The Assemblymember for Wuxor, Have, and Sremanu Electoral Area, Hon. Japhet Festus Gbede, has lavished praise on the Volta Regional Minister, Hon. James Gunu, and the Council of State Member for the Volta Region, H.E. Gabriel Kwamigah Tanko Atokple, describing them as “relentless visionaries whose hunger for development knows no bounds.”
The young Assemblymember has also described the Volta Regional Minister, Hon. James Gunu, and Council of State Member, H.E. Gabriel Kwamigah Tanko Atokple, as “sacrificial lamps whose combined energy is illuminating the path of transformation for the Volta Region.”
According to Hon. Gbede, Hon. Gunu’s ambitious Water for All project has brought lasting relief to many communities that for decades struggled with access to clean and safe drinking water. From the coastal districts to the hinterlands, boreholes and mechanised water systems are being commissioned, directly improving health, sanitation, and livelihoods.
He also commended H.E. Tanko Atokple for his strategic networking with foreign donors and investors to attract factories and industrial facilities to the Volta Region. According to him, these efforts are creating fertile ground for job creation, entrepreneurship, and long-term economic stability.
“From the bustling heart of Ho to the serene farming belts of North Dayi, from the tourism-rich Afadzato South to the fishing communities of Keta, the evidence of their work is visible and impactful. These are leaders who have chosen to be sacrificial lamps, burning themselves to give light to the path of progress in our region,” he stated.
Hon. Gbede emphasised that their combined energy, foresight, and commitment are ushering in an era the Volta Region has never experienced before. “History will remember this as the period when leadership rose above politics and personal comfort to serve every Volta citizen with integrity, passion, and vision,”.
“Sometimes I wonder if Hon. Gunu and H.E. Tanko even rest. They are everywhere donating to communities, supporting festivals, empowering the youth, and uniting the Volta NDC like never before. If these men are ever done, the NPP should prepare to go back to 1992, because no reasonable person in this region will wear their T-shirt again,he said.”
“The combined energy of these two leaders is not a political stunt, it is a mission and a movement. They are burning themselves to give light to every corner of this region,” Hon. Gbede declared.
