The president has been called "Sompahene", which literally means "good servant" after the creation of the Bono East area.

He added that the President's bold decision to create new regions indicated that the Government's process of national reconstruction was under way.
Nana Owusu Acheaw Brempong I expressed my optimism that soon Ghanaians would benefit from the Planting for Food and Jobs and One-District One Factory projects.
He then called on the government to tackle the perennial problem of water in the region.
The council presented to the president a male cow and 200 yam tubers in order to initiate him as a member of Owusu Asare stool, in accordance with the tradition of the people of Atebubu.
The president made a four-day working visit to the Bono, Northeast, and Ahafo regions.
