Thousands join Sammi Awuku on her first 'Ofie Walk' in Akuapem North

Thousands of Akuapem North Constituency residents have given the strongest indication yet that Mr Samuel Awuku, Director General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA) and aspiring parliamentary candidate for the Akuapem North Constituency, is their choice to become the constituency’s parliamentary candidate in 2024.

The charismatic Awuku’s tremendous support in the Constituency was clear on Friday, August 4, 2023, when a large audience joined organisers and constituents for the inaugural edition of the ‘Ofie Mega Health Walk’ in the Constituency.

Shouts of applause and jostling to get a look at him or connect with him demonstrated the degree of affection and support he has as he strives to become the area’s lawmaker.

The health walk was another milestone occasion in the history of the Akuapem North Constituency, as hundreds of residents marched alongside the Director General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA).

The event drew several dignitaries, including the party’s Regional Chairman, John Konadu, and other regional executives, CEOs, Deputy CEOs, and other dignitaries, including Kwaku Tebi, the Deputy CEO of Ghana Post, Ms Anna, Deputy Director of the NLA, Kojo Odame Antwi, and celebrities such as Edem, Kalybos, Bismark the Joke, and Prince David Osei.

The walk, which began at Amanokrom Park and ended at the Offie High Street in Akropong, drew thousands of young people wearing T-shirts with the inscriptions Sammi Awuku and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as well as other inscriptions showing support for Mr Awuku.

Mr Awuku took advantage of the occasion to praise the young people for turning up in large numbers and proving that the NPP is still ready for another electoral campaign and victory in 2024.

Many of the young folks were overjoyed by the Ofie Mega Health Walk. They stated that they expected Mr Sammi Awuku’s arrival into local politics to reenergize their constituency.

They promised to back Mr Awuku no matter what and to unite behind him to strengthen the party’s fortunes in the constituency.
Mr Awuku, who was noticeably delighted, took turns exchanging pleasantries and shaking hands with numerous of these people as he strolled from store to shop on the streets.

The Offie Mega Walk, which is in its inaugural year, is projected to become an annual event attracting tens of thousands of participants, according to its organisers.

Mr Awuku hinted that the party will unite behind the chiefs and people as they prepare to celebrate this year’s Ovim and Odwira festivities.
