A group calling itself the Asante Defense Force (ADF) has expressed deep concern over President John Mahama’s recent nominations for Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) positions within the Ashanti Region.
In a statement, the group called on the President to reconsider and revise some of the appointments following a careful review of the list.
The group mentioned the following nominees as areas of concern:
Ahafo Ano South East – Ibrahim Yamba Nelson Issaka
Ahafo Ano South West – Abubakar Sedik
Atwima Nwabiagya North – Mba Zacharia Allenbila
Bekwai – Salifu Issaka
Adansi North – Charles Kofi Ogbeh
Adansi Asokwa – Albert Dakurah
Adansi Akrofuom – Gariba Mohammed Mustapha
Obuasi East – Adwovu Kofi Williams
Tafo – Abubakari Sadiq

The group has vowed that if the government fails to take appropriate steps to address what it describes as a legitimate concern, it will stage a peaceful yet determined protest across the region to express its collective dissatisfaction.
They have also cautioned all Assembly Members to reject these nominees, urging them to stand with their communities and uphold local values and traditions.
