Speaking at the event, paramount chief of the area, Oblempong Nii Kojo Ababio, said the reason for honouring Nana Akufo-Addo with the stool was because of his sterling career as a human rights lawyer who stood for the rule of law and advocated for the rights of the ordinary Ghanaian.
The paramount chief advised the president to be impartial in the implementation of policies and programmes that will benefit every citizen of Ghana. Oblempong Nii Kojo Ababio also appealed to the President to expedite actions to turn Jamestown into a modern city in order to bring economic activity to the area.
