Lordina supports NDC campaign in Ketu North

Former First Lady, Lordina Dramani Mahama, has assured women involved in small enterprises that they will gain access to affordable funding for their businesses under the Mahama administration.

She stressed the significance of initiatives such as the Women’s Development Bank, the National Apprenticeship Programme and the implementation of a 24-hour economy policy, particularly for women and the youth. 

Campaign tour

Mrs Mahama, who is the wife of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, gave the assurance when she paid a working visit to the Ketu North Constituency in the Volta Region to campaign for John Mahama and the NDC’s parliamentary candidate, Edem Agbana.

She met some chiefs and queenmothers in the constituency, seeking their blessings and prayers for the NDC’s campaign.

She introduced the NDC parliamentary candidate, Edem Agbana, to the traditional leaders, encouraging them to support him for a decisive victory.

Mrs Mahama lauded the party's constituency leadership, emphasising that Mr Mahama would secure victory in December with their dedication and hard work.

She reaffirmed her husband's steadfast commitment to the Volta Region, assuring the people that their loyalty to the NDC would always be rewarded with vital development projects. 

Donation

At the Afife Health Centre in the constituency, Mrs Mahama donated medical equipment to enhance healthcare delivery services.

The Medical Director, Dr Sampson Mortty, who received the items, thanked the former First Lady for her generous donation, adding that the timing of her contribution was excellent and would significantly alleviate the challenges faced by the health team.

He noted the persistent struggle with inadequate medical equipment and supplies and expressed confidence that the donated supplies would greatly enhance their capacity to deliver effective care.

For his part, Mr Agbana also thanked Mrs Mahama for her quick response to the plea to support the facility.

He gave an assurance to the constituents that a future Mahama administration would revitalise the health facility and provide additional resources to improve services.
