The Twafohene of Nkaseim Nana Sarfo Kantanka, has on behalf of the Chiefs and people of Nkaseim and Ahafo, commended President Akufo-Addo for ensuring that their over 40-year wait for a region is over.
Speaking at a durbar of Chiefs and people of Nkaseim in the Asutifi South Constituency during the visit of Dr. Bawumia on Tuesday, Nana Sarfo Kantanka said, for over 40 years, Ahafoman had unsuccessfully pursued successive governments for a region to be created for Ahafo, until the emergence of Nana Akufo-Addo.
“Our elders started this search for an Ahafo Region 40 years ago. This vision was hatched here in Nkaseim but it didn’t materialize. Since then, governments have come and gone, and we were not successful until Akufo-Addo came,” the Chief said.
“Our elders, the Divisional Council here in Nkaseim met again when President Akufo-Addo was elected and decided that we should go and see President Akufo-Addo if he can do something for us. So we organized Nananom and truly, Nana Akufo-Addo has lived by his words to us.”
“You accepted our request and you honoured your promise and that has given Ahafo a region,” the Chief said, referring to the President.
“Ahafoman, we express our gratitude to the President. We are grateful to Akufo-Addo and the government for what they have done for us.”
