THIS IS A VISIONARY LEADER THAT GOD/ALLAH HIMSELF HAS CHOSEN TO LEAD GHANA TO THE PROMISE LAND. THIS IS THE REASON WHY I CALL HIM NEHEMIAH ADDO DANKWAH AKUFO-ADDO and surely he will take us to come out of AID with the dream word of GHANA BEYOND AID. May the almighty bless and give you more life with strength to deliver. Your opposition said you could never be a president of the land but you're performing greatly well, Kudos for WHO JAH BLESS NO ONE CURSE
NELERUGU IS NOT THE BIGGEST TOWN IN THE NEW NORTH EAST REGION BUT IS THE BEST FOR THE REGION AND GHANA'S DEVELOPMENT. ALL HAD TAUGHT IT WOULD BE WALEWARE. WALEWARE ON THE MAIN ROAD FROM TAMALE TO BOLGA AND NAVRONGO IS KNOWN TO MANY. THE CHOICE OF NALERUGU BECOMES THE BEST BECAUSE IT WOULD HELP TO EXTEND DEVELOPMENT TO THE EASTERN CORRIDOR LINKING BAWKU, NALERUGU, YENDI TO KETE KRACHI, DOWN TO KAJEBI, JIASIKAN AND HO. IT WILL BRING DEVELOPMENT TO MORE NEGLECTED PART OF GHANA. THE CHOICE OF NELERUGU IS A VERY STRONG INDICATION OF WHAT NANA ADDO MA DO IN OTHER PLACES. eG iN BONO EAST I SEE ATEBUBU TO BE MORE LIKELY. IT STAND THE CHANCE OF HELPING THE ENTIRE REGION THAN TECHIMAN, NKORANZA OR KINTAMPO WHICH ARE ALL LOCATED TOGETHER IN THE WEST OF THE NEW REGION. tHE ABOVE TOWNS ARE ALSO LOCATED AND WELL CONNECTED TO OTHER PLACES LIKE SUNYAN, WENCHI, KUMASI AND WOULD NOT NEED A REGIONAL CAPITAL IN ORDER TO GET GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE. ATEBUBU WOULD HELP TO DEVELOP TOWARDS AFRAM PLAINS AND OTHE MOST NEGLECTED PLACES IN THE CENTRAL EAST OF GHANA. IN THE SAME WAY KETE KRACHI AND KAJEBI STAND A GOOD CHANCE IN THE OTI REGION. DAMANGO HAS A STRONG PLACE FOR ITS LOCATION. AHAFO AND SEHWI HAVE THEIR OWN DYNAMICS
This man should have been the President earlier - A very visionary leader who does not renege on his promises. God Bless Prez Akufo Addo, God Bless Ghana our motherland and make us Great And Strong.
A capital without better food or accommodation to stay by workers. Who will be interested to be posted there?
They should have their one road regional capital. Sh333.
