Nana Pene was speaking to climax a durbar at Chiraa in honour of the President on the final day of his two-day working visit to the Bono Region.

She noted that the level of leadership demonstrated by the President amidst the pandemic confirms that he is a gift from God for Ghana and must be appreciated.

“We often do not appreciate the good works of people until they are no more. God has used the President in a way that has manifested in the well-being of the citizens and the peace enjoyed as a country,” she averred.
