Kakata, Margibi County — Margibi County District #3 Representative, Hon. Ellen A. Attoh-Wreh, has launched a sharp political critique against some of her opponents, accusing them of engaging in what she termed “copycat politics” and relying on imitation rather than innovation to remain politically relevant.
The lawmaker made the remarks on Friday while addressing journalists during a development and empowerment tour across several communities in Kakata City. The tour featured a series of community-focused interventions, including the distribution of empowerment packages to more than 100 women, the donation of armchairs to the Rev. W. K. Moore Public School and the Moses Clinic, and the presentation of customized police T-shirts and caps to support local security initiatives.
Hon. Attoh-Wreh argued that certain political actors in District #3 have built their public profiles largely on criticism, often opposing development initiatives without proposing viable alternatives. According to her, many of these critics later adopt the very programs they once dismissed, particularly during election periods.
“Some people are known only for criticism,” the lawmaker said. “They oppose empowerment efforts meant to uplift our people, yet later turn around and replicate the same ideas for political advantage.”
She cited specific examples to support her claims, recalling that she was once criticized for distributing Big Belleh bags as part of her empowerment strategy. However, she noted that during the 2023 general elections, some of the same critics were later seen packaging baby items in black plastic bags and distributing them to pregnant women across the district.
Hon. Attoh-Wreh also referenced opposition to her initiative of issuing tickets to women beneficiaries as a way of ensuring transparency, accountability, and equitable distribution of empowerment support. She stated that despite the backlash, similar distribution methods were eventually adopted by those who had initially condemned the approach.
“When we introduce structured empowerment, it is ridiculed,” she added. “But when election season arrives, the same people adopt identical practices—often with far less impact.”
Reaffirming her development philosophy, the District #3 representative stressed that her focus remains on people-centered governance rather than political showmanship. She reiterated her commitment to women’s empowerment, education, healthcare support, and community security, describing these areas as essential to improving the daily lives of her constituents.
The Friday tour, she explained, is part of a broader legislative and development agenda aimed at delivering practical solutions to long-standing community challenges. She urged political actors in the district to abandon what she described as the “politics of noise” and instead embrace innovation, collaboration, and sincere public service.
As political maneuvering intensifies across Margibi County, Hon. Attoh-Wreh’s remarks have reignited public debate over originality, accountability, and results-driven leadership in District #3, placing renewed attention on the substance behind political promises and development claims.
