Press release
LEAVE NANA NKWANTABISA ALONE – HE IS NOT A Coward to Apologize to DISHONEST AFEKU
We wish to condemn the unjustified and unnecessary attack on the person of Nana Osei Nkwantabisa, Nkosuohene of the traditional area of Lower Axim and chairman of the planning committee of Axim Kundum, perpetrated by a group of disgruntled young people affiliated with Madame Catherine Ablema Afeku, former Member of Parliament for Evaluate Gwira.
The disgruntled NPP youth group, which numbered around 30, called for the head of Nana Nkwantabisa at their press conference, as we see their unhealthy approach as championing the demolition of Nana Nkwantabisa, the Nkosuohene of the Council. traditional Lower Axim.
In addition, we strongly support and support Nana Nkwantabisa because her actions were correct when he obtained an interview with Peace FM and TV stations to investigate the circumstances surrounding the expenditure of GH 200,000.
It should be noted that the most recent auditor’s report did not name any constituencies that oversaw the distribution of the aforementioned fund, but the dates specified show that the celebration of Axim Kundum fell within this period, as has been noted. captured the Auditor General.
It should also not be forgotten that the former Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, the Hon. Catherine Afeku, confirmed that the money had been refunded in an interview with an Accra-based Citi Fm but later said on Peace Fm a day later that the money had already been spent and could not be refunded, and we must ask him which of his claims should we, the young people of Axim, believe?
She specifically mentioned the celebrations of Axim, Nkroful and Nsein Kundum in her interview with Citi Fm, where Nana Nkwantabisa discredited her statement as false and denied ever seeing her or thanking her for bringing such musicians to Axim. , and we will urge Nana Nkwantabisa not to apologize because he did nothing wrong by setting the record straight.
Nana Nkwantabisa also reported on the money given to the planning committee in the form of 7,000 GHS received from the former Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture and maintained her position on multiple platforms.
It is important to note that Awulae Agyefi Kwame 111, Omahene of Nsein, has come out to deny ever having benefited or witnessed the expenses of Madame Afeku Kundum’s “golden handshake” of such a fund.
Let the former minister know that Nana Nkwantabisa, also known as Evans Osei Baffour, cannot be intimidated, and that we, the youth and members of NADEV, a registered youth association in good standing in Nzema East , let us firmly support our young Nkosuohene and make sure he does not make false apologies to Madame Afeku because he did nothing wrong by telling the truth.
May these illegal and politically backed groups, led by famous personality assassination entrepreneur Theophilus Musah, who once smeared Professor Nokoe when our leaders proposed to him to be appointed CEO of Ghana Gas, know that Nana Nkwantabisa was officially and legally enthroned as the Traditional Council of Nkosuohene of Lower Axim and appointed the chairman of the Axim Kundum planning committee.
We would like to remind the Hon. Catherine Afeku to carefully check her files for such derogatory remarks against this gentleman who defends the truth about the corrupt and infamous acts that pursue her.
She should also be informed that when confronted with the media, Nana Nkwantabisa spoke in her capacity as chairman of the Axim Kundum planning committee, which includes the traditional councils of the lower and upper Axim, but spoke in his capacity as chairman of Axim. Kundum planning committee, and his action was approved by his Nana Edusei, who shockingly disowned and betrayed his chairman, and we regard his act as very treacherous and dangerous.
Calling for the removal or removal of the chiefdom title of Nana Nkwantabisa as the Traditional Council of Nkosuohene of Lower Axim will not and never happen because we strongly support her veracity and visionary ideas, and to all. least, he brought back both Vodafone and MTN who had left Axim Kundum for years, thanks to his wonderful contacts.
We, the Axim Development Network (NADEV), would like to issue a strong warning to the Mushroom Youth Wing led and sponsored by Madame Afeku and its organizers to refrain from further attacking the character and organize any form of subsequent demonstrations without merit because Nana Nkwantabisa is not a coward to gnaw at her words.
It is now clear that whoever fueled this pointless press conference has a hidden agenda to sweep this financial malfeasance under the rug and bury the truth forever using the innocent young people she couldn’t use both her office to Minister and Member of Parliament to facilitate and help them obtain jobs and other opportunities in which to venture.
We therefore ask Nana Nkwantabisa to continue to stand firm on the truth in this matter, as we young people take pride in her courageous and truthful way of life by defending a rumor of unknown cash spending on the people of Axim.
Legally, this group also erred because the upper and lower traditional councils do not officially know about your existence, according to the records, and should reject your simple hate petition submitted to the president (AG) of the upper traditional area of Axim. as soon as possible. as possible.
We encourage him to come up with strong defensive measures rather than joining these innocent souls who serve as apostles to artificially decorate his wounds.
We respectfully request the two Supreme Chiefs, Upper and Lower Axim, to thoroughly investigate this matter so that peace reigns, as did Awulae Agyefi Kwame II, Supreme Chief of the traditional area of Nsein, who took his distances from the rot which Madame Afeku tried to defend herself.
Thank you
Thank you for your attention.
