Former Member of Parliament for Ketu South, , has indicated his readiness to allow the long-stalled St. Peter & Paul Development Project in Aflao to proceed — but only on the condition that his name is added to the project plaque in recognition of his personal financial contributions.
Sources close to the development have confirmed to News Volta that the former MP has formally requested a face-to-face meeting with , also known as Torgbui Tenuvi II, through a third-party intermediary, to deliberate on the matter.
This request follows recent public revelations by Epiphany TV, which suggested that Mr. Zigah had opposed the completion of the project, raising public concern and renewed debate over the future of the facility.
According to information available, Mr. Zigah maintains that he personally funded significant aspects of the project during his tenure as MP from 2005 to 2013, and therefore believes formal recognition through the project’s plaque is justified.
Sources say his position is that acknowledgment of his contribution would clear the way for consensus and cooperation, allowing the stalled project to move forward in the interest of the community.
The St. Peter & Paul project in Aflao has remained incomplete for several years, sparking growing frustration among residents and development advocates who see it as a critical infrastructure investment for education, faith-based services, and community development.
The project recently returned to the spotlight following efforts by Torgbui Tenuvi II and other stakeholders to revive and complete it, triggering renewed public discourse on its history, funding, and leadership roles.
Although Mr. Zigah’s willingness to engage in dialogue has been welcomed by some observers, the outcome of his request remains uncertain, pending a formal response from Torgbui Tenuvi II and project stakeholders.
Community leaders and civil society voices are calling for constructive engagement, compromise, and transparency, urging all parties to prioritise the development needs of Aflao and Ketu South over individual recognition.
As discussions continue behind the scenes, residents remain hopeful that the impasse will soon be resolved, paving the way for the long-awaited completion of the project.
