The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is undoubtedly one of the most respected figures in the country, which makes his statements profound and shocking.
It is for this reason that in each election year, politicians, particularly the presidential candidates of the two main parties, visit him before starting his campaign in the Ashanti region, where he rules as king.
This year, both Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party and John Dramani Mahama of the Democratic National Congress have visited the king in separate meetings.
On August 26, 2020, when John Mahama paid a courtesy visit to Otumfuo, Asantehene asked the former president to introspect why he lost the 2016 election.
Otumfuo advised Mahama to explain to Ghanaians the mistakes of his government and how he intends to correct those mistakes if he is re-elected.
“He has been president before and wants to return as president. I’ve talked to you a lot and told you if you want to go back, let Ghanaians know what went wrong yesterday. Also that Ghanaians know that mistakes will not be repeated ”.
When you lost the election, I said that Ghanaians voted against you out of disappointment and anger, Otumfuo added.
“And when he was re-elected flag bearer and informed me, I asked him if he had looked at his mistakes in the past and how he can convince Ghanaians how to correct those mistakes,” Asantehene said.
President Akufo-Addo is the last of the two flag bearers to visit the Otumfuo at his Manhyia Palace.
Addressing Akufo-Addo and his entourage on Monday, September 28, 2020, Otumfuo said that the president’s accomplishments over the past four years will speak for him.
Otumfuo assured Akufo-Addo that Asanteman will remember what he has done for them.
“Your good works in office will speak for you going into the election. We at Asanteman remember, we don’t forget. Asanteman will therefore remember his good deeds on Election Day. All I can offer you are prayers and blessings. “
