Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, New Patriotic Party(NPP) Presidential Hopeful, says his government will construct a landing beach project and name it after the late President John Evans Atta Mills.
He said the project, which has been on the drawing board over the years at Ekumfi Otuam would be built in the first year of office.
Another one at Ekumfi Narkwa will also be constructed to improve the livelihood of fishermen and fishmongers in the Ekumfi District.
Nana Addo gave the assurance when he addressed the chiefs, elders and Queen Mothers of at Ekumfi Otuam and Ekumfi Esuehyia as part of the five days tour of the Central Region.
The NPP Presidential Candidate warmly received Mr Essilfie Buckman, Ekumfi Constituency Chairman of NDC and his executives who have defected to the NPP and asked them to join forces together to win the elections.
According to Nana Addo, the projects are dear to his heart and NPP, adding that the delayed has affected the lives of people in the Ekumfi traditional Area and promised to construct them if Ghanaians voted NPP to power on December Polls.
Nana Addo stressed that the landing beach at Ekumfi Otuam would be constructed to honour the late Professor Mills who hailed from the town.
Nana Addo, as a sign of respect to late President Mills, asked the chiefs, elders and party supporters gathered at Otuam Methodist School Park rally ground to observe a minute of silence in memory of the late President.
He said:” May his soul rest perfectly in the bosom of God.”
Nana Addo gave the assurance that the people of Ekumfi Constituency and the Region as a whole should use their thumps to vote President John Dramani Mahama out of power.
He said the country was well endowed with abundance riches but yet Ghanaians were facing abject poverty due to bad mismanagement of national resources under the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government for the past eight years.
The NPP Presidential Candidate said the first National capital budget for 2017, a total of 275 million dollars would be allocated to each constituency for infrastructural development.
According to Nana Addo the one District one factory policy will never be abandoned as some political opponents have been saying to throw dust into the eyes.
