Traditional rulers in Akatsi have honoured Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for his significant contributions to Ghana's development during his tenure as Vice President.

Dr. Bawumia, who has been campaigning in the Volta Region since Sunday, visited Ave Havi in the Akatsi North Constituency on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.

Welcoming Dr. Bawumia, the traditional rulers praised his dedication and efforts in revolutionising public service in Ghana through digitalisation.

"We acknowledge his dedication to public service and his unwavering commitment to the country's progress, evident in his tireless efforts to drive economic growth, improve governance, and enhance the overall well-being of Ghanaians," said Torgbui Adogo Agbalekk, flanked by the Chiefs and queenmothers, in a speech on behalf of the traditional rulers.

"Under his leadership, Ghana has witnessed significant strides in digitalisation, revolutionising public services and enhancing efficiency."

The Akatsi Chiefs symbolically decorated Dr. Bawumia with customary green leaves around his neck, indicating their prayers and support for his Presidential bid.

"Your Excellency, we are grateful for your visit today and express our hope that the Supreme Being will continue to protect you and your team. We look forward to the possibility of your Presidency and hope our next meeting will be at Independence Square for your inauguration as the next President of the Republic of Ghana."

Vice President Bawumia expressed his appreciation to the traditional rulers for the honour, support, and prayers, which he said he would never forget.
