The Berekum Traditional Council has symbolically handed the key to Berekum to Vice President and flag bearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
In a move which demonstrates their absolute support for Dr. Bawumia’s Presidential bid, the Berekum Traditional Council, while welcoming Dr. Bawumia to Berekum Friday morning, gave the NPP flag bearer all access to the community, signifying the Council’s continuous support to him and the NPP.
“We have handed over the key to Berekum to you,” Osabarima Yeboah Datteh II, acting President of the Council told Bawumia.
Welcoming Dr. Bawumia, he commended the NPP flag bearer for his impact as Vice President, as well as his vision, which he intends to implement as President.
“You have not been President before but you have done a lot. As President, I believe you’ll do a lot. I urge the people to support you because I believe that if you are supported, you will do a lot for us and the country,” he said.
The chief also expressed gratitude to the NPP for the support it has offered Berekum.
“Berekum is very grateful to the NPP government for the development it has brought to us.’
“You look at the market that has been built and also our main roads, which have been tarred. We are very fortunate because not every town has such opportunities. Berekum is very grateful.
“Berekum and your party are like twins. Always, we vote for you and I am confident the people will continue to support you because of what you bring on board,” he added.
He also pleaded on the Vice President to see to the completion of the Berekum Town roads if he becomes President.
The Vice President assured them of his support if he becomes President, promising to continue with the works of former President John kufuor and Akufo-Addo.
