy.

Last December, shortly after Mr. Mahama was re-elected, he assured that he would be guided by the Asantehene’s blueprint documentation for the Developmental of the Ashanti Region.

The Manhyia visit is also part of the President’s engagement with traditional rulers, as part of efforts to resolve the unending Bawku Conflict.

He intends to deliberate on the Bawku issue with the Asantehene, since the late Yagbonwura and Otumfuo were the ones who solved the Dagbon problem.

Earlier on Sunday morning, the President had worshipped with the congregation of Ebenezer Miracle Worship Centre, headed by Rev. Ebenezer Opambuor Adarkwa Yiadom, at Ahenema Kokoben, near Kumasi.
