For Immediate release!!!

ASHANTI’S FOR NDC (ASHFON)

RE: Any Ashanti man who votes for NDC in 2020 is a “FOOL”, Kennedy Agyapong of the NPP.

Reference is made to the above title as has been said by Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, the NPP MP for Assin Central on a radio interview on Oman FM in Accra.

We, in the above mentioned group, regret that such an uncivilized statement will be made by a member of the legislature of our dear Republic.

Though, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, as we all know him to be, is a man of loose talk and unguarded speeches, his recent pronouncement on Asantes in NDC and its sympathizers as “fools” is shameful, disgusting and tribalistic, to say the least.

Moreover, his attack is not only against the Ahsanti NDC members alone but the Ashanti Kingdom at large since we Asantes trace our ancestral heritage to the Golden Stool, “Sika Dwa, and the great Asante Empire, Manhyia, as our seat, of which we are proud of.

We are by this release calling on Hon. Kennedy Agyapong to retract and apologize, not only to Asantes in the NDC but also to Asanteman as a whole for this unwarranted insult.

We can confidently tap our chests and say that under Asantes in NDC and its sympathizers, the region has seen enormous and massive projects in the region of which Nananom and the people therein are proud of: the almighty Kejetia Market, other satellite markets, water, hospital projects and E-Blocks all because some Asantes voted for the NDC.

We are giving him a one week ultimatum, that is, up to the close of the partial Coronavirus lockdown to do the needful, of which failure to do so will attract the wrath of we the Asantes in the NDC.

May the good Lord save us from this Coronavirus pandemic.
