I’m Not Eager for MP Status Now – Zylofon Boss

By Justice Dzido On Aug 2, 2018

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Zylofon, Nana Appiah Mensah, has stated that he is not enthused about becoming a member of parliament “now”, as being advocated by some youth in Kasoa, Central Region.

The long-standing charitable activities as well as his NAM Mission initiative to create jobs for the youth of Kasoa has made the business mogul the main target of the youth as their representative in parliament.

The youth of Kasoa had initiated a campaign for the Zylofon Boss with their self-financed posters on vehicles to lure him into taking the position up.

But the Menzgold CEO, in a tweet, said: “I appreciate the call but, I am not enthused about a legislative house member status now. I am committed to creating one million decent jobs in Ghana within five years. Let’s keep our gaze on that and that only”.

Mr Mensah’s philanthropic work in Kasoa is believed to be what has led the youth to suggest he contest a parliamentary seat in the area.

Mr Mensah has already promised to deliver one million jobs to the youth of the country which has sparked a massive interest in his activities among the youth in the country.

However, the youth movement are not keen on NAM1 joining any of the major political parties in the country with many of them insisting that both the ruling NPP and NDC have been tainted by failed promises of the past.

As such they will be asking NAM1 to steer clear of the parties so as to maintain his credibility that has endeared him among the youth of Kasoa.

Some supporters of the two biggest parties – the NPP and the NDC – have already declared that if Mensah declares his intention to stand, they will ditch their parties to support him win the seat currently occupied by Hawa Koomson.

Mr. Mensah was raised in Kasoa and has been championing the cause of the town as a leading figure among the youth.

The founder of Zylofon Media is believed to be constructing a new palace for the chief of Kasoa and also training some of the youth to be able to take up jobs in factories he wants to construct in the area.
