Tanko cautioned against internal divisions, particularly any “No” campaigns that could undermine the president’s authority. Instead, he called for unwavering loyalty, cooperation, and a shared commitment to the success of both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Mahama-led administration.
“For the sake of Ghana’s economy, I implore all Assemblymembers in the Volta Region to give President Mahama’s MMDCEs a one-touch victory,” Tanko stated. “The economic challenges we face demand strong and immediate leadership at the local level, and any delay in approving these nominees will only slow down the government’s ability to act decisively.”
He urged Assemblymembers to demonstrate patriotism and commitment to the Volta Region’s development by giving the nominees an overwhelming endorsement. “Our singular focus should be to ensure the success of President Mahama and the NDC. Ghana, under his visionary leadership, requires a seamless and efficient administration now more than ever.”
