Mr. Bright Nyatsikor, a Volta Regional Communications team member of the NPP, has said the nomination of Mr. Jerry Ameko by President John Mahama to serve as the District Chief Executive for Adaklu is a wise decision.
He said apart from Mr. Kwame Agbodza, Minister of Roads and Highways and Member of Parliament for Adaklu, Mr. Ameko was the most competent among the lot in the party in the Constituency.
Mr. Nyatsikor who is also the Volta/Oti Regional Public Relations Officer of the National Health Insurance Authority was commenting on the nominee in a chat with the Ghana News Agency.

Mr. Nyatsikor intimated that the nominee had the expertise and experience to handle the technocrats of the Assembly.
He stated that one of Mr. Ameko’s strengths was his ability to relate well with members of other political parties in the district and was hopeful members of the Adaklu District Assembly would unanimously endorse him.
Mr. Nyatsikor called on citizens of the area to shed their political coloration and support the nominee if he was endorsed to enable him to move the district to another level.
“The development of Adaklu supersedes our political and individual ambitions therefore let us come together and work in unison devoid of political affiliations,” he stated.
He urged members of the National Democratic Congress in the area, family members and friends to be moderate in their demands from the nominee adding “let us refrain from putting too much financial and other demands on him.”
Mr. Nyatsikor took the opportunity to congratulate the nominee and was hopeful he would use his expertise to the advantage of the district.
Mr. Ameko is the incumbent Adaklu Constituency Chair of the National Democratic Congress.
He is one the 71 people nominated by President John Mahama in a letter signed by Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President, to serve as Chief Executives of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies in eight regions of the country.
