The Adaklu Constituency of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has sent a congratulatory message to Mr Governs Kwame Agbodza, the Member of Parliament of the area, on his nomination as the Minister of Roads and Highways.
President John Dramani Mahama nominated Mr Agbodza on Thursday, January 16, 2025.
“Your nomination is well deserved,” the congratulatory message, signed by Mr Hayford Amenuvie, Constituency Secretary, copied to the Ghana News Agency at Adaklu Waya, said on Saturday.
It noted that Mr Agbodza’s tireless efforts in ensuring development, employment opportunities for the youth through apprenticeship, and driving progressive initiatives in the constituency had not gone unnoticed.
“Your dedication, passion and commitment to the welfare of the people are truly inspiring,” the statement said.
It expressed the confidence that he would bring the same level of enthusiasm and expertise to his new role as the Roads and Highways Minister if confirmed.
“We wish you strength, wisdom and success as you embark on this new journey and look forward to the positive impact you will make in bringing more development projects to the constituency, Volta Region and Ghana at large.”
Mr Jerry Ameko, the Adaklu Constituency NDC Chairman, told the GNA that he was optimistic that Mr Agbodza would perform to the expectation of Ghanaians and make the party proud.
He admitted that some of the road networks in the country were bad but pleaded with Ghanaians to exercise restraint on their demands as the government worked to fix them.
Mr Ameko commended the people for voting massively for the party and assured them of more development projects under the President Mahama-led government.
Meanwhile Tsiami Kpotaka, the linguist of Togbe Lablulu Tegbeza IV of Adaklu Waya, led some chiefs to the Party office at Adaklu Waya to thank the gods for the nomination of Mr Agbodza as the Minister designate for Roads and Highways.
They poured libation to the gods and asked for their protection over the nominee on his new role.
They thanked President Mahama for making good his promise to them during his campaign tour of the area to make Mr Agbodza a minister if he won the election.
Mr Agbodza, if confirmed, will be the second person from Adaklu to head the Roads and Highways Ministry in the fourth Republic.
The first person was the late Steve Akorli who was appointed in 2000 during the tenure of Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings.
