The Palce of the Chief of Agric Nzema in Kumasi came alive on Sunday when hundreds of market women clad in colorful traditional attire, gathered to celebrate their Chief, Nana Nkansah Boadu Ayeboafo
Their reason was to celebrate their traditional ruler for his enormous gesture and benevolence towards their community.
The women, whose lives have been transformed by the newly constructed ultra-modern market complex, hailed their chief as a “second Jesus,” a symbolic title meant to express their deep appreciation for his benevolence and life-changing developmental initiatives in the community.
The gesture, they said, has not only provided them with a dignified and secure space to trade but also restored hope and pride among the women of Agric Nzema, many of whom had struggled for years to make ends meet under poor market conditions.
Speaking on behalf of the traders. (Name) , one of the senior market queens, said the new facility was nothing short of a miracle.
“We used to sit under the sun and rain just to sell our goods. Our wares got spoiled often, and business was tough. But today, we have shops, sheds, and proper facilities. Nana Nkansah Boadu has truly changed our lives, Nana, you are our second Jesus,” she said with tears of joy.
The new market complex, situated at the heart of Agric Nzema, boasts modern stalls, storage facilities, washrooms, and a spacious car park. It is expected to serve hundreds of traders from within the community and neighboring suburbs.
At the colorful Akwasidae ceremony held at his palace, Nana Nkansah Boadu Ayeboafo expressed gratitude to the people for their continuous support and reaffirmed his commitment to community development.
“Leadership is about service. Whatever resources we have must reflect in the lives of our people. I am humbled by your appreciation, and I assure you that this is just the beginning. Agric Nzema will continue to grow,” the Chief said.
He also called on other traditional leaders and stakeholders to prioritize initiatives that directly impact the livelihoods of ordinary people, particularly women who play a vital role in sustaining local economies.
The event drew a large crowd, including opinion leaders, assembly members, and youth groups, who all commended Nana Nkansah Boadu’s visionary leadership.
For the market women, however, words were not enough to describe their joy. They danced and sang praises deep into the evening, celebrating not just the new market, but a renewed sense of community and hope — all thanks to a chief they now affectionately call “their second Jesus.”
