The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has advised the former president of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama to confess the mistakes that led to his dethronement before revealing what he has in stock for Ghanaians when voted to power.

The King of Asante reminded him and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) contingent that the race to govern the country is concord hence the need to refrain from abusive words and make their campaign message influential for the citizens to decide.

 

 

“I know you have been president before and is looking forward to contesting in the upcoming elections to win back the seat,” Otumfuo reflected.

“I advised you some time ago to make sure that what led to your defeat will not be repeated this time around. I told you personally that the people voted you out because of hunger.

"When you were presented as the flagbearer and you came to see me, I enquired from you that have you learned from yesterday’s lessons. Remember that Nana Akufo Addo wants to retain his seat and is on campaign preaching his good works to the people.

 

 

“You have revealed a few projects you embarked during your time as the president of Ghana and what you intend to do. Make sure you admit your mistakes to Ghanaians before revealing what is ahead.

The flagbearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama paid a courtesy call to Manhyia on Wednesday, August 27, 2020 to present his running mate, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang to the Asantehene. They called for support, guidance, and counseling in the journey ahead.

 

 

The Asantehene reflected on the former functions of Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang and commended her to do same in the position as running mate to John Mahama. He charged the former Minister of Education and flagbearer of the party to uphold peace as the election month looms.

“This race is not about chaos and conflicts. It's all about the welfare of the country which will be decided by Ghanaians on December 7.

 

 

"I have known Naana Opoku Agyemang during her time at the university before she was appointed as the Minister of Education. She served Ghana with her best during her term and I expect her to live up to the task of why she was chosen as running mate.

"Do not abuse anyone with words. Just make your message distinct to the people. December 7 will decide and remember that it is God who crowns a king; He only knows every thought. I am ready to counsel both of you whenever the need arises.”

 

 

Otumfuo Osei Tutu finally reminded that the race to power in 2021 between the two main political parties is Ghanaians right to decide therefore convincing them is key. He scolded John Mahama for abandoning Manhyia when he was out of power and fueled him with guidance to pay regular visits with his contingents.

“You don’t need to be in power before you pay me a visit. Even when you are out of power, it is required to pay a courtesy call.

 

 

“The competition is about who can convince Ghanaians with what they have done during their time to be able to decide on who to vote for when the time is due."
