Odeneho & Co Gives Their Support to Chairman Asare Bediako in Regional Chairmanship Race.
A group calling itself the United Patriots (UP) is tipping businessman Asare Bediako as the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) after Friday’s contest.
The NPP on Friday May 27, 2022, elects its regional executives ahead of the 2024 elections.
This will be followed by the Annual Regional delegates Conference which will take place in August 2021.
Ahead of the regional contest, the group is advocating that the Managing Director of A-BEK Limited who is hail from Kenyase-Adwumamu in the Kwabre - East District of the Ashanti Region be the frontrunner of the region to help the part break the eight years jinx.
A statement issued and signed by the convener and leaders of the group, Odeneho Yaw Antwi disclosed that the emergence of Mr. Asare Bediako will signify a new dawn for the NPP going into the 'Break Eight'.
“The wind of change is blowing and it will not be so long for the old order to pass, giving way to the new, the statement said.
The NPP, since its inception, has depended heavily on the Ashanti Region for its strength.
This is evidenced in the just-ended general election where Ashanti regional votes alone were equivalent to the total votes cast in the other nine regions.
In view of this, it is imperative that we pay serious attention to people we elect into sensitive offices such as the regional chairman.
We need personalities who are committed to the course of improving the livelihood of party members and the people of the Ashanti Region, with track records of leadership in the field they specialize in, and people who keep promises.
Asare Bediako comes with a promise and he will deliver”, he argued
In the view of the group, “Asare Bediako increased the NPP’s Presidential Votes from 68.15% in 1996 to 83.90% in 2016 when he ended his tenure as Chairman of Asokwa Constituency. He again served as chairman of all the 47 constituency chairman for about 8year and he still remains affable and accessible
At a time when the unity of the party is so critical, Nana Asare Bediako is a perfect man to hold us together.
His levelheadedness, truthfulness, and the respect he commands are traits that are indissolubly tied to building a united front in the Ashanti region.
The Ashanti Region is now ready for a man who just does not have the party at heart but knows how to produce results and also who will speak and the masses will follow.
It is one thing having passion and love for the party and it is another thing having the knowledge and wisdom to make it succeed”
He further stated the current regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Bosiako, who was accused by the former formena NPP Chairman Akwasi Nti of bad leadership and also awarded to him several projects to him without considering any of the constituency executives resulting in the slow pace of development in the region couldn’t redeem his image after the allegations made about him.
“Delegates should not forget about the fact that the performance of wontumi during the December 2020 election was very abysmal and if not for his selfish interest, what else does he want?
It is clear he and his team want to send the NPP party to the opposition so that they can use the party for their business and leave the NPP supporters suffering.
Odeneho Kwaku Appiah who has now turned to be a saint, pretending to have the people in the Ashanti region at heart, delegates should demand an answer why the regional party headquarters has still not been built, was he part of the committee who were to see the construction of the party headquarter? Why is the chief of staff sponsoring kwaku Appiah through Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu? He will do worse than wontumi and he appears to be misanthrope and snobbish. People with such behavior cannot be leaders.
It cannot be denied money will be used to influence the delegates but my advice is that; those monies are free. Take the monies and spend it anyway, anyhow after all no delegate has benefited since the party came to power.
