Nana Ogyedom Appiah Kubi Pabo Katakye IV made this known at a durbar held in honour of President Akufo-Addo, on Friday, 12th April, in Sankore, at the commencement of the President’s 2-day tour of the newly-created Ahafo Region.
“You have done a lot in only two years. We have heard and have seen. Even if we are blind, we are not deaf. Continue on this path”, he told the President.
Touching on the creation of the Ahafo Region, he expressed the gratitude of the people, saying: “We said we wanted our own region, we had knocked on all doors, sent petitions to wherever it is required, way before I was born. But President came, checked the books and agreed with us that, indeed, we needed our own region. Only Akufo-Addo will do this for us. We are grateful”.
President, Akufo-Addo, on his part, said the cycle of politically-related acts of violence and vigilantism that occurs in Sankore, in the Asunafo South Constituency of the Ahafo Region, is soon coming to an end.
According to him, the Vigilantism and Related Offences Bill, which is currently before Parliament, when passed, should deal effectively with the worrying phenomenon of vigilantism not only in Sankore, but in all parts of the country.
