Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, has counseled Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to guarantee openness and thorough policy communication in order to gain the electorate’s trust in his capacity to lead.
The Asantehene emphasized that the Vice President had an obligation to explain his plans for building on the achievements of the present NPP government, given the continuous nature of development.
In order to maintain the confidence of Ghanaian voters, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II emphasized the importance of the NPP Flagbearer’s articulation of future objectives.
Additionally, he urged the Vice President’s advisors to provide strong guidance and support in order to help him achieve his goals.
The Asantehene said:
“…What matters is for you to let Ghanaians know that if they follow him if he is elected president, he can make changes for Ghana to grow. He should accord Ghanaians due respect and carefully outline his policies for Ghanaians to know what he wants to bring on board.
“If you continue making known and explaining the policies you want to bring on board if elected and if they are true and God permits and Ghanaians listen and give you the nod, I am sure you will do them for Ghana to grow for us. Other parties want to govern so let us understand your policies well.”
“…Let Ghanaians know that there is a shortfall here but when I am elected, I will work on it. When you do things like that, they will believe you. But if you are only poised to come and rule then it will not work,”
The Vice President visited while on his Ashanti region tour.
