The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has cautioned political activists against acts of violence that will derail the peace in the country.
He noted, “we want a peaceful election and nobody should initiate violence. Just make your points well and Ghanaians will be the best judges. It’s all about issues.”
Otumfuo made this assertion when former president John Dramani Mahama paid a courtesy call on him to introduce his running mate, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang.
The Ashanti King further advised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer to admit his mistakes in his past administration and convince Ghanaians on how he intends to do things differently when given the chance.
“You have been a President before and you want to return as President. I have spoken to you a lot and I have said that if you want to come back, let Ghanaians know what went wrong yesterday. Also, let Ghanaians know that the mistakes won’t be repeated, the Asantehene said in Twi.
“When you lost the election, I said that Ghanaians voted against you out of disappointment and anger, Otumfuo added.
“And when you were re-elected as flagbearer and you informed me, I asked you whether you have looked at your mistakes in the past and how you can convince Ghanaians how you will correct those mistakes, ” Asantehene said.
