Yaw Dabo Appeals to John Mahama to Fix Bole-Bamboi Road

• Actor Yaw Dabo was unhappy about the poor state of roads in Bole, where the President hails from
• The actor recorded a video begging President John Mahama to prioritise the folks in his hometown
• Yaw Dabo's video was met with mixed reactions, as some claimed his appeal was centered on politics

Ghanaian actor and football investor Samuel Yaw Dabo, in a video which is gaining ground online, begged President John Mahama to attend to the Wa-Sawla-Bole-Bamboi Road in his hometown.

The president, a member of the Gonja ethnic group, hails from Bole in the Savanna Region of Ghana.

The Wa-Sawla-Bole-Bamboi Road, a critical Trans-ECOWAS route linking the Upper West and Savannah regions to southern Ghana, has seen little to no maintenance, as reported by CitiNewsRoom.

Commuters state the road is full of hazards, often leading to multiple accidents. The overlord of the Waala Traditional Council, Naa Fuseini Seidu Pelpuo, has complained bitterly about the road in the past.

Dabo appeals to President over Bole-Bamboi road

Yaw Dabo, who appeared to have taken his football academy on a trip to Bole, was unhappy about the roads in the President's hometown.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the diminutive actor shared his frustrations over the deplorable condition of the roads in Bole, saying:

"We're begging our own father, John Mahama. Daddy, this is your hometown. Don't listen to anyone. Bole is nice. Please fix the roads so we can keep visiting the place."

Yaw Dabo was flanked by residents of Bole who cheered him on as he conveyed their plights to the president.

President Mahama has had his fair share of troubles as a commuter on the Bole road. Ghanaweb reported that Ghana's first citizen got stuck while using the deplorable road in 2004.

The plight of commuters on the route has been tossed around by successive NPP and NDC governments for over two decades.

Last year, outgoing president Nana Akufo-Addo promised to complete the rehabilitation works on the roads as a parting gift.

Dabo's call to the president over the Bole Bamboi road, which has become a topic for political commentators to shift blame and score points, has gained significant traction online.

Yaw Dabo donates to Suzzy Pinamang

During the visit, the diminutive actor bemoaned a perceived lack of support shown to the 16-year-old and called on the relevant authorities to do more.

Yaw Dabo then presented an undisclosed amount of money to Suzzy and urged her not to be discouraged, amid efforts to help regain her eyesight.
