President John Mahama has endorsed the candidature of Obuobia Darko-Opoku as the National Democratic Congress parliamentary aspirant for the Weija-Gbawe constituency.
Mahama described the philanthropist as “industrious” and the best person who can spearhead development in the constituency as well as champion their interest in the House.
The former broadcaster has been conspicuous on the ground with developmental projects and donations through her Obuobia Foundation ever since she launched her bid for the second time to stand on the ticket of the governing party.
Last month, she donated an ambulance to the Ga South Municipal Hospital, after giving the same health facility a water storage system to aid in child delivery as well as the construction of bridges, boreholes and connecting some communities in the constituency to the national water pipelines among others.
Introducing Obuobia, who is the deputy Executive Secretary of the Ghana Freezones Board to a teeming crowd of NDC supporters at Mallam Junction, Mahama said he has been impressed with her dedication and passion to help humanity and has no doubt she will be a fine lawmaker.
Mahama, who is seeking a second term in office come the December 7 elections, opined he is convinced the electorate in Weija-Gbawe will vote massively for the NDC judging from how Obuobia has proven herself.
“I believe that with what we have done, we deserve a second term. We are taking the Weija-Gbawe constituency,” the president said about the ever-smiling MP-aspirant.
“Your parliamentary candidate has done a lot to win your votes. Look at the developmental projects she is fronting. What she has done are more than enough. I have no doubt she will over perform when she becomes an MP. Let’s give her our support because she’ll do things double, double. I have no doubt this year Weija-Gbawe will fall to the NDC party.
“Who wouldn’t be proud to have this beautiful woman as his MP? When you vote on December 7 for me, make sure you cast your ballot for Obuobia Darko-Opoku,” Mahama appealed.
Obuobia took to Facebook to express her gratitude to Mahama for gracing her campaign launch during his Greater Accra regional tour.
"I'm indeed grateful to him for making the Weija-Gbawe constituency a port of call on his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region. I promise to live up to this trust in me to represent the NDC in my constituency," she wrote.

No way for Obuobia in mallam. She go lose potoooooo
Suddenly this woman has all the money in the world for philanthropic work...akronfuo
surely Npp will retain that seat so she just have to compete with Bright on the ngleshie-kokrobite seat before they loose that seat too. Even the Gbawe road wasn't done by her as we were told. Someone who is not in government is rather doing it
if she is a real philatropist then tell her I will come to her this weekend with my request even though I don't vote in her constituency. Obuobia is trying all she can to come to power that is why JM gave her the ambulance to deliver in her name cos hse knows when she comes to power she will get our tax to chop. eeei JM's eyes and beautiful things, this one too u dey wan chop small or u started already....ab3n b3 bom
She did her best in 2012 with a little under 27000 votes but there is a gap of between 6-8000 NPP advantage votes. This figure cannot be wiped out in 4years.Despite the support she getting, the NPP will retain the seat.
JM paaa did u say if we vote for u we should remember to vote for obuobia? hahahaha cos of u koraa nti obuobia wont get our votes. Are we going to chop her beauty or what for u to tell us she is beautiful no wonder her 2nd son be ur........If this be the reason why she left radio gold then she better go back cos Tina go come with Nana. At first we were blinded cos we thought she was the one working on the mallam-bulemin road not knowing she got no idea about it but his people are spreading fake rumuours to praise her. She should go compete Bright at Ngleshie cos Tina is coming with Nana
