It Is Your Time – Sunyani Traditional Council To
The Chiefs and Queen Mothers of the Sunyani Traditional Council have openly endorsed the Presidential dreams of Hon Alan Kyerematen ahead of the Party’s Presidential Primaries.
The Traditional Council massively threw their weight behind the former Trade and Industry Minister as part of his two day visit to Bono belt in Ghana.
Nana Kwaku Sarbeng, Akwamuhene of the Sunyani Traditional Area, spoke on behalf of the seasoned politician and touted the wisdom and patience of the former Trade and Industry Minister.
“Now, the traditional council believes it is the appropriate time for Hon Kyerematen to assume the country’s leadership and advised NPP delegates to choose their candidate for the 2014 General Elections when they go to primaries later in the year”, Nana Kwaku Sarbeng told Alan Kyerematen.
Hon. Kyerematen urged the Chiefs to advise the delegates to select a flagbearer who would be acceptable to the entire country.
He urged the delegates to look beyond the party in their choice of aspirants when they head to the poll later this year.
“The country is expecting a turnaround based on a big vision to be delivered with competence,” the former Trade and Industry told the council and party faithfuls present.
Hon. Alan Kyerematen said the overreliance on the government to build industries to create jobs needed to change to a more efficient way of empowering the private sector to create jobs for the people.
He chronicled that as Minister for Trade and Industry under President JA Kufuor, he initiated the Presidential Special Initiatives (PSI) in four different sectors of the economy, which could have yielded over $60 billion a year to the country, had the NDC, successor government to the NPP, not terminated them after taking in 2008.
The Industrial expert urged Ghanaians to endorse NPP in 2024 to consolidate the progress made under the current government, including the big industrial transformation project under the 1D1F, the Business Resource Centres, producing well-rounded entrepreneurs, the Technology Support Centres providing modern cutting-edge tools and Free SHS and TVET, among others.
All these initiatives have come to take advantage of AfCFTA, which is now making people describe Accra as the ‘commercial centre of Africa”, Alan said.
In conclusion, Nananom said they expected a natural progression from President Nana Addo to Alan Kyerematen in the same way, they saw President Kufuor giving it to President Nana Addo.
They further advised Alan to improve his slogan to “Alan Cash, Aduro wo so” since there was no doubt that God was on his side.
