Youth Leader of the Movement for Change, Duke Aaron Sasu, a fresh political initiative in Ghana, has encouraged Ghanaian youth, particularly those in tertiary institutions, to embrace and trust in the principles and aspirations of the movement.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) chapter of the Movement in Kumasi, Sasu, who also serves as the Spokesperson of the Movement, emphasized the significance of the ‘Great Transformational Plan,’ a developmental agenda aimed at enhancing the socio-economic prospects of the nation.
He underscored the pivotal role of youth in the Movement’s agenda for national transformation, urging them to align themselves with the leadership of Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen to steer the country towards progress, particularly for the benefit of the youth.
Formed by Alan Kyerematen, former Minister for Trade and Industry in President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration, the Movement for Change aims to propel Ghana towards accelerated growth by efficiently managing its human and natural resources to effect transformation.
The Movement believes that with effective leadership, Ghana possesses the necessary resources to create jobs and wealth, thereby alleviating poverty.
Sasu stressed the importance of embracing the ideologies of the Movement, suggesting that they offer solutions to the years of economic mismanagement, which have led Ghana to seek financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on multiple occasions since independence in 1957.
He expressed optimism about the future of the country under credible leadership, citing the proven leadership qualities of the Movement’s founder, Kyerematen, who is leading the Movement in the upcoming presidential race in the December General elections.
Sasu argued that the two dominant political parties in Ghana, the NPP and the NDC, which have governed the country for the past three decades, have fallen short.
He called for a departure from the country’s political duopoly and advocated for new leadership to drive transformation and sustainable growth.
Sasu highlighted the Movement’s intention to establish a strong presence in universities and urged the KNUST wing to champion the founder’s vision, recognizing that the future of the nation lies with the youth.
He tasked the ‘Yellow Army’ to fully grasp the philosophy of the founder’s Great Transformational Plan (GTP) as exemplary ambassadors.
Meanwhile, a notice shared on the Movement’s social media platforms indicates that the University of Cape Coast and University of Education, Winneba, chapters will be inaugurated in the coming days.
