The Berekum Traditional Council has symbolically handed the key to Berekum to Vice President and NPP flagbearer, 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 flagbearer all access to the community, which he said, will continue to back the New Patriotic Party and Dr. Bawumia.
Welcoming Dr. Bawumia, Osaberima commended Dr. Bawumia for his impact as Vice President and vision for Ghana if he becomes President.
"We have handed over the key to Berekum to you...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", Osaberima Yeboah Datteh II, acting President of the Council, told Bawumia.
The Council expressed their gratitude to the NPP saying "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."
On behalf of the Council, the Chief appealed to Dr. Bawumia to see to the completion of their roads when he becomes President.
Dr. Bawumia also thanked the Council for their warm reception and encouragement and assured them that he will continue the good works of his predecessors, President J.A Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo respectively.
