Independent Presidential Candidate, Nana Kwame Bediako, alias Cheddar, says his aim to contest for the position of the first gentleman of Ghana is to help create jobs for the many Ghanaians who roam about daily on the streets.
“I am a leader and not a politician. I am responsible for social responsibilities. I care for people, I care for nature. I am in Obuasi to jawjaw with you,” he stated.
Nana Kwame Bediako made the statement when he visited Obuasi to interact with members of the Small Scale Miners Association.
What was supposed to be a small meeting turned out to be a mammoth rally as residents who heard of his presence in the mining town rushed to Tutuka Asikafoamantem where the Small Scale Miners Association office is located in their numbers to listen to his message.
Nana Kwame Bediako told his audience that he wouldn’t like to sit in Accra and talk about galamsey or Small Scale Mining, hence he had come down to Obuasi to see things for himself and jawjaw with the people in an effort to see the way forward.
“I have come here to support you to build a better economy that will make you happy. I want you to feel my presence. I am also looking at how you would be positioned to create jobs for yourselves,” he said.
The Independent Presidential Candidate further said “Let us all jaw-jaw and see how the gold could be extracted without causing havoc to the river or the vegetation.”
He stated that the majority of Ghanaians are unemployed and said if the government had created enough jobs, the youth wouldn’t have found themselves in all sorts of jobs, sometimes to the detriment of their lives.
He questioned the rationale for voting to bring leaders only for the leaders to lord their position on the very people who brought them to power.
Nana Kwame Bediako noted that the thumb was very useful to humans and for that matter before one decides to thumb print for any politician, the one should think carefully about the calibre of the person he or she is voting for.
He assured that he would continue to partner the people of Obuasi to help find solutions to their myriads of problems should he win the Presidential elections or not.
The Chairman of the Small Scale Miners Association, Mr. Kofi Adams on behalf of the association and the Obuasi community thanked him for his inspirational message.
