Some New Patriotic Party (NPP) executives in the Evalue Ajomoro Gwira constituency <\/span><\/span>have called on party members and the general public to ignore calls for the removal of the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gas Company, Dr Ben Asante.<\/p>\n In a statement issued Tuesday, November 1, the executives stated that they have been impressed with the work of Dr Asante and find calls for his removal ludicrous.<\/p>\n The party executives added that under Dr Asante\u2019s leadership, Evalue Ajomoro Gwira <\/span><\/span>has benefitted tremendously in terms of development and job opportunities for its indigenes.<\/p>\n \u201cGhana Gas is now a household name in our Constituency due to the visionary leadership<\/span> of Dr <\/span><\/span>Ben Asante in decentralizing opportunities for the three Nzema Districts in terms of jobs, CSR <\/span><\/span>projects and recognition. This was not the case prior to 2017.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt is very worrying for a true party person to call for the head of Dr Ben Asante just on<\/span> the bases <\/span>that he is not an Nzema. <\/span><\/span>The NPP does not believe in tribalism and we urge the president to disregard this call.<\/span><\/span> Below is the full statement by Executives of the Evalue Ajomoro Gwira<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n DISREGARD CALLS FOR THE REMOVAL OF DR. BEN ASANTE AS <\/span>GHANA GAS CEO<\/span><\/span> Executives of Evalue Ajomoro Gwira <\/span>(EAG) have observed with great concern recent <\/span>unwarranted calls for the sacking of Dr Ben Asante as CEO of Ghana Gas by a countable section <\/span>of NPP Youth in Ellembelle.<\/span><\/span> What is more worrying is the grave disrespect these youth showed to Hon Kennedy Agyap<\/span>ong, <\/span>the Board Chairman of Ghana Gas, Hon Freddy Blay, the Board Chairman of GNPC, Hon Catherine <\/span>Afeku, MMDCEs and Awulae Amihere Kpayinli II at the grand durbar of the climax of Atuabo <\/span>Kundum festival at Atuabo on Sunday, 30th October 2022.<\/span><\/span> After several<\/span> hours of engaging party leadership of our neighbour Ellembelle Constituency, the <\/span>youth still went ahead to demonstrate, which nearly marred the beauty of the festival.<\/span><\/span> This is alien to Nzema NPP and must be condemned.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Evalue Ajomoro Gwira Constituency<\/span> has had her fair share of CSR projects, recruitments, <\/span>scholarships, internship and national service opportunities under the leadership of Dr Ben Asante <\/span>with support from our former MP, Hon Catherine Abelema Afeku. <\/span><\/span>Support for traditional authorities since 2017, especially in the conduct of quarterly traditional <\/span>council meetings, and Kundum festival celebrations is worth mentioning.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Ghana Gas is now a household name in our Constituency due to the visionary leadership<\/span> of Dr <\/span><\/span>Ben Asante in decentralizing opportunities for the three Nzema Districts in terms of jobs, CSR <\/span><\/span>projects and recognition. This was not the case prior to 2017.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n It is very worrying for a true party person to call for the head of Dr Ben Asante just on<\/span> the bases <\/span>that he is not an Nzema. <\/span><\/span>The NPP does not believe in tribalism and we urge the president to disregard this call.<\/span><\/span> We, therefore, condemn in no uncertain terms, the call from these so-called concerned Ellembele <\/span>NPP youth and dissociate ourselves from it.<\/span><\/span> In terms of recruitmen<\/span>t, our Constituency can now boldly count of more than ten people <\/span>recruited by Dr Ben Asante as CEO since 2017. Not a single person from the Constituency was <\/span>recruited previously. There are still young men and women from the Constituency who have <\/span>been inter<\/span>viewed and are waiting for their letters.<\/span><\/span> Before Dr Ben Asante was made CEO, no one, not a single person from Gwira held an officer <\/span>position with the company. As we speak, we have officers from Gwira state in respectable <\/span>positions at Ghana Gas. As execut<\/span>ives, we are aware of plans by Dr Ben Asante to recruit more <\/span>of our youth.<\/span><\/span> Ghana National Gas Company under the leadership of Dr Ben Asante is currently in the process<\/span> We are also grateful of the personal financial and human support to the party during 2020<\/span> Recently, Axim Government Hospital<\/span> received modern theatre equipment from Ghana Gas <\/span>worth one million Ghana cedis to help boost quality health care delivery and augment <\/span>the government\u2019s efforts in the health sector under the leadership of Dr Ben Asante.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Ghana Gas constructed and commissione<\/span>d a mechanized borehole at Gwira Eshiem, built <\/span><\/span>culvert bridges and concrete pads on the Fantekrom<\/span> \u2013<\/span> Nuabesa feeder road. <\/span><\/span>Dr Ben Asante has given approval to some students from the Constituency on Ghana Gas <\/span><\/span>scholarship scheme. <\/span><\/span>Students from the Constituency are not left out with National service and attachment <\/span><\/span>opportunities. We have been assured this year the number will<\/span> increase.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n We are even shocked to the bone at the behaviour of these youth in Ellembelle after all the <\/span>projects, recruitments and opportunities given them. For someone who has shown total <\/span>unflinching support to us, we can only be grateful to him and pra<\/span>y for long life and good health <\/span>to continue to do more for us.<\/span><\/span> We join our NPP brothers and sisters in Jomoro Constituency t<\/span>o reject calls for his removal and<\/span> Dr. Ben Asante must indeed STAY<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some New Patriotic Party (NPP) executives in the Evalue Ajomoro Gwira constituency have called on party members and the general public to ignore calls for the removal of the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gas Company, Dr Ben Asante.
