President Akufo Addo has called on his critics that claim he is not fulfilling the promises he made to the nation before he was elected to open their eyes and see what he has done.

The President was speaking at  a durbar at Tumu in the Upper West region that was organised to climax the Paari Gbiele festival.

He stated saying “Some traditional Jeremiahs who are saying you can’t do this, you can’t do this. They have been saying it all along that I can’t do this and I can’t do that. They should open their eyes. I am doing it all, one by one.”

Akufo Addo added that he was committed to developing every  part of the country and that he was on course to fulfilling all the programmes and projects he had promised the people of Ghana.

He said, “The commitment that I have made to the people of Ghana…and that we are going to witness a revival and a redevelopment are on course and our programme for government is on course.”

The paramount Chief of the Tumu traditional area, Kuoro Richard Babini Kanton appealed to the government to urgently address the deplorable road network in the area and revamp the Tumu Cotton ginnery to engage the teeming unemployed youth in the two Sissala districts.

The President further added that all the developments will be done without discrimination.

“It is important for us that as Ghana goes forward, and all the people of Ghana go forward together in unity, and in hope of a brighter future for our country” he said.

“Two other additional dams are under construction under the Sustainable Land and Water Management Project so it brings to a total 13 dams under construction here in Sissala East. I want to make the promise I made that, in my time, we are going to have all year farming in the Upper West, Upper East and all the northern sectors of our country. That is going to be one of the legacies I want to leave the people of Ghana, and we are on course to do that,” the President said.

He further assured the Paramount Chief that  work will begin soon on the cotton ginnery in Tumu.
