“We love him...If you know Atta Akyea, you will just love him, the man is simple but hard-working,” Patience Asare, a party faithful said.
“He has brought boreholes to communities. He has brought school buildings, roads, streetlights, the CHPS compound, and a lot more. Many children are in school because he is ever ready to assist a needy child,” Ms Asare added.
