The Time Is Now To Build Banda For Future Generations- Banda MP And Deputy Minority Whip Charges Constituents

In a democracy, the power to choose representatives who will shape the future of a nation lies with the people. This power, exercised through the act of voting, is a fundamental pillar of democratic societies. The responsibility of elected officials goes beyond party lines and personal interests; it extends to the well-being and progress of the entire nation. During the Yam Festival celebrations in Banda-Boase, the Member of Parliament for Banda, Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim , addressed his constituents, urging them to prioritize national and societal interest and growth when casting their votes.

Highlighting on understanding the significance of voting, the outspoken Member of Parliament said, voting is a civic duty and a right that carries immense significance. It is the means through which citizens influence the direction and policies of their country. When individuals cast their votes, they are essentially shaping the future they want to see for themselves, their communities, and their nation as a whole. However, voting should not be a mere exercise of choosing just any candidate on the ballot to represent us, but rather, it should be a well-informed, thoughtful, and principled decision.
Taking a well-formed decisions like such will charge elected representatives, such as the MP, Assembly Members, unit committee members to up their game and deliver on the mandate to which they were elected and its only through this we can develop Banda and Ghana.

Addition to his address, he emphasized on the fact that national interest encompasses the collective welfare and prosperity of a nation. It goes beyond personal gain or regional advantages. Elected officials should prioritize national interest by focusing on policies and actions that benefit the majority of the population. This may include initiatives related to economic growth, healthcare, education, infrastructure development, and environmental sustainability. Banda MP, in his address, emphasized the need to think beyond short-term gains and consider the long-term well-being of the nation. And it’s is for this reason, he aims to build Banda every of us here will be proud of and investors will be willing to invest their capital here. In achieving this, it will not uplift the image of our district but will create jobs, curb rural- urban migration, eliminate poverty and all forms of social vices.

Reacting to this, the Chief of Banda – Boase, Toolee Ligbi, thanked the MP and reinstated that, if all people at Banda or even majority of us living in Banda have this level of patriotism in us Banda will have been the center of attraction in the region and the country at large, highlighting of the numerous tourist sites within the Banda communities.

Nana Boasehene, further thanked the MP for his selfless towards the development of Banda, in terms infrastructure, education, jobs for the youth, skills a vocational development, his efforts in security services recruitment for the young graduates of Banda amongst others.

The closing ceremony was marked with a teaming number of youth in front of the palace shouting and chanting “Ahmed Ibrahim, the political buddozer, your good works for Bandaman and your eagerness for growth and prosperity shall always lift you and make you great and mighty. Ahmed Ibrahim you are the chosen one and we will forever remain indebted to you”

He ceased the opportunity to address the youth, adding to it that, Ghana is moving at a fast pace and that they should position themselves for that and he’s committed to their growth and wellbeing, for this is the reason why they have always supported him in his political journey and such as he will forever remain loyal and indebted to them.
