The Citizens of Sirigu assured President Mahama of their unflinching support and called on assembly members to unanimously endorse Mr. Aeke’s nomination.
They further expressed confidence that Mr. Aeke’s leadership would bring transparent, inclusive, and impactful governance to the district, aligning with the broader vision of President Mahama and the NDC for a more equitable and prosperous Ghana.
