Ahsan Ullah, CEO of Ullcom Group, broke his silence in a lengthy statement today (March 5), hitting back at critics and revealing the personal toll of the hotel’s sudden closure.
In a series of explosive claims, Mr Ullah stated that neither he nor his offices had been approached by Llanelli MP Nia Griffith to discuss the ongoing developments at the hotel.
This directly contradicts earlier reports and adds a new dimension to the escalating crisis surrounding the iconic Llanelli establishment.
Mr Ullah also firmly denied that the hotel is currently under administration, stating: “I am doing everything in my power to prevent that from happening.”
Crucially, he reiterated his unwavering commitment that the hotel “will never be handed to the Home Office and nor shall it be allowed to house Migrants or any other similar denominations.”
However, the statement took a dramatic turn as Mr Ullah detailed his personal ordeal, revealing: “On the evening of the 3rd of this month, my vehicle was blocked from leaving the hotel. Eventually I was forced to seek Police assistance.”
He appealed to the “good people of Llanelli and the Rt Hon Nia Griffiths MP to take a moment and reflect on the 18 months of efforts that I have put in to restore SPH to its former glory.”
Mr Ullah also lashed out at “rogue social media outfits such as Voice Of Wales” which he claims “took a dig at my Political background to further incite and anger the local community.”
The far-right group Voice of Wales has been heavily involved in previous asylum seeker protests at the hotel, which saw months of tension in the Furnace area.
He clarified his political stance, explaining his decision to step down as Deputy Leader of the Workers Party GB—a socialist-leaning party led by George Galloway—was due to his “firm advocacy of the Two state solution.”
Furthermore, he claimed a “huge rift” was caused between himself and the Party leadership after he “defended a female party worker from bullying, bigotry and sexual harassment administered by other male members of the Party.”
In a stark warning, Mr Ullah concluded that if those “tirelessly harming my person” continue, it “shall be the primary cause for my reluctant departure from SPH if that happens; which shall no doubt lead to the permanent closure of this Iconic establishment.”
The shock closure of the hotel has already prompted Carmarthenshire County Council to rule out a buyout, while local businesses have rallied around to help affected staff.
The voice if wales twat. Should day out if Llanelli, and spend his time repaying all the people, he ripped off , the lowlife
