President John Mahama has asked the electorate to renew his mandate at the polls in order to complete projects he has started including the Eastern corridor road.
According to the President, the project which connects the North to the South through the Volta region will open the country and stimulate economic activities.
The project which has been ongoing for a while has stalled due to financial challenges.
However addressing a rally at Garu on his tour of the Upper East region, President Mahama assured the final phase of the project will be completed in his second term.
“I have come before you humbly to ask for your votes to be re-elected to continue the good work that we have started. All of us know the work that we have been doing over these 4 years. We started working on the Eastern corridor road project; we have done several segments of them. It’s left with the last segment from Nankpanduri to Kulungungu through Garu Tempane.”
He disclosed funding has been secured for that purpose and a contractor will soon move to site to commence work.
“As I speak we have done the design of that road and we have secured the funding to do that last segment. And so it’s necessary for us to have the extension of a 4-year tenure so that we can complete the road and open up the Eastern corridor right down from Kulungungu through Garu Tempane all the way to Nankpanduri , Yendi, Bimbilla, Oti Damanko to Nkwanta,” he disclosed.
Mr. Mahama went on the state that the Garu constituency has seen a lot of developmental projects under his leadership.
According to him, the constituency is the first to completely eradicate schools under trees.
The President also commended incumbent MP Dominic Azumah who lost the parliamentary primaries for supporting the NDC candidate for the constituency. He urged other losing aspirants who are going independent to take a cue.
President Mahama is on a 4-day campaign tour of the Upper East region after a similar exercise in the Upper West region last week.

Mr. President, prepare because in future I will take you to court for adandoning the NPP housing project. But let the people of Ghana be assured that the next government will not abandon uncompleted projects like the NDC did. All projects will be completed, so don't let Mahama intemidate you that the so called projects will be abandoned.
If governance is just by borrowing gargantuan monies before projects are completed, everybody is a potential president. As the head of the economic team under ex president Mills and as the substantive president, what is the state of the economy of Ghana? What was the debt stock before and after?
You said the Eastern corridor was completed. Ei My Man Mahama mema ha emahame.
We thought you said you had completed it. THE LIES ARE BEING EXPOSED! CHANGE IS COMING!
sorry, we are tired, the new government will continue. governance is not only about providing infrastructure with bloated contract sums.....
If that logic holds true then NPP should have been retained to complete all the housing, road, schools and other projects they started.
God forbid!!!! we need more matured and kindhearted person to be the president. mahama twaso koraa.
Why didnt u do that during ur 4years as vice and 4yrs as president, instead of telling us to retain u for jobs and our allowance u are thinking of toads, is it the roads that we go chop/chew or that will pay our bill sand school fees. You have to go so prepare
It wont happen. We are fed up with you go.
