Ejisuhene to Alan: Yaa Asantewaa did it, you can also do it

The Paramount Chief of Ejisu in the Ashanti Region, Nana Afrane Okese, has tasked Alan Kyerematen, a former Minister for Trade and Industry to develop the can do attitude of Yaa Asantewaa ahead of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Primaries.

As part of the aspirant’s visit to the Ashanti Region in  his ongoing nationwide meet the delegates durbars, the Ejisuhene, Nana Afrane Okese II, delivered a powerful message of encouragement, endorsement and support to the former Trade and Industry Minister, who doubles as a native of Ejisu.

Drawing inspiration from the legendary Yaa Asantewaa, the chief assured Alan Kyerematen that he too could overcome challenges and achieve greatness in his pursuit of the NPP flagbearership.

Nana Afrane Okese II affectionately referred to him (Alan) as a “son of the land.” This term of endearment signified not only Alan’s ancestral roots, but also the strong bond between the candidate and the people of the Ashanti Region. The chief’s warm welcome and acknowledgment of Alan’s connection to the land strengthened the ties between the candidate and to the region’s voters.

During the meeting, Nana Afrane Okese II urged Alan Kyerematen popularly known as ‘Alan Cash’ to be resolute and steadfast in his pursuit of the NPP flagbearership.

The Chief advised him to draw inspiration from the fearless spirit of Yaa Asantewaa, a historical figure who exemplified courage in the face of adversity. By doing so, Nana Afrane Okese II instilled a sense of confidence and determination in Alan and his supporters, inspiring them to face challenges head-on and continue their efforts unabated.

Alan Kyerematen’s ongoing nationwide meet the delegates durbars have provided him with a unique opportunity to connect directly with NPP delegates from various regions. This grassroots approach enabled the candidate to understand the concerns and aspirations of party members, while also presenting his vision for the future of the NPP.

The Ejisuhene’s endorsement and encouragement during the Ashanti Region visit further boosted Alan Kyerematen’s campaign, demonstrating the candidate’s appeal and broadening his support base.
