Be Real to Ghanaians; Asantehene Advises Bawumia
Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has advised the Vice President and the 2024 Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to make realistic promises to Ghanaians in his quest for power in the upcoming general elections.
According to the King, he will win the trust of the populace by making feasible and reasonable promises.
“I will support you with prayers. Make your message comprehensive because there are other competitors and be real in your promises. In that way, people will believe you can do it. No government can do entire the work. Others will come and continue from where you left off.
“Let Ghanaians know where you left off with Nana Akufo-Addo and let Ghanaians know where you intend to continue to. Let the people know your shortfalls and tell them you will continue from there. By that, Ghanaians will gain trust in you. If you fail to acknowledge your shortcomings, they will mark you down by that.”
Otumfuo made the statement when the politician called on him to seek his blessings and direction ahead of the 2024 Presidential election.
The Vice President who is on a three-day campaign tour in the Ashanti Region was accompanied by National and Regional Executives of the party as well as some government officials including the NPP National Chairman, Stephen Ntim, the Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, MP for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, MP for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Sarfo and MP for Suame, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu.
