Accra: Chiefs of Asogli State have blessed Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), wishing him success and ascension to the highest pinnacle in his endeavours. Togbe Adzie Lakle Howusu XII, Awafiaga of Asogli State, extended the blessings and good wishes to Mr. Nketia for coming to thank them after the party's 2024 victory, while acknowledging his leadership and dedication to the governing NDC.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Nketia visited the Asogli Palace in Ho as part of his 'Thank You Tour.'

Mr. Nketia was wished strength and protection from the gods and God Almighty to succeed in all his pursuits.
Mr. Nketia, on his part, expressed gratitude to the chiefs and people of the area for their electoral support to the NDC, highlighting the achievement of a massive win in the 2024 polls. He emphasized the importance of face-to-face communication, reflecting on past practices during the tenure of the late former President John Rawlings, where government appointees would regularly reach out to constituencies to explain government policies and gather feedback.
He advocated for the reinstating of these outreach programmes to maintain a strong connection with the public and assured of his commitment to continue being an active and engaged leader. Mr. James Gunu, Volta Regional Minister, described Mr. Nketia's visit to Ho and other constituencies as part of his ongoing nationwide thank you tour as apt, emphasizing the importance of showing gratitude beyond election periods. He referenced Luke 17:11-19 of the Bible to underline the need to show gratitude and assured the electorates that the NDC would not wait until election year to engage with them.
