We will reward Mahama – Akwamu Traditional Council

The acting president of the Akwamu Traditional Council, Osuogyasono Yaw Boadu IV has reiterated his endorsement of the presidential candidate of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), President John Mahama.

Reacting to the barrage of criticisms he has had following his earlier appraisal of the president, he said the Traditional Council supports any government who brings them development.

President Mahama, according to him, brought unparalleled development to his jurisdiction hence his earlier endorsement is in the right direction.

“We support any government in power but the good relationship that this government has established between us when the time comes, we will remember him,” he declared on Monday when the Eastern regional Minister, Mavis Ama Frimpong addressed supporters of the party at Akwamu after she visited the area to inspect the washed away part of the Akwamu to Atimpoku road.

“We want quality education and Development…Osarfo Marfo and Adjei Marfo are siblings but are in different political parties, NPP and NDC respectively but we have not heard them fight, so I want people of Akwamu to take a lesson from it. If you are in Party A and someone is in Party B, you are not enemies instead just political opponent so stop insulting me,” he added.

He thus on behalf of the Akwamu, Anum and Boso Traditional areas declared their support to the President Mahama for its second term bid, threatening to perform rituals to delete photos of the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo from the ballot papers on voting day.

His statement was met with barrage of condemnation contained in a statement issued and signed by the Krontihene of Akwamu Traditional area, Nana Aware Akowua, dissociating the Traditional Council from the comments made by the Acting President stating that, the council do not engage in partisan politics.

Ironically, during the tour of the opposition leader, Nana Akufo Addo, the Krontihene, on behalf of the Akwamu Traditional council, promised to vote massively for Nana Akufo Addo and the NPP in the December polls.???
