The Ada Concerned Youth Council has observed with disgust the reckless statement issued by a group calling themselves the “Concerned Youth of Sege,” attacking Electrochem Ghana Limited and shamelessly dragging Naana Adiki I into their propaganda. We condemn this in the strongest possible terms.
Their statement, full of insults, empty threats, and manufactured grievances, is nothing but a cover-up for the destructive agenda of their Member of Parliament, Hon. Daniel Kissi Bessey.
Let us set the record straight. On the 4th of December, 2024, just days before the general election, Daniel Kissi Bessey, then a candidate, was recorded at Bornikope openly declaring that when elected, he would “lead the fight to take back the revamped Songor Lagoon for the “Atsiakpo.” Salt Galamsey operators to destroy the Lagoon again . That reckless promise was not mere campaign talk. It was a direct incitement. Following his victory, what happened? Attacks on Electrochem Ghana Limited, looting of equipment, and deliberate attempts to destabilize operations at the Songor Lagoon. These facts cannot be denied.
For the so-called “Concerned Youth of Sege” to now claim that the agitation is natural frustration and not the handiwork of their MP is shameful. Everyone in Ada knows that Daniel Kissi Bessey has been at the forefront of fanning division, opposing development, and fighting against a legitimate company that holds the lease to redevelop the Songor Lagoon for mutual benefit. His destructive actions already earned him disgrace: fines from the Ada Traditional Council and exclusion from the 88th Asafotufiami festival. That is the record of their MP.
Dragging Naana Adiki I into this is the lowest point of their desperation. For years, Naana Adiki I has stood tall as a strong voice for peace, unity, and development in Ada. She has worked tirelessly for progress and continues to be respected across Ada and beyond. To try and smear her reputation with baseless accusations because she refuses to bend to cheap politics is a failed attempt. The people of Ada know her contribution and will not allow her name to be soiled by a group of political errand boys.
We want to make it clear: these “Concerned Youth of Sege” are not the voice of Ada. They are a rented crowd, dancing to the selfish political agenda of their MP. They do not represent the youth of Ada, and they cannot intimidate the true voices of progress.
The Songor Lagoon is not a playground for petty politics. The people of Ada want jobs, opportunities, and development, not chaos and propaganda. Electrochem Ghana Limited, with its lease and investment, is delivering that transformation. We will not allow an MP who thrives on confusion and his hired youth to drag Ada backward.
Enough is enough. The hypocrisy must stop. Ada will not sit idle while selfish politicians use the Songor Lagoon as bait for their ambitions.
This is the position of the Ada Concerned Youth Council, and we will resist every attempt to destabilize our community through lies, propaganda, and reckless politics.
Signed:
Ada Concerned Youth Council
