The Omanhene of the Banda Traditional Council, Nana Sekyemme Sinapem II has applauded the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) for consistently supporting the people of Banda.
The Banda Constituency, in the Bono Region, has since its creation in 2012, traditionally voted for the NDC, but welcoming Dr. Bawumia to the Constituency on Sunday, on behalf of the Banda Traditional Council, the Omanhene praised the NPP Government, under the governments of President John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo, for giving the Constituency all of its major projects.
Nana Sinapem II said all major projects of the Banda Constituency over the years happened through the
“If we are here today, we are here wholeheartedly to support you so that our community will see more development,” said the Omanhene, who also spoke highly of the efforts of the NPP Parliamentary Candidate Joe Dankwa. From the administration of President Kufuor, the Omanhene recounted several projects the NPP has brought to the constituency. Sometime back we requested the realization of the Bui power project, which Kwame Nkrumah planned to do but could not do because he was overthrown. We pursued it through the then government but it did not happen despite chasing it for some time. In fact one of the leaders then, a Deputy Minister of Agric, even told us he had brought a new breed of cassava plant so we should rather plant the cassava, which he said was better than pursuing the Bui Dam,” the Omanhene recalled. Fortunately, President Kufuor came and we told him about it and it materialized. So we had the Bui Dam project right here by the NPP, under the government of Kufuor which opened up this place.”
Nana Sinapem II, also mentioned other major projects in the constituency by the NPP, such as the electrification project and the constituency’s first tarred road, which he said were done by the NPP under President Kufuor.
He continued that the NPP, under President Akufo-Addo, also expanded the Bui project by adding solar energy to the Bui Dam, as well as the construction of roads, durbar grounds and astroturf, all by the Akufo-Addo government.

Dr. Bawumia thanked the Traditional Council for their encouragement and assured them that he would work very hard to implement the policies he shared with them and be accountable to them and Ghanaians. He added he would be back to seek their mandate again “by the grace of God.”

The NPP flagbearer also made a campaign stop at Tain, where he interacted with traditional leaders, Muslim clerics, Christian clergy and other opinion leaders as he unboxed his ‘Bold Solutions For Ghana’ to the electorate.

Still in Tain, Dr. Bawumia and his team were also hosted by the Chiefs and people of Badu.
