The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, has responded to critics who have questioned his continued presence on social media platforms.
According to him, he has no intention of leaving the online space, despite widespread calls for him to do so.
He argued that social media played a significant role during his campaign and, for that reason, sees no justification for stepping away and allowing others to dominate the space for political gains.
Dr Amoakohene further stated that he will need social media for future political activities, particularly the 2028 general elections, and therefore has no plans to abandon it.
The minister has come under heavy criticism, particularly for his activities on TikTok, with some detractors labelling him the “TikTok Minister.”
Addressing the concerns in a video shared on his official X page, he said, “What I will say is that if this platform was useful during the campaign, then it is important in my administration. If I used the same platform for campaigning, why should I abandon it now?”
He continued, “So, I am going nowhere. I will remain on social media to work because I will definitely need it again. Should I leave so that others can come and spread lies? No way. Social media users, wake up, it is because of you that Ghanaians are doing this to me.”
