The Leader of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako popularly called Cheddar has urged Ghanaians to take the Western Region seriously, envisioning it as the future "Texas of Africa." This ambitious vision highlights the region's potential to become a powerhouse of economic growth and development.
Cheddar's proposal focuses on leveraging the Western Region's abundant natural resources, strategic location, and untapped potential.
By drawing parallels to Texas, known for its robust energy sector and economic dynamism, Cheddar aims to inspire a similar transformation in the Western Region. "I believe that this region is going to become the Texas of Africa.
This is where we are going to have the most industrial plants with the most minerals, the, most agro products to be processes and it is right next to the coast." "We can supply Africa and even supply the world.
We have to take the western region very serious," he said when he launched his manifesto in Accra on Sunday.
