President Nana Addo Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured the people of Kumasi that those trolling them on the issue of the Kumasi Mall are actually afraid of them.

The President was in the city to officially unveil the new multi purpose mall, which has led to Ashantis being heavily trolled on social media for being unfamiliar with a mall and exactly what to do inside.

The trolling got heated for a while, and even led to tribal battles as Ashantis and Ga’s went at each other’s throats.

But the President, unveiling the edifice alongside Otumfuo and other dignitaries, said those trolling the mall are simply butthurt at no longer having the ‘bragging rights’ to having the largest mall.

“They fear they no longer have the bragging right,” the President is quoted as having said.

He also emphasised that foreigners would not be allowed to compete with Ghanaians in setting up retail businesses in the facility.
