The Mayor of Kumasi, Richard Ofori Agyemang, popularly known as Zuba, has revealed that he relied heavily on financial support from his in-laws during the eight years his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), was in opposition.
According to Zuba, who also serves as the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC, he considers himself fortunate to have received consistent support from his mother-in-law. "The truth of the matter is that, for the eight years I was in opposition, most of the time it was my mother-in-law who was taking care of me," he said during an interview on Nhyira FM. "Even the car I brought here, was bought for me by my in-law.
I'm very lucky to have access to the resources of my in-laws," he added.
Meanwhile, Zuba has denied allegations that he attempted to facilitate the illegal removal of seized excavators held by the Ashanti Regional Forestry Commission, insisting that his actions were well-intentioned.
