Social media users are discussing a political pledge to construct a sea wall that would reach Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region, from Ghana’s coast, particularly on X.
During his Listening Tour in the area, presidential candidate Nana Kwame Bediako, well known as Cheddar, the leader of The New Force movement, made the commitment.
The politician turned business mogul believes that in order to realize the potential of Ghana’s Eastern and Western Corridors to increase international trade, Kumasi’s ports will be required.
“Why are we still transporting individual containers by road when the sea could offer a faster and more efficient means?” Bediako was questioned on March 18, 2024, in a Kumasi interview with Kojo Marfo on Abusua 96.5 FM.
He cited Dubai’s transition from a desert to a coastal city to support his assertion that his plan was in line with similar initiatives that other nations had completed.
Kumasi and Cheddar have grown in popularity since then. A few individuals have questioned if X’s plan is really feasible, while others have made fun of Kumasi residents and joked about Cheddar.

Maxwell (@jhaymhax_1) mocked: “National Cathedral sef we no fit build, ebe sea Cheddar dey come do for Kumasi ei.
