Tafohene: Akufo-Addo is not 'corrupt'

The chief of Tafo in the Ashanti Region, Nana Agyen Frimpong II, has said the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo, is not corruption.

The chief made the comments on Friday when Akufo-Addo paid a courtesy call on him as part of his four-day tour of the Ashanti region.

Nana Frimpong II also used his interaction with the NPP leader to highlight some economic challenges facing his community.

According to him, institutions like the Kumasi Wesley College, Suame Magazine, amongst others, which are all situated on Tafo stool lands, are not under the oversight control of the Tafo stool.

“The only notable thing here, which is still within our control, is the Tafo cemetery. Nana, when you win, I want you to help elevate Tafo. This town can no longer be classified, even as a municipality. Tafo is now a sub-metropolis. When Tafo is elevated, Ghana will also be elevated,” he said.To this end, Nana Frimpong II urged the NPP flag bearer to site ventures which will create economic activity within the town, and also create jobs for the teeming masses of unemployed youth in Old Tafo if he wins the December election.“Our prayer is for God to elect a president who is coming to work for all Ghanaians, so we can get peace. We will pray for you, so God and our ancestors grant you victory in this year’s elections,” the Tafo chief concluded.
