A senior advisor to Alan Kyerematen, Alhaji Boniface Abubakar Saddique, has extolled his virtues as a champion of Ghana's rich cultural heritage and a steadfast advocate of peace.
During a speech to chiefs of Nandom Traditional Area in the Upper West Region as part of the Caravan Campaign Tour, Alhaji Saddique drew a direct connection between Mr Kyerematen's upbringing and his deep appreciation for tradition and cultural preservation. "Alan Kyerematen is no stranger to our traditional values," Alhaji Saddique began. "His father, Dr Alexander Atta Yaw Kyerematen, was instrumental in the establishment of cultural centres across the country, beginning with the first cultural centre in Kumasi.
This foundation has instilled in Alan a profound respect for our customs and history, making him the embodiment of culture, peace, and industrialisation that our country needs." In a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra, Boniface elaborated on Alan's consistent efforts to uphold peace, citing the pivotal moment during the NPP 2007 primaries in Legon. "Alan Kyerematen has always prioritised the greater good over personal ambition.
When he had the opportunity to contest for the NPP's flagbearership, he made the selfless decision to step aside for Nana Akufo-Addo, ensuring that peace prevailed within the party.
