Akufo-Addo And NPP Has Nothing Better For Ashanti Region - NDC Ashanti Reg. Chairman
The Ashanti Regional Chairman for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Nana Kwasi says the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been wicked to the people of Ashanti Region in terms of development.
According to him, President Nana Akufo-Addo came to embarrass himself in the Ashanti Region when he paid a courtesy call on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II as the President could not mention one major project he has done in 4 years for the Ashanti Region.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Nana Kwasi alluded to the fact that former President John Dramani Mahama could mention at least 10 projects in the Ashanti Region when he visited Manhyia to introduce his Running Mate to the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
He claimed that the Asantehene acknowledged the performance of former President John Dramani Mahama as he urged the NDC Flagbearer to tell the people what he has done for them when he was in power.
He indicated that the people of the Ashanti Region will make some changes in this year’s elections as the results from the region will favor the NDC Presidential Candidate, former President John Dramani Mahama.
“His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo has embarrassed himself in the Ashanti Region and such has never happened before. When H.E Nana Akufo-Addo came to the Ashanti Region, he could not mention one project he has done for the people of Ashanti Region and the only thing he did at Manhyia was to introduce his aspirants to the people of Ashanti and Otumfuo and this is very embarrassing,” he asserted.
Commenting on the projects that President Nana Akufo-Addo commissioned when he visited the Ashanti Region, the NDC Ashanti Regional Chairman said that one of the projects was done by a private company and the other was a continuation of 85 percent Tepa Hospital project done by former President John Dramani Mahama.
“We should ask ourselves if the Zoomlion project in the Ashanti Region was funded by the government, and the answer is no. The Tepa hospital that he visited, who constructed it? It was constructed by his H.E John Dramani Mahama’s project. Before we left office, the Tepa Hospital was 85 percent complete and so H.E Nana Akufo-Addo added only 15 percent to the project in 4 years,” he argued.
He, however, charged the people of Ashanti to be truthful to admit that former President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC have not been wicked to them in terms of development as there are remarkable projects like the Kejetia, Tafo, Asawase, and Atonsu markets to show.
