Africa-Press – Ghana. Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on chiefs and residents of Nkwanta South to uphold peace as the bedrock for development.
Speaking during his “Thank You” tour of the Oti Region, he noted that recent conflicts had hampered progress and stressed that unity and harmony were essential to drive the area forward.
He announced that the government had earmarked funds for the rehabilitation of the Eastern Corridor Road, which would link Nkwanta South to southern Ghana and neighboring countries, opening up economic opportunities.
He also highlighted the upcoming Nkwanta‐Damanko and Nkwanta‐Dambai road projects, which he said would give a major boost to local commerce.
“Without peace,” he warned, “these initiatives risk being derailed, undermining President John Mahama’s national development agenda.”
He urged NDC supporters and all Ghanaians to back the policies of the NDC to sustain the party in power and to provide a peaceful environment for Mahama’s reset agenda.
Mr John Kwadwo Gyapong, Oti Regional Minister, praised the chiefs for maintaining calm and announced a six‐week amnesty on weapons surrendering at the Oti Regional Police Headquarters, after which unregistered, firearms would attract legal action.
