"I Ignored Ekumfi Because You Voted Against Ato Cudjoe As Mp' – Akufo-Addo Tells Chiefs

President Nana Akufo-Addo has “honestly” confessed that he took his mind off Ekumfi, in terms of developing the constituency, after they voted against his preferred parliamentary candidate Francis Ato Cudjoe in the 2020 elections.

According to President Akufo-Addo, despite appointing Ato Cudjoe as Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, he was voted out of parliament much to his chagrin.

Speaking in the Twi language at the Jubilee House during a call on him by the traditional leaders from the constituency, the President said to them plainly that he took his mind off Ekumfi following the ousting of Ato Cudjoe from parliament.

He said as a result of that, “I did not pay attention to development in your area, I have to be honest with you, but since you have brought it up, I will pay attention to it”.
