« In 1969, President Félix Houphouët-Boigny brought in a futurist to envision Côte d'Ivoire for the next 100 years. The debates took place in the Ivorian National Assembly. And the minister of Economy and Finance at the time was Henri Konan Bédié. The minister of Planning was Mohamed Diawara, » Jeannot Ahoussou recalled. He emphasized that in the forward-looking study conducted in 1973 under Henri Konan Bédié, then Minister of Economy and Finance, the "labor of the African elephant" was discussed. Jeannot Ahoussou stated that this document exists in the National Assembly and at the Ministry of Planning.
« During the PDCI-RDA Convention in 1995, President Henri Konan Bédié outlined, through his programmatic speech, the 'twelve (12) labors of the African elephant.' Because he is the author of the twelve labors of the African elephant. We should not overlook the name of President Henri Konan Bédié. I, for one, say that I am the son of President Henri Konan Bédié. We must tell the truth. Because truth is one, and it is beautiful when spoken, » said the collaborator of President Alassane Ouattara. « So, the author of the twelve labors of the African elephant is Henri Konan Bédié. Those who carried them out cannot claim it. Will my younger brother Amedé say that he did the 'Y4' because he was a minister? No. It was Alassane Ouattara. We must not overlook things. Mark that well. In life, when the liar speaks, he does not know that the one who listens to him is also intelligent and understands things well, » emphasized the RHDP’s principal coordinator in the Bélier region.
« The campaign has not started yet, but we will come to see you. Just know that President Alassane Ouattara is sitting in the chair of President Houphouët-Boigny, and he is carrying out the policies of Félix Houphouët-Boigny. I would say he is one of his best students. The proof is in the highway going to Bouaké, and it will reach Korhogo. We see the bridges, the schools, the health centers, and more. All this work should not be delayed by inexperienced hands or those without state experience. On October 25, 2025, here in Didiévi, we must give victory to President Alassane Ouattara. I also call on all of Didiévi to vote massively for President Alassane Ouattara, so that the many ongoing projects in our department can continue, » said Jeannot Ahoussou.
He seized this opportunity to invite local populations and all Ivorians to promote peace and social cohesion.
