Former President John Mahama has assured the chiefs and people of Awaso Asempaneye in the Bibiani- Anhwiaso-Bekwai district of his commitment to complete road projects and other infrastructure in the area should he be given a second chance as president.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer who began his ‘SpeakOut With John Mahama’ tour of the Western North Region on Tuesday is expected to tour the region for three days.
The former President assured the chiefs and people of the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai constituency that he will revive and complete especially the cocoa road projects which have been abandoned by the Akufo-Addo government.
“We began with the Cocoa roads, indeed, all the roads Nana mentioned, the Awaso Asempaneye town roads were part of the roads we were about to construct but when we lost power, all these roads have been abandoned.”
“All these roads will be constructed and all other works we started that we didn’t complete, we will complete them when I am voted for as president in the 2020 general elections.”
