It’s official! Magyigbe takescharde in Jasikan– vows to lead for all!  

Parke-Davis Magyigbe, the newly confirmed Municipal Chief Executive for the Jasikan Municipality, has delivered an earnest and inclusive appreciation speech, marking the official acceptance of his nomination by President John Dramani Mahama.

In a moving address delivered before an audience of local leaders, assembly members, and community stakeholders, Mr Magyigbe expressed profound gratitude to the President for placing confidence in his leadership, pledging to serve with “diligence and integrity.”

“His Excellency’s trust inspires me to serve. I am honoured to accept this nomination and take on the responsibilities that come with it,” he said.

The confirmation of Mr Magyigbe marks a key step in the Mahama administration’s ongoing effort to reinforce capable leadership at the district and municipal levels, particularly as the government deepens its Reset Ghana agenda—a renewed focus on transparency, responsiveness, and sustainable development.

Acknowledging the Collective Effort
Mr Magyigbe’s remarks were steeped in humility and a clear recognition of the collective effort that shaped his journey to office. He singled out his wife, Miss Patricia Addy, and their children for their steadfast support, calling his family a pillar of strength that provided “physical, spiritual, emotional, and financial assistance.”

He also extended his appreciation to the chiefs and elders of Buem, noting that their support formed the bedrock of his public service ambitions. The Honourable Assembly Members, led by Presiding Member Andrew Kwaku Jacintho, received a commendation for conducting a “transparent and fair evaluation process.”

Bipartisan Recognition and a Pledge to Serve All
Mr Magyigbe notably acknowledged both the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) actors for their support, underscoring a message of unity and inclusion.

In recognising the role of key figures—including the Minister for Sports and Recreation, Hon. Kofi Iddie Adams, and Regional Minister Hon. John Kwadwo Gyapong—the MCE-elect framed his appointment not as a partisan victory, but as a mandate to serve all constituents equally.

Commitment to Good Governance
Pledging to uphold the tenets of accountability and openness, Mr Magyigbe vowed to engage with all stakeholders in the delivery of responsive governance and development.

“As I prepare to take on this new role, I pledge to listen, learn, and engage… I am committed to the values of transparency, accountability, and service that our municipality deserves,” he stated.
He also extended a conciliatory hand to those who had vied for the position, acknowledging the valuable role of his fellow aspirants in strengthening the democratic process.

A New Chapter for Jasikan
Mr Magyigbe concluded his address with a powerful reaffirmation of his readiness to lead and collaborate: “I am eager to work with all of you to address the challenges we face and strive for progress and unity, as we RESET Jasikan Municipality.”

With his confirmation now complete, attention will turn to how Mr Magyigbe translates his vision into action, particularly in aligning local governance with the broader national objective of institutional reform and development equity.
