In a purportedly leaked clip, Ashanti regional Minister Simon Osei-Mensah called the people of the North irrational.
“The Northerners maybe you people don’t have sense if you get money, you just cashout, then you get up and say your region is in a mess, the northerners who have come down south how much have you send back to your hometown,” the minister is heard saying in a widely circulated purported audio clip shared by US vlogger Kevin Taylor.
In addition, the Northerners in Ghana, who ruled from 1981 to 2001, were mentioned by the Ashanti regional minister. What have the Northerners accomplished for their fellow North in Ghana? The accusation was made that John Mahama did not use the funds to aid the three northern regions after taking office; rather, he used them to construct a hotel in Dubai and start a poultry business that quickly crashed.
“The whole Ghana our property is given to the people of the north to help them, that your nonsense talks. Ashantis and Fante are cocoa farmers but how many of the children have benefitted from scholarship in the country. It is only northerner’s child who go to school for free”. He added in the alleged audio very infuriated.
The minister indicated that the people of the North always vote against the NPP during elections and accused them of destroying things they touch.
