The acting Metropolitan Chief Executive of Accra, Mohammed Adjei Sowah, has condemned a demonstration in the Odododiodoo constituency following the purported nomination of Elizabeth Sackey as his successor as MCE.

He has since disassociated himself from the incident, and urged his supporters to respect the decision of President Akufo-Addo in the nomination of MMDCEs.

In a statement, he declared his support for all of the President’s purported nominations, and pledged to work towards the development of the country.

“We should recognize the President’s authority to nominate individuals of his choice to promote his agenda and it’s our duty to support the appointees to succeed… I totally support all the President’s nominations and commit to continue to work towards the development of the country,” he said.

Citi News earlier reported that a group known as the Concerned Youth of Odododiodoo Constituency, hit the streets in protest against President Akufo-Addo’s purported nomination of former Deputy Greater Accra Regional Minister, Elizabeth Sackey, to replace Mohammed Nii Adjei Sowah as the Municipal Chief Executive of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA).

They insist that Mohammed Nii Adjei Sowah has worked to deliver Greater Accra against all odds and has always prioritized some long-standing issues in the Assembly especially sanitation and unemployment.

A member of the communications team for the Concerned Youth of Odododiodoo Constituency, Obed Asamoah, in a Citi News interview said Mohammed Nii Adjei Sowah has performed creditably.

“Our main reason for this protest is to show our disagreement with the president’s purported nominee of the former Deputy Greater Accra Regional Minister as the current MCE as against the incumbent Mohammed Nii Adjei Sowah. We have seen in the public the report of the vetting committee recommending Adjei Sowah for the position of Mayor, and so we do not see the need for the change to be done in bringing in the woman who was the then Deputy Minister and under their watch, NPP performed abysmally.”

The official list of nominees is expected to be announced on Sunday, September 19, 2021 by the Minister for Local Government, Dan Botwe.

However, a leaked document detailing the nominees for various assemblies across the country has begun eliciting different reactions.

Mohammed Adjei Sowah, whose supporters want him to be retained, was appointed on March 24, 2017.
