NDC is noted for developing Ashanti Region — Prof. Arthur

Dean Faculty of Applied Sciences and Mathematics Education with the Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) has opined on the voting pattern of some electorates in the country.

Prof. Yarhands Dissou Arthur, therefore, admonished Ghanaians to desist from voting for the two main political parties, especially the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

“If the people in the Ashanti Region, especially those in Oforikrom, Nhyiaeso, Bantema Asokwa, and Kwaadao want development in their respective constituencies like that of Asawase, they should vote for NDC.

“The NDC has the wherewithal to develop Kumasi so if the people in the Ashanti Region want development, then NDC is the obvious choice,” Professor Arthur said on Angel FM morning show on March 21.

Prof. Yarhands Dissou Arthur also took a swipe at Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for ordering the reopening of the Kejetia market which was closed down due to a fire outbreak.

"I strongly believe the Vice President is doing politics with the traders. What informed his decision all is well, so the market should be opened for businesses. It is political!', he told the host of the show Kwame Tanko.

The Vice President, after visiting the Kejetia market, also announced government plans to support affected traders who lost their wares worth millions of Ghana cedis.
