A group calling itself Concerned Youth of Abirem in the Eastern Region has refuted a claim made by the chief of the area that President John Mahama built the Abirem market.
In a press statement signed by its president Samuel Osei Gyasi, the group expressed its “displeasure and total disappointment in our chief for making such untrue and fictional remarks about the Kufuor-led administration in relation to the newly commissioned Abirem market”.
According to the group, the chief of Abirem Traditional Area, Obrempong Nana Akwasi Amoh Kyeretwie stated during a visit of President Mahama that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Kufuor government abandoned the market project when they came into office.
The group explained that the project was started by ex-president Jerry John Rawlings and was completed in 2006 under ex-president John Agyekum Kufuor.
“The market, after completion in 2006, was left in a dilapidated state, this is because there was a battle between the assembly and the traders in relocating the market folk from the old market to the new edifice. Upon several moves by the assembly to relocate the market got rendered futile, the new market was left in a deplorable condition till the NPP lost power in 2008,” the statement clarified.
The group said the chief narrated how President Mahama responded kindly to a request from the community to complete the project. “We the youth want to make it clear to the general public that the above remarks by the chief is a mere hallucination, contains 100% false statements and we are very disappointed in our chief on that note.”
According to the group, “the NDC and the Mahama-led administration just made some renovations and patches to the structures” and inaugurated it, “so, why then is our chief claiming the president built the market? We are very sure our chiefs, opinion leaders, religious leaders, old workers of the assembly, stakeholders and all constituents of Abirem are aware of the massive and visible projects undertaken by the NPP and the Kufuor-led administration in the Abirem area, so, it's quite flabbergasting for our chief to utter such palpable untrue statements during the President's visit”.

Nana ena edaho no. Your grandchildren are telling the truth. Why shd you lie? You lie to gain favour or money? Animguasie.
If the chief doesn't have a V8 parked in his palace investigate further into his residence, his ulterances is a sign to a V8 chief
Come on what are you talking about? Npp government completed the project and didn't commission it? But ask yourself who started the project? Whether it was small renovation or not this has been commissioned under the Ndc government and no one can take the credit for that. Why couldn't the assembly under Npp resolve the issue? Guve us a break. JM Toaso na Toaso saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Forgive the chief for given the credit to president Mahama and his ndc. He is only looking forward to see if one of the V 8 cars will be thrown to him.
Dont be phooled by politics, the people there say JJ started and Kuffuor came to complete but you guys are changing everything that JJ started and Kufuor abandoned it and JM completed it, what kind of cheap politics be that for u the youth to be soo low that u cant call a spade by its real name, JM can go and commision an airport at abirem he will still loose that seat. Thanks to Newmont Ghana that abirem has developed
Attacking and insulting the sitting president and you are not ashamed of yourself. So are you saying Kuffour didn't commissioned HIPC toilet. You are just insulting the president because your NPP is in opposition and the goodies that you used to have are no longer coming. You and your NPP will rot in opposition. Learn to respect even if you were not taught that when growing up. I wonder if you are married because if you were you will not held such insults on the sitting president.
Rosie, i dont think you know what you are talking. NPP didnt do anything on that market.Rawlings started the market and for 8 years of NPP ,they abandoned the market till MAHAMA came and completed it. if you dont know the fact, keep quite
JM etwaso dadaaaada.
That is why they made the press conference so the Chief will hear and the whole world we know how ***barred word*** John mahama is. John mahama doesn't look presidential at all,where in the history of Nkrumah did he waste his time commissioning toilets and markets, school buildings and hospitals then Nkrumah wouldn't be able to finish commissioning looking at the numerous infrastructure he did including over 300 factories in 9 years and ndc compares such a great man to this ndc thing calling himself a president? It's a big disgrace and shame for the ndc to compare a thi*f,an incompetent,visionless,inefficient,heartless, insens*tive,liar and wicked man like this ndc president to Osagyefo. Those who came out with that must bow down their heads in shame to refer John mahama with his backwardness to Nkrumah show boy.Shame on you so called Boat for defending incompetent and thi*ving government I don't know if you are at the flagstaff house doing same,then I'm telling you Aben b3bom.
Go fight your chief. What he knows, he has said it. Market was started by Rawlings, NPP abandoned it, JM came and completed it. Those who say there know what has happened in their lives. JM Toaso!
