A video of a group of young men, some shirtless, with tattoos and dreadlocks, declaring their support for Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, has gone viral on social media.
The video was posted by a Twitter user, @eddie_wrt, who captioned it: “The ghetto youth, who are often overlooked and marginalized, have a powerful message for the leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako (also known as Cheddar).”
In the video, one of the young men, who spoke on behalf of the others, said: “Cheddar, this morning we come in peace. We have realized you are the only one who can save Ghana because we have noticed our leaders have no plan for us. Look at the amount of children on the streets, look at the amount of people who are very talented and can help Ghana but are on the streets. So Cheddar, as for us, we are now with you, so you can save Ghana. So we have started campaigning for you so you can become our next leader. Thank you very much.”
The young men, who did not identify themselves as the “ghetto youth”, expressed their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in Ghana and their hope for a better future under Cheddar’s leadership.
They also said they were ready to mobilize their peers and communities to vote for Cheddar in the upcoming presidential election.
Cheddar is the leader of the New Force movement, a political party that he announced in January 2024, after declaring his intention to run for president.
Cheddar is a Ghanaian businessman, entrepreneur, industrialist, philanthropist, and real estate mogul. He is the founder and CEO of the Kwarleyz Group, which encompasses several brands, including Belfast City & Property Management, Petronia City Construction, and Wonda World Estates.
Cheddar has promised to transform Ghana into an industrial hub and a global player if elected as president. He has also pledged to support journalists, youth, women, and other vulnerable groups through various initiatives.
The video of the “ghetto youth” endorsing Cheddar has generated mixed reactions from the public, with some praising their courage and enthusiasm, and others questioning their credibility and motives.
