Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>President Akufo-Addo\u2019s Senior Advisor, Mr Yaw Osafo-Maafo, has apologised for saying Asantes were not part of Ghana\u2019s independence struggle, which, he noted, was led by the Akyems.<\/p>\n

The apology follows the leakage of a tape on which he is heard making the ethnocentric comment while having a conversation with some colleagues. The former Finance Minister issued a statement on Friday, 1 July 2022, saying the \u201ccomment was never intended to stir up ethnic tensions between Akyems and Asantes\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEthnic tension is not a thing I want for our country or the NPP\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the nature and circumstances of the discussion, I concede that I erred,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, therefore, wish to offer my unqualified and sincere apologies for these comments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

According to him, his \u201cmany years of public service creating divisions is not a thing I will seek to do for a country that I love and spent many decades serving as a public officer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond party politics, I will continue to share a common objective and vision for the country, even if the pathway to getting there might differ.\u201d This is the second time Mr Osafo-Maafo has been caught on tape making ethnocentric comments.<\/p>\n

The first incident happened in February 2015, when Mr Osafo-Maafo was captured on tape saying that even though about 90 per cent of Ghana\u2019s natural resources are concentrated in mainly Akan-speaking regions of the country, it is people who come from regions without resources who were governing \u2013 at the time.<\/p>\n

The comment was contained on an audiotape secretly recorded as Mr Osafo-Maafo addressed some party members ahead of the 2016 general elections. Mr Osafo-Maafo, who spoke the Twi language punctuated with some English, was heard bemoaning why Akan-speaking people, whose regions are rich with natural resources, are not the ones at the helm of managing those resources.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026You have all the resources, but you have no say in the management of your resources and that is what is happening. Your development depends on the one who has no resources,\u201d he said, cautioning: \u201cYou can\u2019t say this openly,\u201d except among Asantes. \u201cWe should protect ourselves, we should protect our income. No one who is the source of income, the source of revenue, the source of resources allows another person without those resources the chance [to rule over them]. It\u2019s never done anywhere in the world. In the world over, it is the group with the most resources that rules and not the other way around,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In his estimation, as reported at the time, \u201c86.5 per cent of resources in Ghana come from five regions: Brong Ahafo, Ashanti, Eastern, Western, and Central. This is where 86 per cent of the resources of Ghana come from. \u2026 And the oil was also discovered in the West. It will change the formula to about 90 per cent. We cannot ignore these five regions. We should not.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, clarifying the comment to the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Friday, 20 January 2017 during his vetting as Senior Minister-designate, Mr Osafo-Maafo said: \u201cThis is one of those distorted \u2018cut-and-paste\u2019 statements\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the Chairman of the Council of Elders of the NPP in the Eastern Region. We were fighting this election [2016] on the economy and I was giving a series of lectures on the economy to various groups within the region. When it got to the turn of the Council of Elders, the regional chair spoke, Hon Hackman spoke, I spoke and I spoke on the economy, but you don\u2019t talk about the economy by starting with the resource location \u2026 I started by talking about how poorly this economy has been managed that we have gone from GHS9.4bn debt to GHS110bn debt at the time, and how growth, without oil, was GHS1.9bn and had dwindled to about 4% etc., \u2026 And I said something which I\u2019ve said in this room: that Ghana is not poor and that the resource base of this country is found in five regions and I mentioned the regions specifically because I was making a strong economic argument\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, people removed all that I said about the poor management of the economy and then made it look like I started by talking about the resource locations of this thing and put it forward and changed certain things to make me look like I was being a tribalist and it was bad, this is where I find people very mischievous \u2026 You take the whole thing out of context and make it look very tribalistic, so, I think, yes, it happened, newspapers reported something wrong and I think people should be ashamed of themselves when they do this kind of \u2018cut-and-paste\u2019 to create that wrong impression in the system\u2026\u201d Mr Osafo-Maafo explained.<\/p>\n
