In line with this, Alhaji Jaja pledged the President’s commitment to put in place the needed infrastructure and develop every part of the country.
Alhaji Jaja made this remark in an interview with the Daily Graphic after he had donated 300 hundred bags of rice and 200 bags of sugar to residents of Kumasi Zongo.
This is to help vulnerable Muslims and non Muslims living in the area.
According to Alhaji Jaja, the Mahama Administration is not resting on its oars but it is working to improve the health, education, water, agriculture, infrastructure and manpower needs of the country.
He said ZFM was a society that thrived above ethnicity, individualism and regionalism and added “every resident of Zongo is free to join but would not be forced or coerced to vote for NDC.”
Alhaji Jaja reminded members in the Zongo that even though the task ahead of the NDC as a party was enormous, it believed in winning the heart and minds of Ghanaians with the good works currently being undertaken by the Mahama-led Administration across the country.
The Founder and the Chairman of ZFM, therefore, urged the youth in the Zongo communities to work tirelessly to further their education to enable them to take advantage of government’s social intervention programmes such as the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) and the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP).
