He emphasized his commitment to inclusive governance, stating that his leadership will rely on active engagement with all sectors of the district.
“To our revered chiefs and elders, I will seek your counsel regularly. Assembly members, I will work closely with you. To the youth, your energy and creativity will be harnessed. And to the women of Bongo, your voices will be heard and respected,” he said.
Abaa also promised that his doors will remain open to all residents, regardless of political affiliation, background, or social standing. He encouraged citizens to bring forward their concerns and suggestions to help drive development across the district.
Meanwhile, the Paramount Chief of the Bongo Traditional Area, Naba Baba Salifu Atamale Alemyaarum, praised the confirmation of the DCE and urged continued unity within the district.
Naba Alemyaarum also called on the people of Bongo to support the campaign for the division of the constituency into two, arguing that it would accelerate development and better representation across all communities in the district.
