He also called on the people of Effutu to support him in his leadership, stating that he is committed to working hard to support and develop Effutu, regardless of any political party affiliations.
“Ours is to work hard no matter how hard it is, and to have faith in God to make a difference because it is possible. I need all your support in my leadership.
"Leadership is truly a lonely journey without the support of your community, you cannot make it. Help me to succeed. Effutu first. The seat I sit on in parliament is called the Effutu seat. I, therefore, count on you to support us to achieve, he appealed.
He also promised to construct two new model schools, one for boys and one for girls, to promote girl child education. Additionally, he pledged to establish three new senior high schools in Effutu.

"Our contractors are working very hard so that those who completed their BECE recently can attend. We are going to have three more secondary schools in addition to Winneba secondary,” he assured.
Afenyo-Markin also urged parents and children to cooperate with their teachers, emphasizing that education is a collective responsibility that requires everyone's involvement to thrive.
“A lot will depend on you. These little ones will have the future of the country called. Their future will depend on you. Please, do not fail these young ones.
"My duty as an MP is to do all I can to achieve the Effutu dream. The future dream is all about transforming our community and making Winneba a place of choice for business.”
