The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu, has revealed that former President John Mahama has confessed his regret for ignoring his advice.
According to the Ashanti monarch, all other presidents, under the fourth republic, including the late President John Mills expressed similar sentiments to him after their exit from office.
Addressing a gathering at the Manhyia palace when the President paid a courtesy call on him, the monarch urged Nana Akufo-Addo to be careful of the people around him.
“I had conversations with former presidents and they admitted they should have listened to my counsel. Rawlings and Kufuor were all here; I spoke with Prof. Mills ten days before his death and he said the same thing. Shortly after his term ended, President Mahama was here and he mentioned he ignored a number of things I counselled him on which he has paid dearly for,” Otumfuo said.
For his part, the President said he will ensure he delivers on the promises he made to Ghanaians.
“I made a lot of pledges during the campaign. We have started fulfilling them. The Free Senior High School policy will commence from September 2017. So you should know that what I said during the campaign was not political talk. Yesterday, in Parliament, the ‘Asempa’ budget became law. The Appropriations Act has been made, so there is financial provision for Free SHS in the budget. Ghanaians should know that I did not lie to them during the campaign, in order to get their votes. Whatever I said I was going to do, I will do.”

Nadaa akuffo addo has no any good track record. No wonder Ghanaians rejected him 3 times at poll! And l wonder why Ghanians made such a mistake this time. Was it becauze of his begging and prostrating for your vote? Can anything good come from a voilent person? Can anything good come from a drug peddler? Can anything good come from arrogant and rude person? Can anything good come from a person who smuggle criminals to country to train their invisible miscreants? Can anything good comes from unpresidential material ***barred word*** dwarf akuffo addo? Can anything good come from all die be die, yen akanfo, ethnocentric ***barred word***? Anyway it's not too late since everybody that voted for this criminal has regretted except the invisible hooligans we will throw him out of the presidency shortly. I am sure and nadaa akuffo addo knows that if election conducted today he will lose big time!
If traditional ruler were to be bored into power, how many would have survived such elections?
Please this is a free public advisory notice. No one should buy TCL Air-Conditioners. The product is very defective, the AC Boards are faulty and they almost resulted in my house catching fire. The 5 year warranty is a gimmick because when you raise defective concerns, Leslie and Joyce (employees) and Kumi and Philip (sub-contracted air-condition installers) give you the run around instead of replacing. I bought 2 No. 2.5 TCL Air Conditioner, dating October 2016 and either is yet to work after the 8th time switching on. BUYER BEWARE, don't be tricked by their constant adverts on MAX TV like I did
What do you think ***barred word*** syndrome meant?
