Togbe Afede XIV, Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State, has praised President John Dramani Mahama’s efforts to combat corruption and recover stolen state assets.
Speaking during President Mahama’s ‘Thank You Tour’ in the Volta Region, Togbe Afede XIV expressed his full support for the President’s commitment to fighting corruption and restoring accountability.
“ORAL was great news for all of us. It’s bad enough to suffer, but it’s worse to know that you are suffering because a few people think they deserve all that the state has to offer and get themselves involved in a desperate scramble for our limited resources under property-owning democracy,” Togbe Afede XIV said.
“We support all your intentions, and all your plans to retrieve everything that was lost. Funds that were stolen, lands that were stolen, buildings etc. Your Excellency, you have our fullest support. We’re excited that you decided to make it unattractive for anybody to embark on that road. And that is why you have warned your own appointees. It’s our hope they respect that.”
Togbe Afede XIV also commended President Mahama’s directive for his appointees to declare their assets, describing it as “heartwarming.”
He praised the President’s reset agenda, which focuses on governance and accountability, saying it’s a “brave fight against corruption… Ghanaians appreciate the fact that you are moving at the speed of light.”
The Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State further applauded the government’s vision for a 24-hour economy and its proposed initiatives, describing them as forward-thinking and transformative.
