Actually if this useless President has gold to pave roads, he should go to his Bole village and use it there because they are the ones who need government welfare to survive. We Asantes don't need handouts or freebies to survive, we can take care of ourselves, we don't need SADA Akonfem project to live.

He should first tar the roads in Northern region before he starts talking about gold streets in Ashanti region.

Our President said "AS FOR KUMASI" is only ashanti's that live Kumasi? Mentioned Kumasi is far different from mentioning ashanti's so you ppl should reread the full statement and don't commenting over the headline.

Nobody can hide the light and true destiny of the great nation of Akan. they use all kinds of schemes and tricks to undermine or deny a proper standard to us but we shall never surrender. we shall change and adapt as like the Israelis we are the chosen people of God and he in his great design has made us diverse but unified in spirit. the ashantis like the tribe of Judah are and will remain an integral part of our being to to attack any one part we all end up feeling it sooner or later. they have succeed in turning some of our chiefs and kings against us and work for their evil ungodly agenda but we still see clearly . God has brought us into the 21st century and with that a new system of governance and state of mind based on democracy since it is HE alone who blesses the individuals with the gift of leadership wisdom and justice irrespective of status at birth. he has shown us the blue print of the way forward in the bible and other holy books and the time has come to free ourselves from this man made bondage called Ghana. just as in the Ukraine we must fight so the truth will come out , fear not the battle as they will crumble like the walls of Jericho . cast away our so called fake leaders and politicians who are nothing but cowards and like our enemies fear even their own shadows . yes God has put a million fears in their empty bodies as he who does not fear the Lord , the Lord will ensure all fears of the world will reside in him. They threaten us with superstition , juju and what have you and we say fuck you and go to hell as the divine power is with us . Yes all the tribes of Akan are fingers on the same hands and God has ordained we remain united so our strength and light will be visible throughout the whole world and universe , our time has come . everyday its becoming clearer and clearer to all children of Akan that we must prepare mentally for a battle of freedom . they come with tricks that say we must take a non Akan as our leader because its nice ? do they not think that out of 30 million Akans we can not find sensible down to earth leaders and warriors to lead our own people to our own destiny? a govt of the people and by the people is what the 21st century democracy is all about . let them continue to play with the consensus and other figures that justify their fantasy and enable them to marginalize the participation of the Akan majority in the Affairs of their own land , to marginalize us thus preventing us to afford a better standard for our people . The had of God has given them pestilence after pestilence but they refuse to let our people go , soon they will be swept away like chaff in the hurricane of fury . Long live the republic of Akan and don't you forget it as now the Fanti speakers, Twi speakers, Ashantis and other tribes of Akan are now one .

CARDINAL, the first four paragraphs are not the comment from the President but from the journalist who posted the statement. Below are the paragraphs from the President statements, for your better understanding whenever you see (") please be extremely careful wgile reading:

“The presidency is working hard so don’t allow anyone to deceive you into thinking that we are retrogressing. As I speak, there are several projects ongoing. We are constructing roads, providing water and electricity. Since I came, we have inspected ongoing renovation works on the runway of the Kumasi Airport. We are fixing instruments at the Airport to allow for both day and night flights. We have also inspected the DIHOC Shoe Factory where there are new machines for producing footwear for the military here in Kumasi”.

“However, the Akans have a saying that, the chicken never pleases the hawk no matter how well it dances. But that shouldn’t discourage us. We have noted the promise we made to Ghanaians for which we were voted into power. As for Kumasi, even if we construct roads tarred with gold, they will tell us that we did nothing,” the president stated.

“Come 2016, we will account for each one of them and surely we will be voted into office again,” he added.

I do not want to hold brief for the Prez, but a statement like that would be suicidal for the president. I have known Prez Mahama since childhood and that is not his style. I can say with confidence that either this radio station is up to some mischief or the journalist out of absolute ignorance may have taken the president out of context.

How can the Prez, claim ASHANTIS would not appreciate what he does when he has so many friends who are Ashantis? Even the Asantehene is his personal friend notwithstanding the many Ashanti NDC members we have in the country.

Ghanaweb please do us a favor by getting the original text of his speech and publish it.

I believe strongly this statement can not be true as coming from a sitting president.....NEVER!!!

I am not surprised. The is the stock of trade of this president and NDC. Has he ever said anything sensible, apart from written speeches? The last time he insulted Akyems and now the Asantes. NDC likes divide and rule. A president does not speak like a serial caller. Does he think that this tactics would safe him? His hate for Asantes is seen in his whole body. In 2007/2008, he insulted Asantes in parliament. Now he is engaging in divided and rule! How can a president be so stupid! Does he think that by insulting Asantes his govt will stay in power forever? He is using the merge resources that the nation has to uplift his northern brothers and the rest of the nation is rotting but he does not care. In has attempt to hide this open discrimination, he is embarking on divide and rule. Am calling on all Ghanaians to demand their fair share of the national cake on the basis of proportional representation. BA should fight for their equal share of the national resources as well as WR, GA, VR, ER and .... UER on the basis of their contribution to the national cake. I mean income generated from that region. If that will not be done, then like minded individuals like me demand federal system.

What is wrong if I do not want to form a union with you. Are you afraid for your region to stand on its feet? You hate Asantes to the core. If one says lets part and let each region goes alone or better still like minded ones can go together, you resort to insults. Think about this careful or look at yourself in the mirror and be honest to yourself: If K4 had said that to VR or the NR, what would you guys had said? Your guess is as good as mine. I will support any law that leads to federal system, peaceful division of the nation Ghana or one which basis distribution of resources on the basis of each region's contribution to the GDP.

Asanthene tell mAHAMA to withdraw this comment about Asantes If does this to Ahantas Nana Nketsia will rise, to Akyem the Okyehene will rise let's see the Ashantis whether Asante will rise.

Ashantes are not tribalists, they are however loud and say things as they are.
They will do anything for a good cause but will not allow cheats to have their way in our larger society called Ghana.
Let me site one example here. When Kutu Acheampong was misbehaving as president of this country, all the tribes at best, looked the other way and allowed the then president to have his way.
The move to stop Kutu Acheampong,s nonsense was started by the Ashantes, his own tribesmen. How come we turn round and falsely accuse they as being tribalistic.

What will the President say to the people of Volta region who had consistently been ignored from all national developments yet been loyal and voted massively for the NDC?

Look, President Mahama does not need the votes of Ghanaians to win power. If he needed our votes, he will not be making statements provocative to would-be voters.

A few years ago in Parliament, the then MP for Bole Bamboi, a certain Mr John Mahama, ridiculed the way some Ashantis pronounced certain English words. He was reprimanded by Ghanaians.
His latest utterances go a long way to confirm the suspicion that the gentleman doesn't like the Ashantis. It looks like his better judgement is clouded by the sheer contempt he holds for the people of Ashanti. That's no good way for a President to behave.

Let us look at the comment again:
"However, the Akans have a saying that, the chicken never pleases the hawk no matter how well it dances. But that shouldn’t discourage us. We have noted the promise we made to Ghanaians for which we were voted into power. As for Kumasi, even if we construct roads tarred with gold, they will tell us that we did nothing,” the president stated."

Did I hear "AKANS" or did I hear "KUMASI"? Though he might not mean Akans in general, you do not go to Kumasi and just utter such words...you do not even say that in the north or any part of the world, as PRESIDENT representing ALL of Ghanaian. I can say it because I represent myself. Mr. President, you owe ALL Ghanaians, not only Akans, an apology.

Mahama came to the Ashanti region especially Kumasi for one reason. He craves for the limelight. With the king celebrating his anniversary, he Mahama knows the cameras will be rolling and a millions eyes would be watching. What a best chance to ignite a failing administration in the eyes of the people! To make it linger for more time, why not rub in some insults too. Mahama, politicians who try to survive on insults have never made it. You've tried calling on Ghanaians to cease firing salvos at each other and then turn around to do what you preach against. Ashantis will appreciate the gold roads but not you and your misplaced agenda. Ashantis appreciate achieving leaders not corrupt and inept ones. You can rub in the salt anyway you want coz in the end, you'll realise your folly for preserving the meat. I wonder how you feel right now after this boobo. Nana, now you see. He came to you with a masked face pretending to be a friend. Now the soft tail of the hyena has been exposed right in front of your door steps. He insults your people and land as if they have no brains to judge what's good or evil. Let your people know 2016 is not too far for the battle if they really want a change.

KUTU WAS AN ASHANTI, BUT THE GREAT PEOPLE OF ASHANTI DID NOT SHIELD HIM LIKE OTHER TRIBES WILL DO AND ARE DOING TO THEIR FAILIING POLITICIANS. WHAT HAS NDC REALLY DONE FOR THE ASHANTI REGION TO BE PROUD OF? REPAIRING AN AIRPORT IS NOT ANYTHING TO BE PROUD OF AS AN ACHIEVEMENT. 'TANI' DRAMANI HAS SHOWN BEYONE DOUBTS THAT HE IS NOT ONLY AN ANTI ASHANTI, BUT AN ANTI AKANS. HE WENT TO EASTERN REGION AND SAID THAT THAT REGION IS THE HEADQUARTERS OF GALAMSEY.

I am no fan of the President but I must defend him in this instance. No where did Mahama state that "indigenes of the Ashanti Region are not ‘appreciative’ of efforts made by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration." He was making a general comment applicable to the whole country. He has already made statements to this effect elsewhere on his junkets, the latest being his silly admonishment that we should be optimistic. He only used an Akan proverb to illustrate his point because that's the language of his audience at the time. It cannot be said that the President was being tribalistic because he's been pretty much saying the same things in all regions.

What the President is doing is to express his frustration despite his tireless efforts geared towards the development of the Ghanaian economy. His statement, while not palatable to Ashantis will resonate very well with the other tribes (majority) in Ghana. He has nothing to lose in both Ashanti and Eastern Regions knowing that you guys will not vote for him any way. What he is doing is to attempt to bring some changes politically in these two regions. Because these two regions tend to put the other regions down, the President by such statement will win huge political points with folks in the other regions besides Ashanti and Eastern regions. The lesson to be drawn from all this is that, the Akans should stop the "Ma te me wo" attitude and support the President in growing the ailing Ghanaian economy. Whether he is from the North or wherever, He is as Ghanaian as any one of you Ashantis and Akyems. Just Support the President for the good of the country.
