President John Mahama has taken his thank you tour to the Volta Region described as the umbilical of the ruling government and has pledged to continue the “legacy of peace” his late predecessor John Mills began. Addressing chiefs and people of Sogakope and Dabala, the president eulogized the late president, describing his reign as the most peaceful. “It is often said by our elders that you realise the value of your possession when you lose it. In death people who had even vilified and insulted him came out, they couldn’t help it, and testified that this man was a great man. He was a good man. “The legacy he left us was a legacy of peace. He was man of peace and because of that we named him Asomdwee hene (King of Peace)." He said the 2012 General Elections will follow the same peaceful trend but will not project who will win, except to admonish against acts of thuggery and violence. “He (Atta Mills) also promised that this year’s elections are going to be peaceful and I wish to, on his behalf and my own behalf to pledge that these elections are going to the most peaceful and most successful that Ghana will ever have.” President John Mahama also pledged to complete all development projects started by the late president, particularly, the two projects dear to the hearts of the people of Volta Region- the Eastern Corridor Road project as well as the University of Allied and Public Health. “That University has started already. We will continue to put in the infrastructure and strengthen it and make sure that it becomes one of the best universities in this country.,” he promised. He appealed to the people of Volta Region to continue to support the governments in order for it to it fulfill its promises to the people of Ghana. “I will just urge you to continue to support us and continue the good work you are doing and in December let’s have elections peacefully; let there be no thuggery and let God himself decide the best person he thinks can lead this country," he said. Joy News’ Seth Kwame Boateng who is travelling with the president described the crowd at Keta as overwhelming.
