As part of his four-day campaign tour of the Western Region, Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has inaugurated a GHC 2.2m water facility for the people of Esiama and its surrounding communities in the Ellembelle constituency.

It comes with 18 stand pipes, four pumps and an overhead tank.  He said “water is life and he who gives water gives life.”

It is for this reason that he advised the people of Ellembelle to vote massively for President John Dramani Mahama as President and Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, who is the Minister of Petroleum as their MP.

On the third day of his Western Regional campaign tour, Vice President Amissah-Arthur visited Tikobo Number One, Esiama and Axim in the Jomoro, Ellembelle and Evalue-Ajomoro-Gwira constituencies.

He received rapturous welcome, with the people calling him ‘akonta’ or brother-in-law because his wife, Matilda, hails from the area. Mr Amissah-Arthur addressed hundreds of enthusiastic NDC supporters in the three constituencies.

He introduced to the people the three parliamentary candidates of the NDC. They were Thomas Yankey -Jomoro, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah - Ellembelle and Kweku Tanikyi Kessie - Evalue-Ajomoro-Gwira. He said government is delivering on her social contract with the people by providing them with their critical infrastructural needs to boost their local economies.

The Vice President who is also the running mate to President Mahama said the president needs another term to continue with the country’s massive development.

He said President Mahama as the leader of the NDC has brought unity, peace, and tranquility to the party and the country as a whole. He added that the president is also tolerant of dissenting views.

He said same cannot be said of Nana Addo and his NPP. Therefore, a leader who cannot tolerate dissenting views and unite his party but rather divided it must be rejected by Ghanaians at the polls.

Mr. Amissah-Arthur said the NDC understands and live by the tenets of democracy and rule of law.

The Acting Chief of Esiama, Abusuapanyin Koran Gyeni, thanked government for giving the community its fair share of development. In view of this, he endorsed President Mahama and urged Ghanaians to vote massively for him for another term.
