Stop NDC 'tomfoolery' agenda against Gabby and Bediatuo - CVM to CYA

The leadership of Concerned Voters Movement (CVM) has cautioned the Concerned Youth of Ashanti (CYA) to stop the NDC 'tomfoolery' agenda against Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko and Nana Asante Bediatuo.

Dr. Nana Agyenim Boateng, President of the Concerned Youth of Ashanti said all the negative things being said about the Asantehene by the two individuals have contributed to the Monarch’s anger.

In an interview with Starr News, Agyenim Boateng said “a couple of years ago under the leadership of Akufo-Addo, his nephew and relatives started making some comments concerning the Asantehene and the Asantehene himself mentioned Gabby Asare Otchere Darko and Asante Bediatuo at the Manhyia Palace.

“Everything they are saying about the Asantehene, he is in Manhyia Palace but he has heard of it…so it is a warning and an advice to them.”

According to Agyenim Boateng, the two top NPP members claim that the Asantehene is involved in money laundering and tacitly supports the NDC.

The executives including acting general secretary John Boadu and Ashanti regional Chairman Antwi Boasiako popularly called Chairman Wontumi are seen in the photos attempting to make peace with the Asantehene who was reported to have complained bitterly about certain actions by some NPP members against him.

Reports also indicate that some elements within the NPP are attempting to pitch the Okyehene against the Asantehene.

The incident has sparked reactions from youth groups under the Ashanti kingdom who have vowed to hit back at critics of Asantehene.

But in a sharp rebuttal, the Founder and President of Concerned Voters Movement, Razak Kojo Opoku has indicated that Nana Agyenim Boateng the President of CYA who is the National Chairman of UFP should stop the old 'useless' propaganda and John Mahama's sponsored 'evil' agenda against Gabby, Bediatuo and NPP in general.

"The Concerned Youth of Asante(CYA) led by Nana Agyenim Boateng, the National Chairman of United Front Party(UFP) who endorsed and vigorously Campaigned for John Mahama and NDC in the 2016 general elections should stop the old useless propaganda and John Mahama's sponsored evil agenda against Gabby, Bediatuo and NPP in general", he warned.

He stated that CYA is formed to create political hostility between the Ashantes and Akyems in other to dismantle the front NPP in Ashanti and Regions and alleged that the activities of CYA is being sponsored by the former President John Mahama and her wife, Mrs. Lordina Mahama.

"The agenda for the formation of CYA is to create disaffection and political hostility between Asantes and Akyems in order to dismantle the front of NPP in Ashanti and Eastern Regions. This is a very tomfoolery agenda spearheaded by Nana Agyenim Boateng and sponsored by John Mahama and Lordina Mahama", he alleged.

He added that Gabby and Nana Bediatuo have no intentions and powers to sabotage the Ashanti Monarch.

"Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko and Nana Asante Bediatuo are not undermining and undercutting the authority of their own King and Asante Monarch. They have no intentions and no such powers and authority to sabotage the Asante Monarch", he emphasized.

He is therefore, entreating all Ghanaians to totally ignore the 'tomfoolery' agenda by the NDC sponsored CYA led by ignorant Nana Agyenim Boateng and rally behind the Akufo-Addo government.

Below is the full statement

Concerned Youth of Asante(CYA) should Stop the NDC Tomfoolery Agenda against Gabby and Bediatuo-----------CVM

The Concerned Youth of Asante(CYA) led by Nana Agyenim Boateng, the National Chairman of United Front Party(UFP) who endorsed and vigorously Campaigned for John Mahama and NDC in the 2016 general elections should stop the old useless propaganda and John Mahama's sponsored evil agenda against Gabby, Bediatuo and NPP in general.

The Concerned Youth of Asante(CYA) was formed by NDC Activists such as Listowel Nana Kusi-Poku, Henry Adubofour who is a very close associate to Lordina Mahama(the wife of John Mahama) and Nana Agyenim Boateng. CVM can proof beyond reasonable doubt that John Mahama and Lordina Mahama are solidly behind the Concerned Youth of Asante(CYA).

The agenda for the formation of CYA is to create disaffection and political hostility between Asantes and Akyems in order to dismantle the front of NPP in Ashanti and Eastern Regions. This is a very tomfoolery agenda spearheaded by Nana Agyenim Boateng and sponsored by John Mahama and Lordina Mahama.

For avoidance of doubt, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko can never incite his mother's people(Akyems) against his father's people(Asantes). Gabby can never fight and undermine half of his blood. Only the ignorant CYA led by Nana Agyenim Boateng think that Gabby is 100% Akyem. Gabby is half Akyem and half Asante, just in case the ignorant members of CYA are not aware of the blood lineage of Gabby.

Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko and Nana Asante Bediatuo are not undermining and undercutting the authority of their own King and Asante Monarch. They have no intentions and no such powers and authority to sabotage the Asante Monarch.

It is also never true that Otumfuo Osei- Tutu II specifically mentioned Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko and Nana Asante Bediatuo as the ones pitching him against Akyems.

CVM would like to entreat Ghanaians and the general public to totally ignore the tomfoolery agenda by the NDC sponsored Concerned Youth of Asante led by ignorant Nana Agyenim Boateng, the Leader and National Chairman of United Front Party(UFP).

The Asante-Akyem tribal politics never worked for the NDC in 2016 and it will never work in future elections.

.... Signed....
