Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama has emphasised his commitment to partnering with chiefs and other traditional authorities to promote Ghana's rich heritage festivals.
These festivals, he said, are more than just celebrations; they are opportunities to promote cultural tourism, boost local economies, and showcase our heritage to the world. "By working closely with traditional leaders, we can enhance the visibility and impact of our festivals and benefit our communities," Mr Mahama said in a Facebook post after he visited the Ga Mantse's palace on Thursday November 28.
During the visit, he met with the Ga Traditional Council as part of my #Mahama4Change2024 campaign in the Greater Accra Region. "Thank you, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, your chiefs, queen mothers and opinion leaders.
The display of alluring tradition and culture and the insightful discussion with our traditional rulers reaffirmed the vital role that traditional authorities play in our society and the importance of fostering strong relationships with them. "During our discussions, I emphasised our commitment to partnering with chiefs and other traditional authorities to promote our rich heritage festivals.
