Your Excellency, we want to state without any reservation that you are a great and visionary leader and by your sterling leadership you have changed the face of leadership in Ghana. We see in you a competent and compassionate president.
Just this morning, we heard that a survey conducted by an international media network in Asia ranks Ghana as the first country in Africa and the third in the world as far as combating the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigating its impact is concerned. We are proud of you Your Excellency”

He also noted some benefits they have received in education as he said; “The 12-classroom started by the previous government in each of the Senior High Schools are at now at the stage of completion. Another 12-classroom block has been awarded with ultra-modern water closet toilet facility.
“Again, the construction of 40-unit market stall with 20-seater ultra-modern toilet each has been awarded in Afife and Tadzevu markets, and work is progressing steadily. Contract for another six-unit classroom at the Afife RC School has been awarded. Several projects including Agoredeke School Block, maternity ward at Afife Health Centre have either been completed or are ongoing.” He added.
He further continued by reminding the President Why the enstooled him in 2016 under the name Dzigbodi-Dunenyo Fiaga . “Let me reiterate that the conviction that necessitated that enstoolment is your demonstration of love to this country of ours in spite of many bizzare and controversial situations you endured for the sake of the development of Ghana,”
“When you had reason to dispute the results of the 2016 general elections, for instance, you did not resort to arms and mutiny as we are seeing in other countries. You rather took your case before the Supreme Court of Ghana. And, even though you respectfully disagreed with the judgment of the Court, you peacefully and humbly respected the Court’s decision.”
“It is, for this reason, we chose the title, Dzigbordi-Dunenyo Fiaga meaning “King of Patience, Peace and Development.”
This has come in less than two months to Ghana’s general elections.
