Akufo-Addo must honour his words endorsing Alan after him – Bortiano-Nglesgie MP
The Member of Parliament for Bortiano-Nglesgie Amanfro, Sylvester Tetteh, has charged President Nana Akufo-Addo to honour his endorsement of Alan Kyerematen in 2007.
Prior to the 2008 general election, the then-candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, in his acceptance speech as the party’s flagbearer, congratulated Alan Kyerematen for his support to avert a runoff.
Nana Akufo-Addo was captured on tape saying “Alan, you will follow me”.
These words, according to Sylvester Tetteh, should be honoured by the President.
“In 2007, we went to a conference in Legon. Out of two leaders and eleven aspirants, no one emerged with 50+1, and there was a need for a round-off. Alan Kyerematen stepped up and said that ‘for the unity of the party, I’ve shelved my presidential ambition. I’ll support my senior colleague. What more unity is there? Nana Addo came forward and said, ‘Alan, because of what you’ve done, it’s your turn to serve after I leave office’. Heaven and earth bear witness, and this is the time,” said the MP.
Sylvester Tetteh asserts that Alan Kyerematen is the candidate Ghanaians can accept and vote for as President, thus determining who NPP delegates will vote for.
“There are 220,000 delegates in the NPP and about 5,000 NPP supporters. The number of Ghanaians voting is about 17,000, so we will not elect a Presidential candidate to please members of the NPP. We will elect a candidate that Ghanaians will vote for. I urge delegates to ask Ghanaians who is marketable between Alan and Dr. Bawumia,” he stated.
He further explained that Alan Kyerematen deserves to be president because he has championed trade and industry despite the failures of the current government.
“Industrialization is the saviour of this country, and Alan is the champion of industrialization. In the face of all this crisis, everything tangible is thanks to Alan Kyerematen,” he said.
Sylvester Tetteh spoke to Nhyira FM’s Nana Jantuah on Kuro Yi Mu Nsem as Alan Kyerematen begins his campaign tour in the Ashanti region.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
