Kwabena Agyepong Emphasizes Religious Tolerance as Key to National Peace

ADAKLU ABUADI: The peace currently enjoyed in the country is rooted in religious tolerance, according to Mr. Kwabena Agyepong, a Senior Aide of the Dr. Bawumia Campaign team. During a campaign event in the Adaklu constituency, Mr. Agyepong praised Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), for his inclusive approach in reaching out to all segments of Ghanaian society. According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Agyepong made these remarks when Dr. Bawumia met with chiefs, religious, and traditional leaders as part of his campaign tour of the Volta region. He urged those campaigning on religious lines to refrain from actions that could lead to national division and unrest. Mr. Agyepong described Dr. Bawumia as a unifier who connects with all religious bodies, including traditionalists, to sustain the nation's peace. Mr. Agyepong highlighted several development initiatives introduced by the NPP government, such as the free Senior High School program, the Ghana card, the digital address sys tem, the School Feeding Programme, and the National Health Insurance Scheme. He called on Ghanaians to vote decisively for Dr. Bawumia to ensure the continuation of these initiatives. Togbe Gbogbi Atsa V, President of the Adaklu Traditional Council, welcomed Dr. Bawumia and his team. In his address, he urged political leaders and their followers to maintain peace through their actions and words during the election period. Togbe Gbogbi praised the NPP government for its efforts and appealed for similar attention to be paid to the Adaklu region. He reminded the government of an outstanding promise for a school bus for Adaklu Senior High School and highlighted the poor condition of local roads, which risk isolating communities if not addressed. Dr. Bawumia also introduced Mr. Bright Nyatsikor, the NPP's Parliamentary candidate for the constituency, and sought the support of local chiefs for his candidacy. The event was attended by Dr. Archibald Letsa, Volta Regional Minister, and other party officials. Dr. Baw umia's campaign tour in the region includes visits to multiple constituencies to engage with voters and discuss the government's achievements and ongoing challenges.
