The Otumfuo Ahenenanom Hene, Nana Kwame Mensah-Bonsu, has criticized President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for failing to bring development projects to the Ashanti Region and has reimagined former President John Mahama as the kind leader of the nation once more.
He charged that President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) were abusing the Ashanti Region, where the NDC and John Mahama’s administration had outperformed better than all NPP administrations.
According to Nana Mensah-Bonsu, a sub-chief of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who spoke in an interview with Angel Fm, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), which receives few votes in the Ashanti Region, has done more projects there than the NPP government.
He added that the Akufo-Addo government is the worst he has seen, asking “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 to law school with? Who did he go to the university with? He has not brought any project 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 even saw John Mahama in my dream serving and president again,” he said in Twi.
The Otumfuo Ahenenana went on to list a number of projects started by the John Dramani Mahama administration, including the Sofoline Interchange in Kumasi, which the Akufo-Addo government has failed to complete in the over six years it has been in office.
He urged Ashanti chiefs to speak up and called on the people of the Ashanti land to make wise electoral choices for their own good.
