Rev. Addo, in his remarks, praised the initiative for promoting indigenous cuisine and encouraged Ghanaians to patronize local foods, describing them as both nutritious and culturally significant. He further called for national backing to support Dr. Safo Kantanka’s innovation and efforts, which he described as key to enhancing Ghana’s economic self-reliance.

The MP also took the opportunity to highlight ongoing developmental projects in the Ablekuma West constituency, including:

• The dredging of the Otodjor drainage system to prevent flooding,
• Current interventions to fix multiple faulty traffic lights within the municipality.

He assured the people of Ablekuma West that he remains committed to delivering meaningful development, stating, “Ablekuma shall have what it truly deserves. I will not rest until every corner of our constituency sees progress.”

In attendance were members of his team, including the President’s nominated MCE, Hon. Nii George Kpakpo Allottey, who joined in showing support for the event and its mission.

The festival not only celebrated a cultural delicacy but also served as a platform to honor the resilience and contributions of Ghana’s labor force, blending patriotism, innovation, and tradition into a unifying experience.
