2024 Polls: The New Force Leader Presents ‘Real Agyapadeɛ’ To Ghanaians At Manifesto Launch

Independent presidential aspirant and the founder and leader of The New Force, Nana Kwame Asare Bediako, has discovered what he calls the ‘Real Agyapadeɛ‘ for Ghana.

He says the country’s natural endowments need to be extracted and kept in a reserve to ensure the State generates better revenue from them than what it is currently making from them.

At the launch of his manifesto dubbed; ’12 Pillars for Economic Freedom’ Sunday, September 01, 2024, Nana Kwame Bediako highlighted on keeping the natural reserves of the country such as cooper, gold, iron, bauxite and others, saying “all we have to do is keep extracting, keep creating jobs with the people and letting them have the chance to be able to bring these things out of the grounds and keep them as reserves.”

He explained that “whenever you refine any of these, or you plant any of these, the value can be from times five (5-times) to ten or fifteen. It quadruples, it triples, it multiplies.”

The New Force leader asserted that keeping the reserves of one’s natural resources is what can be termed the real Agyapadeɛ.

“I’ve been talking about food, I’ve been talking about gold reserves, I’ve been talking about food reserves, all these reserves are for the State, they are for the nation, this is what I call the real Agyapadeɛ because you need an equity of what belongs to you,” he added.

In his explanation, Cheddar indicated that as a nation, Ghana needs an equity of what belongs to her by having a share of its natural endowments and creating jobs out of them.

He also reemphasised the need to develop knowledge on the country’s natural resources to be able to utilise them effectively.

He also explained how Ghana can harness its agrarian potentials to match the Biblical Joseph who led Egypt to store more food and sold at the lean season.

He avers “there will come a time when food will be more important than the cash that buys it. If food runs out, cash will not be able to do anything.

“We intend to take a advantage of our vast arable lands to establish a seeding bank that will give us food security for the next eighty years and create further cross-border plantations,” he explained.

According to him, “if Ivory Coast run out of cocoa they will buy from us. If India needs food they will buy from us. This will make us like Joseph, feeding the seven years of famine because we have kept the reserves.”
