John Alexander Ackon, outgoing Ashanti regional minister and acting Chief Executive Officer of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), has urged his successor to focus on clamping down on the Fulani menace, armed robbery, and illegal, small-scale mining, popularly known as ‘galamsey’.
According to him, these and a few others are the main issues confronting the region and require the immediate attention of the incoming government.
It would be recalled that over the past year, tensions between Fulani herdsmen and farmers in parts of the Ashanti and Eastern regions reached a high, resulting in clashes.
Speaking in an interview on Accra100.5FM on Monday January 2, Mr Ackon said: “The Agogo Fulani menace is there, Obuasi galamsey is also there. These are issues confronting the region. There is also armed robbery, but we did our best to deal with the challenges.”
He further stated that he had no regret serving as the regional minister under President John Mahama.
“I have no regret, because we are capable of coming back to power,” he said.

Some of these things happened right in front of your doorstep and what did u do about it, it was your tenure that Anglogold complained bitterly about security threats of galamseyers, Then again you were in the office when Fulani people shot and killed two people in Agogo, when did you realize the threat of these criminal activities, especially galamseys, give us a break, you never fought for Anglogold but watched it to collapsed leaving Obuasi a ghost town, Obuasi has the worse road network to Ksi in the whole Ashanti region, how many years ve been in public office , Massa all u know is talking, please just leave with ur shaaame
Sour, sore and sorry looser. You were not known outside your region before your party miserable election results. All of a sudden you are all over radio stations telling us how special you are, how proud you are as a ndc member, why people are telling you that you are in a wrong party and so on. Man get lost and stop the self - important n0ns*nse
Look at them still in their massive defeat denial. How can you a corrupt minister of this party for ***barred word*** tell our president to solve the Fulani problem when you were in power for 8 us.eless years? Will you people sh.t up for the competent people to work? They Came To Power By The Real Power Of The People Not Rigging Like The ndc who Took Care Of themeselves Rather Than The people. Every weapon set up by the ndc to derail the good works and forward match of the country will not stand.Wicked and evil people so said by the founder of the ndc. When did ndc thought of anything good about Ghana? Nation wreckers and anti-Ghana lo.oters.
