Nana Addo donating a token to father of the late Sadiq

The Standard bearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo has warned that the death of the 30 year old supporter of the party, Abubakar Sadiq the 6th of this month, should be the last of such violent and unfortunate incident in Ghana’s democracy and intra-party misunderstanding. 


According to him, the NPP believes in the tenets of democracy for which reason disagreements should not lead to such unfortunate occurrence. 

Nana Akuffo Addo gave the warning when he visited the family of the late Sadiq when he called on them at Saabo Zongo in the Asawase Constituency in Kumasi today, exactly one week after the incident, to console them on the sudden demise of the young man.

 Nana Akuffo Addo noted that even though Sadiq’s death could be one of the ways of Allah, it should as well be considered as his personal sacrifice for the good of the party and the nation. 

The NPP Standard bearer appealed to the family and loved ones of the deceased not to retaliate the circumstance of his demise.

 Nana Akuffo Addo explained that he was not in Ghana when the incident occurred on that Friday and when he returned, he had to help to resolve the ongoing wrangling within the party, hence his inability to call on the family earlier than now.

 He disclosed that he will be outside Ghana when the final funeral rite is performed for the late Sadiq on Sunday, the 22nd of this month.

 It was for this reason that he decided to call on the family to express his deepest sympathy and also mourn with them on the sad occasion. 

He donated a cash of two thousand 500 Ghana Cedis to the father, also called Abubakar Sadiq and the family. 

Nana Akuffo Addo was accompanied by the 3rd National Vice Chairman of the NPP, Frederick Freduah Anto, the National Women’s Organizer, Afisa Otiko Djaba, the immediate past General Secretary of the party, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, the MP for Kwadaso, Dr. Akoto Afriyie among other party faithful. 

The father, Mr. Sadiq thanked Nana Akuffo Addo for the show of solidarity in this time of the family’s bereavement. 

He said death is inevitable and could catch up with man at any point in time in any circumstance.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
