Apostle Samuel Otu Appiah, Area Head of the Church of Pentecost in Goaso, delivered a heartfelt message during a special gathering held in honor of President John Dramani Mahama’s visit to the Ahafo Region on June 4, 2025.
In his remarks, Apostle Appiah congratulated President Mahama on his re-election, describing it as an “overwhelming victory” and a testament to the continued trust Ghanaians place in his leadership.
He also praised the President’s recent institution of a National Day of Prayer, calling it a timely and spiritually significant gesture.
“This initiative reflects a deep appreciation for the role of faith and divine guidance in our national journey,” Apostle Appiah stated.
The Apostle went on to express sincere gratitude for the appointment of Charity Gardiner as the first female Regional Minister for Ahafo.
He commended her for her “immense commitment” to the region’s progress, highlighting her inclusive leadership style and accessibility.
While acknowledging the government’s efforts, Apostle Appiah also drew attention to persistent challenges facing the Ahafo Region. Chief among them, he noted, was the lack of essential social amenities and infrastructure.
He pointed specifically to the poor condition of major roads linking Mabang to Goaso, Ntotroso, and Achirensua to Sunyani, and urged the government to prioritize their rehabilitation.
He further emphasised the pressing need for a regional hospital and a public university, stating that their absence continues to limit access to quality healthcare and higher education.
