We Are Suffering Under Akufo-Addo Because Asantes Voted Foolishly – Oboy Siki

The people of Ashanti region don’t seem to be pleased about how the administration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has completely disregarded them.

Almost all of them think the New Patriotic Party (NPP), especially the current administration, owes the region—which has consistently and heavily supported the NPP since its founding in 1992 very much.



Nearly every regional leader, whether political or traditional, has voiced their displeasure with the state of affairs.

The Ashanti Region’s Suame Constituency’s MP and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, received jeers in his district a few weeks ago due to the poor condition of the local roads.

Kusi Boafo, a devoted party supporter in the area, has also declared he won’t run for office if there aren’t significant development projects in the area.

Renowned Kumawood actor Oboy Siki, real name Nana Ofori Agyemang, lends his voice to the issue.



He claims that the Ashanti Region’s residents are suffering as a result of their dumb decision to vote for the NPP regardless of the circumstances and without carefully considering each candidate.

“When you talk about these things, people do not understand you. We are too foolish. The foolishness on our part is that, we vote one way. If Asantes deny the NPP their votes, this government will be removed”

“After voting for them, they cannot boast of anything”
