The Director of Legal Directorate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, has raised concerns over what he perceives as the Akufo Addo Bawumia administration's attempt to rename the Ameri Power Plant as Kumasi 1 Power Plant.
This move, according to Mr Tameklo, is seen as a tactic to mislead the people of the Ashanti Region.
According to him, the Ameri Power Plant, initially procured by former President John Dramani Mahama, was intended to address the country's enduring power challenges, boasting a capacity to generate 25 megawatts of electricity.
Mr Tameklo asserted that the renaming of the power plant is a deliberate ploy to deceive Ghanaians, particularly those residing in the Ashanti Region, where the plant is located.
He emphasised Mr Mahama's role in acquiring the power plant as part of efforts to alleviate the country's power crisis during his tenure.
Taking to Facebook on Saturday, April 13, Mr Tameklo urged vigilance among Ghanaians, urging them not to fall for what he views as a misleading tactic by the current administration.
“BAWUMIA and Akufo Addo out of shame have decided to repackage and rename the AMERI plants as Kumasi 1 Thermal Power Plant.
This is what they are planning to go and commission.”
“This corrupt, incompetent ,useless and wasteful government are determined to hoodwink voters in Ashanti region with the renaming and repackaging.”
“This administration has failed to do anything meaningful in power generation,” he posted.

@Albert, you need deliverance from schizophrenia. We are heading to 22nd century, stop your tribal dirty politics. We are talking about a president who has relegated his core duties and traditionally going about naming, renaming, recommissioning etc. is that what we voted him for? Look how he and Bawumia has plunged the nation into severe hardship and retrogression, that's what we need them to even attempt to address before their mandate expire on 6th January 2025.
… and so what.? The Ndc instigated to resist the naming of Ohene Djan an indigenous person from the Brong Ahafo because he is not from the Greater Accra region. Have we heard any Ashanti demonstrating for Baba Yara stadium’s name to be removed because he doesn’t come from the Ashanti region. The name Baba Yara is an iconic and Ohene Djan is touted as the best FA chairman our dear nation has ever had. Remember “an Ashanti can never become a president of Ghana” because they are arrogant people. These Ndc guys has never learned their lessons and they still think that they can run their elections as the Ashanti against the rest of the country. A man from Walewale is the flag bearer for the biggest party in Ghana and they still can get. Too, we live to see by his grace.
He can rename whatever he wants (even after his small, micro dcik), we will still vote npp out. period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARISE 3RD FORCE, ARISE GHANA!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Quofi, yes it's obvious that a certain calibre of people derailed in the ability to harness their God given brains and survive on propaganda, lies, dishonesty, mediocrity and excessive love for corruption are attracted to the party that you belong. That's why you're a fooI soldier and doesn't make sense in your commentary. Nobody would have had problems with this name changing it it were not the tradition of Akufo Addo who is not adding any significant new developments but renaming everything others have done.
AMERI was on Built Operate and Transfer BOT agreement with Ghana. AMERI plant is now fully owned by Ghana and VRA. The name is to be changed in line with how VRA names its power stations. So malice
is it the party that change people or people with a certain state of mind are attracted to that party?
This guy is yet to spew sense
This won't make detest Ashanti as my people but I'll always be grateful to people who helped my people . When otumfuor asked both presidents to tout their achievements in the Ashanti region, akuffo addo couldn't whiles JM was happily listing what he had done. They should take that Ameri and get it back to Accra so they know they're real ***barred word*** . Npp is going to fall come December
FOOLSOLDIERS TELL THAT DEMENTED PRESDIENT TO AS WELL DO SAME FOR KUMASI SINCE IT'S THEIR STRONGHOLD. VILLAGERS WHO ARE ASHAMED OF THEIR PARTY AND YET FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THOSE WHO HELPED . KWASIAFOUR SHAME ON YOU . MAHAMA MADE SURE HE TOOK STEPS, WHAT ABOUT THIS YOUR FAILURE OF A PRESIDENT TO ALSO DO SOME IN THE VOLTA . DISGRACED .. MAHAMA SHOULD HAVE LEFT YOU PEOPLE ON DARKNESS FOREVER BECAUSE THE NPP WILL NEVER HAVE MADE THIS INVESTMENT IN THE ENERGY SECTOR FOR YOU TO SEE LIGHT. MMOA
Why, the Ameri does not belong to Mahama or ndc, it belongs to Ghanaians. Is a national assets and president can decide whatever he want to do with it.
