An elderly woman from Takoradi has lamented about the poor state of the Western region amidst President Akufo-Addo’s statue.
According to the Takoradi constituent, the chiefs in the area are weak and if they were not weak the Western Region would have developed like that of Accra and Kumasi.
Speaking to the media the elderly woman lamented, “Apart from the market, you are commissioning while you are building a road you are not done, and you have brought a statue there, look how the place is flirty, look at the road there, who will you place a statue there what is the meaning of that”.
“Our Chiefs are weak if they are not weak, the Western region will be better than Accra and Kumasi, we don’t have anything, look at our market, we heard they were building it in a 3-story building, and they have just done it round and abandoned it like that, most of our men suffering and they have died, I will not deceive you, if you like ask, go to the New Market and go and ask”, she added.
She further reiterated, “Takoradi, we have become sad, if we talk about Ghana’s region Western Region, we are not part of it”.
Last week news broke of President Akufo-Addo honoring himself by unveiling a statue of himself.
The statue is located at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi
The Western Regional Minister Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah explained that the statue honors the president’s initiatives in the region, the rehabilitation of Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital, the construction of a 3-tier Sinohydro interchange, and the redevelopment of the Takoradi Market Circle.
Meanwhile, the above-mentioned project remains incomplete.
