Akyems have \u201ccaptured\u201d Ghana under the Presidency of Nana Akufo-Addo, veteran musician Gyedu-Blay Ambolley has observed when he spoke to Nana Kwesi on Class91.3FMs\u2019 The Big Show on Saturday, 30 November 2019.<\/p>\n
According to the afro-jazz musician, the government of Ghana\u2019s first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, was a motley of cultural and ethnic diversity, but the same cannot be said of the Akufo-Addo administration.<\/p>\n
\u201cGhana is a people of different cultures, different tribes and everything\u201d, he told Nana Kwesi, recalling: \u201c[During] Kwame Nkrumah\u2019s time, all the tribes were part and parcel of the ministers and all that \u2013 you\u2019ll find an Ewe man in there, a northerner in there, so-and-so in there \u2013 but right now, it looks like the thing has been shifted\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s like it\u2019s a tribe that has captured the power\u201d, Ambolley pointed out, adding: \u201cSo, everything is being diverted and given to the people of the same tribe\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you do that, what does it mean?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n When Nana Kwesi demanded to know the specific ethnic group he was referring to, Ambolley said: \u201cIt\u2019s where the President is from; I mean the Akyem side\u201d. \u201c<\/p>\n \u201cEverything is Akyem, everything is Akyem\u201d, Ambolley complained, saying: \u201cBut Ghana is not only Akyem, so, we need to really sit down because if you\u2019ve been given a mandate of four years and things like that, what is going to happen after the four years or what are you going to leave behind because if look at the age of the President, he doesn\u2019t have so many years in front of him, so, what is he going to leave behind?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Source: Classfmonline<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n
