Paramount Queenmother of Nzema Traditional Council in charge of development is enraged about unnecessary and frivolous claims by some faceless individuals that the President should withdrew the nomination of the Minister-designate for Tourism and Creative Arts and Culture, Catherine Afeku over allegations that she had dabbled in-fraudulent activities in the past.
In the wake of the various radio accusations, Obaahemaa Edze Nkrumah II is admonishing those behind the Minister-nominee's accusers to have it in mind, thus if they are true Nzemas, that the lat time a native of the land was privileged to serve in ministerial capacity was in the early 60s and that if by the grace of God President Akufo Addo has been merciful to give the area a Minister, they (accusers) should not turn into nation wreckers and support the designee.
The queen mother is therefore imploring President Akufo-Addo to ignore what she described as baseless accusations flying around and work with her grandchild.
"I am on behalf of all the Chiefs in Axim, the Axim Youth Alliance and all the queen-mothers, in the area pleading with President Akufo Addo not to listen to the accusers of my grandchild and work with her. Were Catherine a fraudster I would be the first to raise red flags about the issue. I know all about what they are saying and I can say on authority that there's no iota to truth in it," she told this paper n an interview last Friday.
Another group under the name-Nzemaland Development Association- is unfurling its sleeves against any individual or groups that would be impediment to the appointment of minister-designated for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Catherine Afeku.
This group, the paper learnt is ready to save the integrity of the president's nominees. In an interview with the media over the weekend, a member of Nzemaland Development Association, Diana Nyankopa Daniels said the Association is ready defend Mrs. Afeku's appointment.
She said the Association is made of all the political divide and they are bent on ensuring that she sails through as a minister. Madam Nyankopa Daniels however cautioned that should the President withdraw the appointment of Madam Afeku, the Association will organize women in the country to embark on series of demonstrations against the NPP government.

I am an nzema like you but that does not mean we all support blindly. Your fact is not correct she is not the first minister to come from our area since 1960's we have had people like lee ocran,Armah Boah all coming from the nzema area to be ministers. Second is do not try to make it look like you are the spoke person of Attibrukusu omanhene of lower Axim,Even though we all wish her well in becoming a minister from Axim,there is also some truth in the issue somehow.We know the white Mitsubishi saloon car she was using when she returned to Ghana was taken from her and the arranged marriage for the white guy to her sister in-law who's bride price 8000 cedis,akonta taking 5000 cedis the computers she sent to kumasi to give people job there and leaving young peaple in Axim with no Jobs and all those.So please as you said you will be the first person to condemn that act of immorality, be the first to speak the truth.
