Tetteh Quarshie is from Osu not Mampong Akuapem - GaDangme Council replies Akufo-Addo

The GaDangme Council, a group that seeks to represent the interests of the GaDangme people, has debunked a claim by President Akufo-Addo that Tetteh Quarshie, the pioneer of cocoa farming in Ghana, was from Mampong in the Eastern Region.

He also mentioned that Tetteh Quarshie was from the Eastern Region.

“The claim that Tetteh Quarshie hailed from Mampong lacks historical veracity and validity.

“The claim that Tetteh Quarshie hailed from Mampong lacks concrete evidence and is inconsistent with the established historical narrative.

In his 67th Independence Anniversary Speech at Koforidua in the Eastern Region, our President made an unfortunate statement claiming that Tetteh Quarshie, a prominent figure in the history of Ghana, hailed from Mampong in the Eastern Region rather than Osu.

Furthermore, the claim that Tetteh Quarshie hailed from Mampong lacks concrete evidence and is inconsistent with the established historical narrative.

In conclusion, the claim that Tetteh Quarshie hailed from Mampong lacks historical veracity and validity.
