President Akufo-Addo has disclosed that he deliberately neglected the needs of the people of Ekumfi because they voted the NPP candidate for the area, Francis Kingsley Ato Codjoe, out in the 2020 elections.
During a meeting with traditional leaders in the constituency, the President candidly shared his disappointment with the Ekumfi Chiefs, revealing that the electoral defeat of his preferred candidate prompted a reduction in his engagement with the constituency.
L“Ato Cudjoe who was the MP for the area. I made him a deputy minister so that through that he would initiate development projects in the area but it didn’t last. During the subsequent election, he was voted out and these all accounted for my neglect for the area,” he stated.
Despite the disappointment, President Akufo-Addo assured the Chiefs that he will resume engagement with the constituency following their courtesy call.
“But once you’re here, I’ve heard what you’ve said,” he added.
