Madina MP Donates GHC 50,000 to Fire Victims at Madina Market

In a show of solidarity and support for victims of the recent fire outbreak at the Madina Market, Hon. Francis Xavier-Sosu, the Member of Parliament for Madina, through the Madina Emergency Relief Fund (M.E.R.F) -an initiative of the MP- has distributed GHC 50,000 in donations.

The initial batch of donations, totaling ten recipients, primarily consisted of women traders, each receiving GHC 5,000 to aid in their recovery efforts from the devastating blaze.

The donation ceremony was graced by the presence of Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who personally presented the financial assistance on behalf of Hon. Sosu and the M.E.R.F initiative.

Addressing the gathering, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang acknowledged the prevailing economic hardships in the country but urged affected traders not to lose hope, emphasizing the importance of peaceful political participation in the upcoming December 7 elections.

She encouraged voters to re-elect Francis Xavier-Sosu, highlighting his exceptional performance as a first-term MP dedicated to the welfare of Madina constituents.

In response, Hon. Xavier-Sosu reaffirmed the NDC’s commitment to prioritizing the needs of ordinary Ghanaians, underscoring the importance of supporting former President John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming elections.

He pledged continued assistance to all affected victims and outlined his ongoing initiatives, including the Madina Job Center, the Madina Teachers Award, community borehole projects, and legislative efforts that have positively impacted the constituency.

Notably, during the ceremony, several market women publicly announced their decision to switch allegiance from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the NDC, citing their admiration for Hon. Sosu’s effective representation and initiatives in spite of being in opposition.
