Otumfuo Blesses Nana Akufo Addo

Asantehene, Otumfuor Osei Tutu II has given his blessings to flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the November polls.

“I pour my blessings on you. Go forth, and when you become successful, implement these policies you have outlined for the wellbeing of Ghanaians. All we are looking for in Ghana is progress and development. It is not about violence or insults,” he added. Otumfuo made the blessing when Nana Akufo-Addo paid a courtesy call on him and the Asanteman Council, at the Manhyia Palace yesterday [Thursday] as part of the NPP flagbearer’s tour of the Ashanti Region.

The NPP flagbearer is currently on a five-day campaign tour of the party’s political stronghold. Nana Addo has been on a campaign tour for some weeks now. Nana Addo has so far been to the Eastern, Central and Brong Ahafo regions where he had a number of chiefs endorsing him for the presidency. Otumfuo Osei Tutu II also urged the NPP flagbearer, and his people to ensure a peaceful campaign.
