Traditional leaders at the Manhyia Palace could not hide their excitement on Thursday after they were showered with what has been described as the most unprecedented gift to the Palace by the wife of the NPP Presidential Candidate, Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo.
Mrs. Akufo-Addo glittered the Palace with gifts ranging from clothes,expensive foreign wine, food items and a fat sheep when she and her entourage paid a courtesy call on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on Thursday.
Carried by over 22 beautiful young ladies, Mrs. Akufo-Addo did not only spoil Chiefs and elders of the Asanteman Council, but also ensured that every division under the Kingdom had something to laugh about as custom and tradition demand.
The applause and cheers from the elders when the Chief Linguist of the King, Baffour Kantankrankyie asked Nananom to cheer on the entourage, were enough attestation of their approval of their gifts.
Some of the royals openly confessed that in their lifetime, they have never seen such a gift in the Palace before.
However, the rationale behind the beautiful gift, according to the NPP Planning Committee, was for Mrs. Akufo-Addo to show appreciation and recognition for the traditional leadership in the Asante Kingdom.
The Committee Members include Mrs. Adjei Barwuah, wife of former Ambassador to Japan, Dr. Adjei Barwuah, Mad. Ama Dokuaah, an entrepreneur and owner of Beauty Queen Hotel as well as Andy Owusu, Special Aide to the NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako popularly known as 'Chairman Wontumi'.
Mrs. Akufo-Addo is in the Ashanti Region for a five day tour to some selected constituencies.
She would be interacting with Queenmothers to brief them on her husband's vision and programmes for the country and to court their support ahead of the elections.

Nana beba. change is coming
Massa; this is the battle of the spouses ; Lordina Mahama siphoning cash from DKM and lutted cash from Jon Mahama to appease and set up Lordina foundation and dashing hospital equipment whilst Becky Akuffo-Addo shows a bit of creativity by saying you do not go to a chiefs house empty handed ; the question is where did Becky Akuffo-addo get the cash from; Nana Addo shall come to power and the lady will get her money back through Nana Addo ; THEY ARE ALL THE SAME POLITICIANS.
Ayayaaa e, change no agye bebeeea.
Hypocricy galore. U npp ppl were acusing Mrs Mahama of vote buying n u r doing worse. Npp
Know that it done in the open for all to see, if okra mouth Akua Donkor didn't tell us who would have known that Mahama has given her a house and cars. Moreover, Mrs Akuffo Addo is an accomplished lawyers of many years so the money is there unlike Lardona who is using her NGO to siphon money from govt and gifts from international agencies to bribe the electorates. You people must know that no one goes to a chief's house empty handed.
But this not V8 and cash but humble and moderate items. Massa if you don't understand go and burn the see.
Exodus 23:8
If it were the current 1st lady yaanom would have been all over the place 'claiming" its state funds. Nut now that its their own, they see nothing wrong!!!!! SMH!!!!!
vote buying
Where is the GII? True talk, that was why the Volta chief said during NPP time they had monies in their pocket. But NDC has brought tears! The chiefs will feed fat on donations and starve the subjects. When the monies are used to provide water, good roads and hospital, some chiefs dont like that. They want to chop right and here and damn the consequences.
