Musah Dankwah, Amoakohene And Others React To Afrifa’s Claim On Accra-Kumasi Express Road

Ghanaians have joined Musah Dankwah and Amoakohene in reacting to a claim by Okatakyie Afrifa that President Mahama and his government want to destroy the Ashanti Region’s economic hub by diverting commercial roads away from Kumasi.

Musah Dankwah, President of Global InfoAnalytics, took to his official Facebook page on November 8, 2026, to respond to the controversy surrounding the proposed Accra-Kumasi Express Road. Sharing a graphic that carried Afrifa’s statement, he suggested that a referendum be organised for the people of the Ashanti Region to decide whether the project should proceed. According to him, the matter needed to be settled once and for all, and he declared his personal support for the idea. He also tagged Dr. Frank Amoakohene in the post.

Dr. Frank Amoakohene, the Ashanti Regional Minister, reacted in the comments section of the post. He commended those who had spoken on the issue, describing their contributions as impressive, and affirmed that he and his supporters would not give up on their stance.

The post has since generated considerable debate among social media users, with the comments section attracting numerous reactions within hours of publication. Several commenters questioned the assumption that the express road was designed for or against the Ashanti people alone, asking who made such a claim. Others challenged the suggestion that the government’s decision to construct the road was driven by any ethnic consideration. Some users expressed concern about access to Kumasi once the express road is completed, while others responded to the debate with humour.

The exchange highlights growing public interest in the Accra-Kumasi Express Road, a project expected to ease travel between two of Ghana’s most important commercial centres. It also shows how infrastructure discussions have become entangled with regional and political sentiments.

As the conversation continues, observers are calling for transparent engagement from government and stakeholders to address concerns and clarify the project’s benefits for Kumasi and the wider Ashanti Region.
