He said Ghanaians now know that Kumasi has the biggest shopping mall in the country.
"The Kumasi City Mall has the enviable status of not just being the only mall outside of Accra, but it is now also, arguably, the biggest mall in Ghana and the biggest in West Africa. It, therefore, should not come as a surprise to residents of Kumasi that your compatriots in Accra resorted to poking fun at you and trolled you on Facebook and social media, when this mall opened for business last month.
"The reason is simple. You have stolen their thunder. They no longer have the bragging rights of having the biggest mall in West Africa," he stated.
He added that "As from this very moment, it is no longer “YƐn nso yƐ wƆ bi”, as I have heard some say here, but “KƐsi no wƆ Kumasi”. KCM, you do all!!."
