Speaking to at the event, Nana Akufo-Addo said he was struck by the overwhelming endorsement of key people from the political divide of the need to create the region. “It was clear that the process was demand driven and reflective of the will of the people as the constitution so intended,” he observed. ‘Raw political courage’ Minster of Regional Reorganisation and Development, Dan Botwe who could not hide his excitement for the successes achieved, said Nana Akufo-Addo exhibited what he termed “raw political courage” to be able to create the new regions. This, he explained, was because he had to navigate the difficult political, economic and social terrain before he was able to make the creation of the new regions a success. “There were doubts when president Nana Akufo -Addo embarked on the venture to create the new regions to reflect and fulfil the deeply and long held aspirations of our citizens in the affected areas. “There were even predictions of national tension and attempts were made to delay the longheld desires of our fellow citizens,” he stated. Despite these challenges, Mr. Botwe said such doubts and hand rigging, the President mustered courage and quality leadership to ensure the new regions were created. “Mr. President, when we are all long gone and the history of our beloved country comes to be written, alongside all the things that made Ghanaians proud will stand the courage of a president who dare to believe, dare to let his deepest democratic instincts result in action, dare to keep a promise made and dare to take stand,” he said of Nana Akufo-Addo.
