The former President John Dramani Mahama has pleaded with the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs to inform President Akufo-Addo that the E-blocks standing untouched across the region since the NPP administration, has become a disgrace to Ghana’s reputation
The former President who was on a ‘THANK YOU TOUR’ to appreciate the people of the Upper East Region for their wonderful support during the 2020 general election made the plea to the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs on Tuesday, August 17, 2021.
“Governance is supposed to be a continuum and so when a government takes over from the other, it continuous what the previous government was doing. When I came into office, as best as I could the projects that we had inherited from the preceding government we tried to continue them”.
Some we concluded, others we move to another level so that another government will come and continue and so I will urge that you continue to urge on this president that the E-blocks that are standing, they are a disgrace to our national reputation.
“You are the moral voices of our society. You should continue to draw government’s attention to taxpayer’s money that is being wasted by the numerous abandoned projects that we have in your traditional areas”.
“Because, as I have said before it is not my Education Minister who was my running mate in 2020 Naana Opoku Agyeman who financed them out of her pocket, or it wasn’t me who financed that project from my pocket it was the taxpayer’s money, your money and my money that we used to put up this blocks”
However, the President of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs Pe Dituudini Adiana Ayagitam III who doubles as the paramount chief for the Chiana Traditional Area during his speech described the former President as an ‘epitome’ of peace especially with his posture of calming down growing tensions across the country after the result declaration and during the 2020 election petition.
The Upper East Regional House of Chiefs was grateful for the appreciation shown by the former President John Dramani Mahama especially by choosing Upper East Region first as he embarked on his Thank You Tour journey across other regions
