“I Will Rebuild Adum-Blue Light Stores in Just ONE Year!” – Bryan Acheampong Drops Shocking Pledge

…Eyes the Asantehene’s Nod as He Steps Up as a National Force of Power and Compassion

In what has been described as an earthshaking moment of generosity and political boldness, Hon. Bryan Acheampong, the charismatic Member of Parliament for Abetifi and a name fast rising in the corridors of presidential ambition, has stunned the people of Kumasi with a jaw-dropping pledge to single-handedly rebuild the fire-ravaged Adum-Blue Light Stores within just one year—IF the Asantehene permits him!

Speaking amid cheers and tears from affected traders during a visit to the ashes of the Eastward Adum-Blue Light structure on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, Bryan Acheampong dropped a double whammy that shook the region: a cash donation of GH¢300,000, handed directly to the most affected traders, and a vow to construct a modern 2-storey commercial complex with over 200 shops—from scratch!

“Once Otumfuo Osei Tutu II gives me the green light, the rebuilding begins. Within one year, we will resurrect what the fire destroyed—bigger, stronger, and better!” he declared to wild applause.

This statement has not only sparked hope among the devastated trading community but sent shockwaves through the political landscape. Many observers are now reading deeper into the MP’s calculated yet compassionate move—is this the early thunder of a 2028 presidential campaign?

Already touted as a top contender for the NPP flagbearer race, the former Food and Agriculture Minister and CEO of Africa’s largest hotel—Rock City Hotel—is steadily carving an image of action, affluence, and ambition.

And he wasn’t done.

In a move that cemented his image as a “Man for the Masses,” Acheampong topped up his philanthropic wave with a GH¢500,000 donation to victims of the Kantamanto fire disaster in Accra—bringing his fire relief gestures to a staggering GH¢800,000 in a single week!

While waiting on the return of the Asantehene to make a formal courtesy call and secure approval, Bryan hinted he would also engage the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, and the Kumasi Mayor to expedite plans.

“Rebuilding this structure isn’t beyond me. The real value is in restoring livelihoods. After the construction, every donation must go directly to traders to restart their businesses,” he insisted.

Power Moves or Pure Patriotism?

Whether this is a calculated political masterstroke or a genuine act of compassion—or both—one thing is certain: Bryan Acheampong is not just talking. He is walking the walk… with millions.

As Kumasi rises from the ashes, all eyes now turn to Manhyia Palace. Will the Asantehene give the go-ahead for this historic rebuild? And what will this mean for Bryan Acheampong’s soaring political journey?

Stay tuned. The storm of 2028 may just have begun in the flames of Adum.
