The Ekumfi Traditional Council has called on President-elect John Dramani Mahama to ensure equal distribution of wealth among the people of the Central Region, particularly in Ekumfi. This appeal comes after Mahama’s overwhelming endorsement, which the council attributes to his respect for traditional authorities across Ghana.
Key Concerns and Recommendations
1. *Equal Distribution of Development*: The council urges Mahama to distribute development projects evenly across the country, including Ekumfi.
2. *Addressing Past Inequalities*: The council criticizes President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s comments suggesting that Ekumfi was denied development due to voting patterns in the 2020 Parliamentary elections.
3. *Recognition of Mahama’s Heritage*: The council recognizes Mahama as a son of the land, succeeding late President John Evans Atta Mills, and urges him to fulfill his mandate.
Odeefuor Akyin VIII, President of the Ekumfi Traditional Council, emphasized the importance of equitable development, stating that Mahama’s commitment to traditional authorities justifies his endorsement. The council’s appeal reflects the community’s expectations for inclusive growth and development under Mahama’s administration.
