Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar and the leader of The New Force Movement, has kicked off a nationwide tour dubbed the "listening tour" as he gears up to contest Ghana's presidency in the upcoming December national election.

Over the course of five days, he focused on the Ashanti Region, where he interacted with numerous media platforms.

In one of such engagements with Pure FM, the host asked, "What exactly do you do for a living?" Cheddar responded confidently; "I am a developer, I am an industrialist, I am a visionary, I am a philanthropist, I am a humanitarian, and I am an entrepreneur.

Go and bring someone who has all these credentials and credibility; I have it all. I have learned and seen it all. I want to share because the value of knowledge is to be shared."

During a separate interview in the same area during his tour, Nana Kwame Bediako made a bold commitment to connect the sea from Ghana's coastline to the landlocked Ashanti Region.

He criticised the inefficiency of using roads to transport containers when utilising the sea could offer a quicker and more effective option.

He highlighted the shortcomings of the existing system, where goods transported by road frequently arrive damaged or spoiled after the six-hour trip from Tema Harbour to Kumasi.

Bediako also outlined his infrastructure vision.

"I want to open up the East and Western Corridor infrastructure. I want to build power stations, and energy stations, connect the gas, create industries, and bring technology."
