Leader of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, has emphasized his commitment to the advancement of the Ghanaian economy and shared insights into his vision for national development.
He made this known when he visited the leadership of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) in Accra on Tuesday to outline his vision and goals for the country.
“We have realised that politicians work so hard to be elected for whatever next election that is coming so they can become president, but a leader’s priority is to build a nation or a generation, and that is my priority,” said Nana Kwame Bediako.
“These are my core interests. These are what I stand for. And I know that most of you have been promised based on political campaigns. I like to say to Ghana that I don’t make promises, but one thing I can assure this nation is that I have a purpose that will benefit the citizens of this nation,” he indicated.
Cheddar outlined his ambitious plans for his presidency, stating that his initial focus would be on spearheading a regional industrial revolution across all 16 regions of the country.
“From where I sit in the business world, the only city that is fully active and economically viable is Accra. So there are 15 regions that we can develop,” the New Force leader said.
“Every region in this country is supposed to have a purpose and to have access to its resources, both human and mineral resources,” he said, adding, “I am not saying that current and past governments have not thought of this, but it has not been done in a way that we can say that we have 15 viable regions that are contributing to our economy.”
He emphasized that this policy would ensure that each region could harness its human and natural resources effectively, directing them towards its own development objectives.
