Tensions are mounting in Akyem Begoro in the Fanteakwa North Constituency of the Eastern Region as some aggrieved members and grassroots executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are calling for the removal of the District Chief Executive (DCE), Osman Abubakar, over allegations of misconduct.
The party members accuse the DCE of neglecting communities in NDC strongholds, particularly in relation to poor road conditions and what they describe as the exclusion of party executives from key decisions and development planning.
At a press conference, the Fanteakwa North Constituency Chairman, John Amoafo, raised concerns over what he described as worsening infrastructure and sanitation challenges in the area.
According to him, the poor state of roads has made movement difficult for residents and continues to affect local economic activities. He further alleged that party executives are often sidelined in decision-making processes, including issues relating to development projects.
He also raised concerns over the siting of the proposed 27-hour economy market, saying the decision has caused dissatisfaction among local chiefs and party members.
On the other hand, the District Chief Executive for Fanteakwa North, Osman Abubakar, has dismissed the allegations, insisting that he engages all relevant stakeholders before taking decisions.
He explained that the location for the proposed 27-hour economy market was revised by project consultants due to concerns about accessibility and poor telecommunications coverage in the original area.
Mr. Abubakar urged party members to remain calm, assuring them of his commitment to the development of the district.
