Mr Joseph Obeng made emphasis on the fact that, the then Vice President, Mr John Dramani Mahama gave them a listening ear and further acted upon the association’s suggestions they provided.
“We were among the first people to visit you at the castle when you became the Vice President…. We talked in detail. One thing I observed from that meeting was that, you take your time and listen. Your Excellency, you remember when we were talking about how you you were going to finance your Savannah Project.
“And we had suggested that you tap into the Export Trade, Agricultural and Industrial Development Fund (EDAIF) which was being underutilized. And you listened to us. You remember what you said, ‘not only one person is knowledgeable’, So, if someone like you was advised by ordinary traders at that time, because he believes wisdom can be found in lots of people and not one person, it means he is amenable,” Mr Joseph Obeng said.
