The Western Nzema Youth League, led by Dr. Patrick Ekye Kwesie, has taken matters into its own hands and is petitioning the president to stop the sale of Busua Beach Resort to Bryan Acheampong.

This bold move by the Youth League is a call to action for all of us to unite and speak up against this detrimental decision. As a community, we cannot afford to stand by and watch our beloved Busua Beach Resort fall into the wrong hands.

The Busua Beach Resort has been a staple in our community for decades, providing a source of income and bringing tourists to our beautiful region. It is a place that holds great cultural and historical significance to the people of the Western Region, and it would be a tragedy if it were to be sold to a private owner.

Not only does this proposed sale threaten the livelihoods of the locals who depend on the resort for employment, but it also poses a threat to the environment. The Busua Beach Resort is situated on a pristine and ecologically sensitive coastline, and its sale to a private owner could result in irreversible damage to the delicate ecosystem. The sale is a betrayal of Kwame Nkrumah, Mr. Dadson, and the makers of Ghana's hospitality sector.

This is why the Western Nzema Youth League, under the guidance of Dr. Patrick Ekye Kwesie, has taken it upon itself to petition the president to stop this sale. As the voice of the youth and future generations, they understand the importance of preserving our natural resources for the benefit of all.

The sale of Busua Beach Resort to Bryan Acheampong, a controversial figure with a questionable track record, raises serious concerns. It is our duty to ensure that our community is not exploited for personal gain by those in positions of power.

Moreover, as a youth-led organization, the Western Nzema Youth League is setting a prime example of civic engagement and activism. They are showing us that it is possible to initiate change and stand up for what we believe in, no matter how daunting the task may seem.

We must also commend Dr. Patrick Ekye Kwesie for his leadership and dedication to the cause. As a renowned community leader and advocate, he has always been a staunch defender of the rights and interests of the people of Western Nzema. His efforts in leading the Youth League's petition demonstrate his unwavering commitment to the community. This alleged sale will bring about job losses and inconveniences that we can't bear.

In conclusion, the Western Nzema Youth League's petition to the president is a call to action for all of us to protect our community and its resources.

We must stand in solidarity and urge the president to intervene and stop the sale of Busua Beach Resort to Bryan Acheampong. Let's unite and show that the voices of the people cannot be ignored. Our community's future is in our hands, and it's time to take a stand.
