On behalf of EXECO, Evans Yaw Dapaah, Oti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party extended his profound gratitude to the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his unprecedented history-making decision to settle for a man with a disability to the position of the Regional Minister of a new Region was a courageous act.

He told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that, they were not surprised that as a visionary leader, the President has risen to the occasion of bringing honour and respect to the people with disability.

It is said disability is not inability, the President has therefore given a dignified expression indeed and, in practice.

He called for total support from the traditional authorities, ethnic groups and the entire people of Oti as their illustrious son faces the vetting Committee to approve of the President's nominee.

Receiving the citation, Mr Makubu expressed his gratitude for the honour done to him. He explained that there is a need for the party to work hard toward 2024 elections and win many seats in the Region.
