Some onion sellers at Agbogbloshie market have allegedly hired a spiritualist to kill the Greater Accra Regional Minister Mr Henry Quartey.
Mr Quartey who made the allegation himself, indicated that the disgruntled traders deployed the diabolical plot because he intends to relocate them to the ‘abandoned’ Adjin Kotoku site as part of the ‘Let Make Accra Work’ campaign.
The leadership of the onion sellers, according to him, took a dramatic U-turn after a series of engagement with them and both sides settled on a date to relocate them at the well-structured place in the Ga West Municipality.
However, reaffirming his determination on Accra-based Net 2 TV to make Accra work, Mr Quartey insisted nothing was going to prevent him from playing his role in actualising the campaign.
He was optimistic that divine intervention will always keep him safe from ‘evil’ predicaments.
“Whether they (traders) like it or not, we will move them because we have made an alternative arrangement for them. I have heard they have gone to some Mallam [spiritualist] to kill me.
“They are kidding. They should tell the Mallam (spiritualist) to return to his hometown because so far as God exists, nothing will happen to Henry Quartey, and by July 1, 2021, we shall move them,” he insisted.
Mr Quartey launched the campaign dubbed: ‘Let’s make Accra work’ in less than three months after he was appointed as Greater Accra Regional Minister.
The non-partisan agenda, according to him, is focused on ensuring the socio-economic development of the region.
Among other initiatives, the Regional Minister seeks to decongest the capital and make it clean, improve the drainage system.
Mr Quartey has so far supervised the removal of unauthorized traders along some major streets, the pulling down of unauthorized structures in the region.
These activities have won him the admiration of some Ghanaians.
However, Mr Quartey has been stressing that the success of the campaign should involve everybody in the region.
