Speaking on behalf of the chiefs, the chief of Akroso Asukawkaw Traditional Area, Nana Odam Gyamfi III said, “all the Chiefs from Dambai to Asukawkaw support NPP. If some people have tagged us as being NPP sympathisers, then we might as well officially declare our stance and support for the party.”

According to him, “On behalf of the Chiefs of Dambai, I want to welcome you to Dambai, in Krachi East. The Chiefs of Dambai have been supporters of the Danquah-Dombo-Busia political tradition over years. The hope and love we have for the NPP is special. We want to tell him (Akufo-Addo) that all the Chiefs of Dambai are in full support of his candidature.”

Outlining the needs of his the people of Krachi East, Nana Odam Gyamfi III appealed to the NPP flagbearer, when he wins this year’s elections, to construct a District Hospital for Dambai, explaining that because of their perceived support for the NPP, they have been left out of the construction of the hospital.

“Again, parents are suffering. They can no longer afford to pay the fees of their wards, especially of those who have gained admission into nursing and teacher training institutions, because of the cancellation of the allowances. Nana, when you get into Jubilee House, please restore these allowances. When you do, I can assure that the NPP will be in office for a long time,” he stressed.

Just like the scenario presented to the NPP flagbearer in Biakoye, Nana Odam Gyamfi III lamented about the cessation of compensation payments to residents of Dambai, who as a result of the construction of the Volta Lake have lost their lands.

“NPP began the payments of the compensation to us. The late President Mills continued the payments, but, under President Mahama, it has stopped. We are appealing to you to, please, restore these payments to us when you get into office,” he said.

Nana Odam Gyamfi III assured Nana Akufo-Addo that “we are confident that change is coming. Your victory has already been sealed in Heaven. We pray for God’s strength, wisdom and guidance for you.”
