"Nana, you have done a lot. Nana, you have done well. Your contribution to education is unparalleled. The number of children who have had the chance to get secondary education. How can we forget? We know that it's constitutional for you to leave, otherwise, we would have wanted you to stay in office.

"Let's talk about roads. The long travel distances that we would travel have been cut short. Otherwise, the body pains we experienced were tough," one of the chiefs said.
