Asokore Mampong Youth Association under Asante youth Group has also given senior minister Hon Yaw Osafo marfo to retract from his tribal bigotry comments he made about Asantes.
The Senior Minister, according to the group,was heard in a video that,the Asantes did not play any role in seeking independence for Ghana.
Speaking in a press conference on Monday morning,Emmanuel Nana Wiafe ,the President of Asokore Mampong Youth of Association said, ashanti’s played a major role in gaining independence for Ghana.
He Said some all the MPs in the Ashanti Region are to be blame for non development projects in the region.
He said,the Akyem Mafias has agenda against the Asantes that is why they are starving the Asante’s with development and to the extent of re-writing their history.
“We are attempted to believe that, there wouldn’t be any development in Ashanti region in the administration of Nana Addo because they have in mind that they,the Asantes never contributed to the development of the Nation”he said.
The Youth group is calling on Dr Yaw Osafo Marfo to retract and apologize for Asantemen.
“We’re telling them that we’re very sad that this situation has occurred. We’re not threatening them but we can promise them that if nothing is done about the current situation in the Ashanti region, we’re going to sponsor our own candidates, 47 of them, so that during the 2024 elections they’re going to stand aside, and we present our own candidates that we think can bring development to Ashanti region.”
The group has thus given the government and lawmakers in the region a one-week ultimatum to respond to their concerns or face their wrath in the coming days.
“Since the inception of the fourth republic in 1992, governments have come governments have gone. The Ashanti region has supported various governments through the kind of personalities and the votes that we give to them, but we’ve not seen the development that we need to get as a region.
“Ashanti region can boast of 47 Members of Parliament, across the political divide, both NPP and NDC. What have we seen? We were expecting that the massive support that we give to them will be commensurate with the development, but we’re not seeing it. We’ve seen total neglect! Promises have not been fulfilled, projects have been abandoned, and our roads are bad. We have prominent personalities that we supported in government. We thought that these people were going to be the agents of development in our region, but they have failed us.”
