He said: “Nana Addo during his campaigns was very emphatic on what he and the NPP want to do for Ghanaians and all of us were convinced that knowing who he is, he will surely deliver.

"I know with your able vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghana in four years time will be smiling I am not sure we(Ghanaians) will need to vote again because I know Nana Addo will deliver.

"The Talensi traditional council is ready to work with you as the president of the republic of Ghana. Indeed we are prepared to work with you excessively to satisfy the needs of people in accordance with  your vision. I know that, your promise for dams will not evade us as am sure of a number of dams in the Talensi area.

"I already know that you have plans for the Pwalugu tomato factory which is within my traditional area and am sure by the end of the  4 years that factory will be up and running to create jobs for the youth”.
