During a spirited gathering in the Savannah Region, the Member of Parliament for Yapei Kusawgu and Minister for Energy, Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, addressed enthusiastic supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) with a message of patience and unity.
The occasion was NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah’s thank-you tour on Thursday, May 14, where expectations for jobs and economic support ran high among party faithful.
Dr Jinapor, aware of the community’s hopes, acknowledged the pressing demands for employment and business opportunities. “I will plead with you to be patient with the government. We are barely two years in office. We know you need jobs, we know you need businesses,” he assured the crowd.
Highlighting the government’s commitment, Dr Jinapor shared recent initiatives aimed at supporting local farmers, including his personal funding for 2,000 bags of fertiliser and 2,000 bags of weedicides this year. “So please exercise patience for the party,” he urged, emphasizing that these measures are just the beginning of broader efforts to uplift livelihoods in the region.
But Dr Jinapor’s appeal wasn’t just for patience; it was also for peace and party unity. He cautioned against resorting to violence or divisive actions that could jeopardize the NDC’s political fortunes. “If we are sharing while in office, it is just a matter of time, everybody will get some, but when we use violence and it lands the party in opposition, it will be our loss,” he warned, underscoring the importance of solidarity.
Looking ahead, the Energy Minister reassured residents that the government is making preparations to provide pipe-borne water and improve local roads as part of ongoing development projects. Dr Jinapor’s story is one of hope, urging supporters to stand together and trust that their patience will be rewarded as the government’s initiatives take root.
