In a video posted on his official X page, the MP informed constituents and road users commuting from Okponglo Junction to Madina and East Legon, as well as those heading from Madina to Accra Central, about the development.

Thanks so much for the patience over the last few months and so sorry for the inconvenience caused. I am here to work for you. God bless you all. #idey4u”
