Artisans and traders in the Ablekuma West Constituency have offered rave reviews of the performance of the Member of Parliament for the constituency, Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.
The artisans and traders who participated in a campaign video for the MP argued her financial support set off their businesses, which are firmly established today.
Samuel Tweneboa, a welder opposite the Ave Maria School, expressed profound gratitude to Hon. Ursula for the support she offered him financially, which has enabled him to expand his workshop.
He disclosed that he fabricates metal containers, metal gates, and burglar proofs but was hit by financial crises a few years ago and had to approach the MP for support.
According to him, Mrs. Ursula Owusu guaranteed a loan for him, which he used to acquire work materials that enabled him to fabricate more instead of waiting to receive orders from clients.
“My own MP, Mrs. Ursula Owusu, has helped me a lot so I urge the constituents of Ablekuma West to vote for her massively and President Akufo-Addo so they can continue to support more people.”
“May God richly bless Ursula Owusu,” he said.
Comfort Ahinkorah, a trader who also bore witness to the performance of the MP indicated that when she started her petty trading, she could only purchase a few items for sale because she did not have enough money.
According to her, she suffered a lot until the MP provided them with soft loans to expand their trading.
“In the past, I could only purchase one crate of tomatoes but thanks to Ursula Owusu, today I could order more.”
“I can order a hundred bags of charcoal and could have purchased more but for the limited space to put them.”
“I can also purchase many varieties of foodstuffs today and in large quantities and the gratitude goes to Mame Ursula,” she stated.
According to her, but for the support that she received from the Member of Parliament things could have been different and life could have been very dire.
She explained that in the past she found it very difficult to pay her wards’ school fees but with the support from the MP, they are now helping and conducting their own petty trading and making some money.
She extended gratitude to the MP and invited Ablekuma West voters to reward her efforts with four more years and the President to do more.
