He said: “I believe the goods will go a long way to help the displaced people of this area especially women and children. We are very grateful to the two Members of Parliament of the two Constituencies and the District Chief Executives for their support.”
Mr Kwaku Frimpong Kumah, who represented President Mahama, appealed to the people to let peace reign.
“These items are not just supplies; they are a symbol of solidarity and a message that the welfare of every Ghanaian matters,” he said.
He highlighted President Mahama’s concern for the wellbeing of displaced persons and his deep affection for the communities, who have been affected by recent conflicts.
“Let us work together to ensure peace prevails, so that we can build a brighter future where prosperity flourishes for all, and the flames of conflict are extinguished,” the President urged.

Receiving the items, the Bole District NADMO Director, Timothy Bayinyare, expressed his appreciation and thanked President Mahama and Mr Wu and the Greenhouse team for such a kind gesture.
“Today, we are fortunate to receive a significant number of relief items from the Greenhouse Group.
“Since this unfortunate incident, this donation by the Greenhouse Group is the biggest and largest support so far that we have received and we thank them so much.
“We are deeply grateful for this kind gesture and also extend our sincerest thanks to President John Dramani Mahama,” he said.
“As we all know, the President hails from this community, and though he is mostly based in Accra, he always keeps an eye on us—monitoring events and ensuring that peace prevails here. As he continues to preach peace, we too echo that message, and we are truly thankful for the continuous support he has given us,” Mr Bayinyare said.
He added: “My humble advice as the NADMO Director is that whenever conflicts of this nature occur, the greatest loss we suffer is human life—and life is paramount.
“As I speak to you now, we have lost about 32 precious lives, which is a huge loss to the country. These individuals could have contributed productively to our nation,” he lamented.
