Osafo-Maafo’s seriousness in making Ghanaians Living Abroad an integral part of his policies was showcased over the weekend with the overwhelming support in Chicago purely emanating from people who hail from the various regions of Ghana .

A team of vibrant coordinators, some of who are in the academia was activated by Honourable Osafo-Maafo to meet with his overwhelming supporters in Chicago through a strategic door to door exercise prior to his coming to Chicago on the 6th of November, 2006. The team met with some chiefs, elders, businessmen, lawyers, professors, ordinary Ghanaians and the wife of the late former head of state of Ghana .

In Bolingbrook , one of the influential personalities in the Ghanaian community asked as to why the NPP’s presidential aspirants have not had any political debates since they all declared their intentions for the position of president despite Hon. Osafo Maafo’s frequent call for a debate among the Presidential aspirants. Kwaku Ampadu (PhD), a leading coordinator for the North American Campaign answered by saying that Honourable Osafo-Maafo, over the months has been calling for a political debate among the various presidential aspirants but his call has not been embraced by the other presidential aspirants.

All the supporters pledged their unflinching support in many ways for Osafo-Maafo’s bit to become the next president of Ghana .
