The CONCERN YOUTH OF ASANTE (CYA) holds a press conference today 1st September 2020 to tell the president of Ghana H. E NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFFO ADDO and the ruling New Patriotic Party to account to asanteman in their four years term Ghanaians voted for by the president of the CYA Dr Nana Agyenim Boateng (Gyataba).
Statement
” Ladies and gentlemen from the inky fraternity, we the Concerned Youth Of Asante (CYA) is here today to challenge the New Patriotic Party to account to Asanteman what they have done in the Ashanti Region since President Akuffo Addo assumed office barely four years ago.
Ladies and gentlemen, because we don’t want to be judgemental, we all witnessed the flagbearer of the opposition party, NDC just last Thursday at the Manhyia Palace accounting to the Overlord of Asante and our King, Otumfour Osei Tutu ll, the number of projects he was able to bring in the Ashanti Region when he had the opportunity to serve as president of the republic for just a term and we expect the NPP to do same. It’s our hope and prayer that President Akuffo Addo will Also go and show to Asantehene and the good people of Ashanti Kingdom his projects in the Ashati region alone for barely four years as a president.
As a group who is determined to fight for the progress and development of Asanteman, we hereby also challenge the good people in the Ashanti region to compare and contrast the kind of votes that are given out to the NPP and the kind of development we receive in an exchange whenever NPP was in power and do same to the NDC. For records, in the 2016 presidential election, the NPP had 1,642,288 votes only in the Ashanti region which represented 75.99%, a vote that brought President Akuffo Addo to power and NDC scoring as low as 503,368 which represented 23.29%.
We can on records say that, per our checks, since 1992,NDC has achieved a lot in terms of physical development projects in the Ashanti region than the NPP but receive less of our vote.
As the president of the Concerned Group,I want to ask if we are doing good to the party (NDC) who thinks about our welfare and re-think about the kind of party we sacrifice our votes for as a native of Asante.
This, we are saying is the truth and the truth needs to be told.
CYA is not far from right if we say the NPP takes Asanteman for fools. This is because, the NPP only deceives Asanteman when they needed votes and dump us when we cry for development. We are now wise and can no longer be deceived by the self-seeking Nana Addo’s government and the NPP.
On a number of projects that were brought to the Ashanti region under the NDC and John Dramani Mahama’s four years as president; some projects in the Ashanti under JDM
KUMASI KEJETIA
TAFO MARKET
ASAWASE MARKET
ATONSU MARKET and many more……….Let me say again that, the NPP takes our resources and develop other regions that are of their interest with them.
Is it not interesting for Nana Addo to establish a movie theater at Akyim-Kyebi where not even a single soul in the area is known to be an actor or actress whereas we have the likes of Kojo Nkansa Lil Wayne, Kwaku Manu, Kyeiwaa, Mercy Asiedu, Kwadwo Poku Mahala, Agya Koo, just to mention but a few who are struggling to even rent hotels for good movies.
A Bauxite concession at Nyinahini in the Ashanti region which was awarded a contract to a Ghanaian based business man was just terminated and now a Chinese business man is operating.
The NPP cuts our timber and develop other regions with them. Before I conclude, we want to be clear if we are always made slaves under NPP and we expect Nana Addo to tell us”. God bless CYA
God bless ASANTEMAN
God bless GHANA
Thank you for your time and May the good Lord bless us all.
