As a result of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s failure to implement development initiatives in the Ashanti Region, the Otumfio Ahenenanom Hene, Nana Kwame Mensah-Bonsu, has recast former President John Mahama as the nation’s benevolent leader once more.
He claimed that the Ashanti Region, where the NDC and John Mahama’s administration had outperformed all NPP administrations, was being mistreated by President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In an interview with Angel FM, Nana Mensah-Bonsu, a sub-chief of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, claimed that the NDC opposition party, which receives few votes in the Ashanti Region, has completed more projects there than the NPP administration.
The Akufo-Addo administration, he continued, is the worst he has ever seen, and he questioned “whether the president had any education.”
“I am here to fight for Ashanti. Akufo-Addo should come and point out all the development projects he has brought to the Ashanti Region and let Mahama also do same.
“.. has Akufo-Addo gone to school since he came into politics, who is his classmate? Who did he go go to law school with? Who did he go to the university with? He has not brought any projects to the Ashanti Region.
“I beg you call the NDC and call the NPP for them to come and account for what they have done in the Ashanti Region. We’re not fools. If we were blind yesterday, today we can see that it is raining and the ground is wet, I saw John Mahama in my dream serving and president again,” Otumfio Ahenenanom Hene said in Twi.
The John Dramani Mahama administration began a number of projects, including the Sofoline Interchange in Kumasi, which the Akufo-Addo administration must finish in its more than six years in office, according to Otumfio Ahenenanom Hene.
He urged the Ashanti chiefs to speak up and urged the Ashanti populace to vote wisely for their own benefit.
