You voted against Ato Cudjoe, that is why I didn’t pay attention to the developments in Ekumfi – Akuffo Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that he did not pay attention to the development needs of Ekumfi in the central region because the people there voted Francis Ato Cudjoe out of parliament in the 2020 elections.

Speaking with traditional leaders from Ekumfi at the Jubilee House, Mr Akufo-Addo demonstrated his disappointment over the defeat of Ato Cudjoe.

Despite making “him [Ato Cudjoe] a deputy minister,” the constituents still voted him out, the president said.

“Ato Cudjoe was your MP and I made him a Deputy Minister and you voted him out in the last elections, and because of that, I did not pay attention to development in your area. I have to be honest with you, but since you have brought it up, I will pay attention to it.”

He however, assured that he would do his best to develop the area.
