Madam Amina Tahiru is saying she\u2019ll not oblige. As a matter of fact, she has military men today at her site, protecting it while they mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr President [Akufo-Addo], you\u2019re our uncle and a brother, we barely have about months to go but I believe you can change things around, you can do it. You pledged your presidency on the line for galamsey. Your legacy will be measured for that pledge and posterity will not forgive you if you do not do something about it now, we are pleading with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin two months you can cause a change because when it was banned, within a few weeks we realised that we were having some positive results, ban it. Get people together. let\u2019s go back to the drawing board and do things right.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Citi Newsroom<\/span>\u00a0channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kontinhene of Asuom, Nana Boadi Ampomenim Abodade III, has appealed to President Akufo-Addo to take decisive action against illegal mining and reform the sector before his term ends.
