Members of Amenfi Zongo community in the Western Region, could not hide their appreciation to Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for his kind gesture to them.

Dr. Bawumia was in the Amenfi Constituency as part of his campaign tour of the Western Region, and during his engagement with stakeholders, the Zongo community recalled with nostalgia how Dr. Bawumia once responded swiftly to their request to assist them renovate their mosque.

According to a spokesperson for the community, Dr. Bawumia visited them prior to the 2016 elections to seek their support, and when the NPP won and he became Vice President, he returned again to express gratitude to them in 2018.

It was during this visit, the spokesman recalled, that the then Zongo Chief, who he said has passed on, made a request to Bawumia, on behalf of the Zongo community, for support to renovate their mosque.

"A few days after he left, he sent someone to get the estimates for the project, and just a few weeks after submitting the estimates, he sent us the money to undertake the project, and today our mosque has been fully tiled and in a better shape because of your support," said the spokesperson of the Zongo community.

"I stand here on behalf of the Zongo community in Amenfi Municipal to express our immense gratitude to the Vice President for his kind gesture."

"It was the wish of our late Zongo Chief to meet you again to express our gratitude to you for your kind support but he is no more. That was his wish and since he is no more, we are doing that on his behalf and on our own behalf."

The Zongo community, while expressing their support to Dr. Bawumia, for his Presidential bid, also prayed for God's favours.

The Zongo community was well represented at the event with community leaders including Chiefs, Imams, elders and women.
