The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, says that women must be allowed to fully participate in the democratic administration of Ghana.
According to him, women are capable of managing the affairs of the state efficiently and should be given the opportunity.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu made the call when the standard-bearer of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Bridget Dzogbenuku, paid him a courtesy visit at the Manhyia Palace.
The visit of the standard bearer and his delegation was to introduce themselves to Asantehene at the start of his two-day campaign tour of the Ashanti region.
Addressing the group, Otumfuo Osei Tutu praised Mrs. Dzogbenuku for making such a bold decision and urged other young women to follow in her footsteps.
He urged PPP leaders to work hard to fulfill their campaign promises if the party wins the December 2020 elections.
For his part, the standard-bearer said the party was ready to deliver on all its promises, as it is based on truth and integrity.
“We come in peace and truth. It is time for the people of Ghana to accept that women too can work hard to develop the nation, ”added Ms Bridget Dzogbenuku.
