Western north: Mr Pious Vincent Abekah, the Western North Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has presented brand new Toyota Voxy vehicles to some constituencies for commercial use to generate income to run the activities of the party in the region.
According to Ghana News Agency, the gesture was in fulfilment of a campaign promise Mr Abekah made to constituency executives during the Regional Executive Election last month. The Bia East, Juaboso, and Aowin Constituencies officially received their vehicles on the first day of the distribution exercise, with others expected to receive theirs in the coming days.
Mr Abekah, speaking after the official presentation, explained that the motive was to make the constituencies self-reliant, secure the welfare of members, support the party's social programmes, and ensure the constituencies were financially independent. He emphasized that the vehicles would help generate adequate resources to manage the party effectively.
He criticized the current government for failing to deliver on their promises to Ghanaians, asserting that the NPP, led by Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is the only party capable of rescuing Ghanaians from mismanagement. Mr Abekah expressed surprise over the government's decision to reduce the producer price of cocoa, a move he claims has impoverished cocoa farmers and their dependants.
The Regional Chairman also urged party members to remain united and work diligently to bring the NPP back to power in the 2028 general election. Mr Isaac Asamoah Boadu, the NPP Sefwi-Wiawso Constituency Chairman, speaking on behalf of his colleagues, commended the Regional Chairman for the initiative, noting that it would help raise sufficient funds for the day-to-day operations of the party in the constituencies. He pledged to make good use of the vehicles to serve the intended purpose.
