The Programs Manager and Aide to the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Andy Owusu has explained that the decision to name the soon to be constructed regional office complex under the late Baffour Osei Akoto is to honour the sacrifices and commitment made by the Late Chief Linguist towards the formation of the New Patriotic Party.

Andy Owusu noted that no one deserves the honour more than the Late Baffour Akoto; whose sacrifice and selfless contribution, led to the establishment of the UP tradition which later gave birth to the NPP.

The Late Baffour Akoto, who was said to be the most popular and longest serving Chief Linguist in the history of the Asante Kingdom, actively led the crusade for the formation of the UP tradition which later culminated in his incarceration under the Nkrumah regime.
