Rev. Alexander Nti, a 2025 Council of State aspirant for the Ashanti Region, has made a passionate call for a change in leadership, urging presiding members to elect a youthful representative who will prioritize development and tackle the region’s high unemployment rate.
In an exclusive interview with the media, Rev. Nti expressed deep disappointment over the region’s slow progress, despite being represented by prominent figures on the Council of State for more than four decades. He believes that a fresh approach, led by the youth, is necessary to drive real development in Ashanti.
“For more than 45 years, prominent individuals have represented Ashanti on the Council of State, yet our region remains underdeveloped. This clearly shows they have not done enough. It is time for the youth to take charge and bring fresh ideas to move Ashanti forward,” he declared.
Addressing Unemployment and Development
Rev. Nti, a strong advocate for youth empowerment, identified unemployment as one of the biggest challenges facing the Ashanti Region. He vowed to make job creation his top priority if elected to the Council of State.
“My main focus as a Council of State member will be to push for policies that create sustainable jobs for the youth. Ashanti Region contributes significantly to Ghana’s economy, yet our young people are struggling. We must change this narrative,” he emphasized.
According to Rev. Nti, the region has immense potential in areas such as mining, agriculture, and entrepreneurship, but the right policies and leadership are needed to harness these opportunities for the benefit of the people.
A Call for Change
With the Council of State elections scheduled for February 11, 2025, Rev. Nti urged presiding members to make a bold decision by electing a leader who truly understands the region’s challenges and is committed to finding practical solutions.
“I am calling on all presiding members to vote for real change. Ashanti deserves a representative who will work tirelessly to secure development and opportunities for our people,” he appealed.
His call for youth leadership has resonated with many in the region, with youth groups and community leaders expressing their support for his vision. They believe that a new, results-driven leadership is needed to steer Ashanti toward sustainable development.
As the election day approaches, Rev. Nti’s campaign continues to gain momentum, sparking discussions about the effectiveness of past leadership and the need for a fresh direction in Ashanti’s representation on the Council of State.
