The Denkyira Traditional Council has expressed its absolute belief and confidence in Vice President and Flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,, in his bid to serve Ghana as President.
Welcoming Dr. Bawumia to Dunkwa on Offin, Wednesday during his campaign tour of the area, the Denkyira Traditional Council, in a speech read by Nana Kwame Nkrumah II, said, Dr. Bawumia has been blessed, and no one can destroy him.
“Who the Lord has blessed, no one can destroy,” said the Chiefs.
Rains fell in the town as Dr. Bawumia arrived, and the Traditional Council said it signalled enormous blessings to the town through Dr. Bawumia.
He said, “Your presence here is a blessing for all of us. The first sign of blessings you have brought to us is the rain. We have not seen the rains here for sometime now but today that you have been here, God has opened the heavens for the rains to fall to coincide with your visit, which is indeed a sign of blessings. It signifies victory.”
The Denkyira Traditional Council also commended Dr. Bawumia for his conduct and decency in the 2024 campaign.
“Since you were elected Flagbearer, we have noticed the decency in your communication. You do not insult. You are always talking about your policies and preaching against indecent comments,” they said.
“We have not heard you insult anyone since you started your campaign and this shows that indeed you are a man of wisdom who thinks deeply.”You are humble and you have lots of respect for the elderly and for everybody. May God bless you more,” they added.
The Chiefs used the opportunity to commend the Akufo-Addo government for doing a great job, including the implementation of Free SHS, which they said has brought relief to many homes in Denkyira.
Minister for Education Haruna Iddrisu has questioned why Ghana continues to import toothpicks despite having the resources to produce them locally.
Speaking in Parliament, Mr. Iddrisu, who previously served as Minister for Trade and Industry, said he feels ashamed that the country still depends on imports for such a basic product.
“I have been Minister for Trade and Industry before and I carry the shame. How come that in Ghana we cannot produce toothpicks and we have to import them?” he asked.
According to him, Ghana has enough resources to support local businesses to manufacture products such as toothpicks instead of relying on imports. He said the country should encourage private sector investment in manufacturing to create jobs and reduce dependence on foreign goods.
Mr. Iddrisu alleged that some people who received government support under private sector initiatives failed to use the funds for their intended purpose.
“If you want, Honorable Kojo, because you… I can’t go there. There are people who took money in the name of the private sector and said they were going to farm. That money never went to their farms. You know that,” he told Parliament.
On job creation, the Education Minister said he agreed with the views expressed by a colleague on the need to create more employment opportunities. However, he argued that the One District, One Factory (1D1F) programme did not provide the solution to Ghana’s employment challenges.
Mr. Iddrisu made the remarks during parliamentary proceedings while contributing to discussions on job creation and the country’s industrial development.

New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications officer, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has dismissed reports linking him to an alleged GH¢55 million case, insisting that no such issue was raised during his detention by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
In a Facebook post after his release from EOCO custody, Mr Aboagye stated that at no point during his detention was he questioned about any GH¢55 million.
“For the records: There was no discussion of any GH¢55 million with me by EOCO. None,” he wrote.
According to him, he was detained for four days, a day after announcing his intention to contest for the position of National Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party.
Mr Aboagye alleged that false narratives were circulated about his arrest but expressed confidence that the truth would eventually prevail.
He thanked NPP supporters who demonstrated and called for his release, saying news of the protests reached him while he was in detention and encouraged him.
Mr Aboagye indicated that the support shown by party faithful strengthened his resolve and reaffirmed his commitment to serve the NPP.
He maintained that his detention had not discouraged him from pursuing his political ambition.
“If the intention was to break me, it has failed. If the intention was to scare me, it has failed spectacularly,” he stated.
Mr Aboagye expressed appreciation to his legal team, the leadership of the NPP and all supporters who stood by him throughout his detention.
He reiterated his determination to lead the party’s Communications Directorate, declaring that he remained “ready to win” and committed to what he described as the party’s mission to “command the narrative.”
