Correspondence from Eastern Region:

The Chief of Akyem Akroso, Nana Kwabena Ofori Atta II, has lauded President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government for their exemplary governance, describing their achievements in just eight months as "unprecedented."

‎Nana Kwabena Ofori Atta II made these remarks when the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, paid a courtesy call on him at his palace in Akyem Akroso.

The visit formed part of Chairman Nketiah's three-day 'thank you' tour of the Eastern Region.

‎Expressing his admiration for the current administration, the Chief stated, "It is just eight months into power, but the work President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC have done is unprecedented. We have observed significant strides in various sectors, demonstrating truly good governance."

‎He highlighted the swift and impactful progress made, commending the government's dedication to national development within a relatively short period. Such high praise from a traditional leader is often seen as a significant endorsement, especially in regions considered politically diverse.

‎Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah's tour focuses on appreciating traditional leaders, party faithful, and the general electorate for their support, as well as strengthening the party's grassroots ahead of future political engagements.

‎While the specific projects or policies that triggered the Chief's commendation were not detailed in the immediate report, his strong words underscore a perceived positive impact of the Mahama-led administration in the Akyem Akroso area and potentially beyond.

‎The Eastern Region is a crucial political battleground, and such endorsements from influential traditional rulers are highly valued by political parties as they strategize for upcoming elections. The NDC's national leadership will undoubtedly welcome Nana Kwame Ofori Atta II's glowing assessment as a testament to their governance efforts.
