The Ashanti regional chapter of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has strongly condemned the government, accusing it of neglecting the Ashanti region and sidelining it in terms of development.
Specifically pointing fingers at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the party alleges a deliberate lack of attention and resources directed toward the region’s growth.
Frank Amoakohene, the Ashanti Region Secretary of the NDC, expressed concern during a press conference in Kumasi, stating that the government seems to be intentionally depriving the Ashanti region of developmental projects, in contrast to other regions experiencing consistent infrastructural advancements.
Amoakohene called on the electorate to consider voting out the NPP in the upcoming 2024 polls, citing their dissatisfaction with the perceived neglect.
He emphasized the urgency for the government to expedite the completion of all stalled projects in the region.
“We believe that the Ashanti region has been sidelined, so far as development is concerned. And it’s even reflected in his appointments, ministers, Chief Executives and others.”
“We believe that this current NPP set-up has nothing to offer the Ashanti region,” said the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC.
