Former President John Dramani Mahama, Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has redeemed his pledge of 1,000 bags of cement to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana towards the construction of a conference centre at the church in Ho.
He pledged to the Church during her 175th-anniversary celebration some 24 months ago in Ho.
Mr. Kwame Agbodza, Member of Parliament of Adaklu, presenting the cement on behalf of Mr. Mahama praised the Church for her contribution towards the development of the country.
“The Church’s contribution in the fields of education, health, cultural and economic development could not be glossed over,” he stated.
Mr Agbodza, who is the Minority Chief Whip in Parliament asked the Church to continue praying for the nation for peace before, during and after the general election in December, this year.
He also asked the Church to pray for the National Democratic Congress to enable it to assume the governance of the country to reset it.
He assured that the NDC would continue to collaborate with all stakeholders to build a better Ghana and a resilient economy.
He assured that “we will not disappoint Ghanaians if they repose their confidence in us.”
Right Rev. Dr. Lt. Col (rtd) Bliss Divine Agbeko, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church receiving the gift on behalf of the Church praised the former President for his generosity.
He noted that all the relevant papers for the project have been acquired for its takeoff saying, “The contractor will move to cite soon.”
The Moderator stated that the project would not only serve as a conference centre but also as a youth resource centre.
He said the Church would continue to help the youth acquire employable skills to add value to themselves and become responsible citizens in future.
Rt. Rev. Dr. Lt. Col. Agbeko reminded the former President to work to “right the wrongs in society” if he comes back to power.”
Present at the ceremony were Rev. Dr Lawson Dzanku, Clerk of the General Assembly of the Church, Mr Henry Ametefe, former Regional Chairman, Mr James Gunu, Volta Regional Secretary and other Regional and Ho Central constituency executives of the NDC.
