Mr Buah was among the entourage of Prof. Opoku-Agyemang.

He was full of praise for Mr Buah for his leadership style which extended the Rural Electrification Project to many communities in the Western Region.

The Omanhene noted with pride that even in opposition, Mr. Buah continued to demonstrate true leadership to the people of Ellembelle.

He cited a number of projects initiated and executed by the office of the MP with special reference to the Ellembelle Food Bank which is akin to the AYA Elder Care center to make food available to the needy and deprived in the various communities as part of his vision to fight hunger.

Obrempong Hina Dekyi X1V appealed to Mr Buah not to rest on his oars but continue to serve the people in his constituency and the Western Region as well.
