The Volta regional Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Mawutor Agbavitor is is urging people of the region not to allow themselves to be swayed by the NPP and its flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's promises.Addressing a press conference in Ho, NDC indicated that, their opponents, the NPP, has never been committed to the development of the Volta region -citing several promises they made to the people of the Volta region in recent times but failed to fulfill.This comes after Dr Bawumia's five day tour of the Volta region which ended on Thursday, 24 October, 2024."Let me start by stating that Alhaji Bavumia has, as typical of him, failed to offer any solid,actionable message or concrete plans tailored to the expectations of the people of the Volta Region.
This is in stark contrast to former President John Dramani Mahama, who has consistently demonstrated his commitment to the people of this region.""Featuring in H.E John Mahama's vision, he has laid out a comprehensive plan that includes the revitalization of the Juapong Textiles Factory, the establishment of satellite UHAS campuses in Keta and Battor, the development of the Keta-Denu-Ho and Eastern Corridor roads, and the provision of essential infrastructure like water supply, a military hospital, a quaternary hospital, and a modern market in Aflao," Mr Agbavitor added.He stressed that promises made by the NDC Flagbearer are practical projects specifically aimed at improving the lives of the people in the Volta region.He went further to urge voters in the region to ignore the NPP and Dr Bawumia who he claims have been on a deceptive campaign to sway voters across the region."Alhaji Bawumia has given no such assurance.
He made a vague promise to construct a sea defense wall in Ketu South, yet this critical project is notably absent from his party's manifesto.
If Alhaji Bawumia were genuinely committed to protecting our coastal communities from tidal waves, he would have ensured this project was prioritized.""Alhaji Bawumia's indifference to the plight of tidal wave victims is evident; he has never shown up to offer comfort to those affected.
