The
Asantehene,
Otumfuo
Osei
Tutu
II,
has
said
he
will
back
the
Dr.
Mahamudu
Bawumia-Opoku
Prempeh
ticket
with
prayer
for
the
will
of
God
to
prevail.
Otumfuo
made
the
comments
when
President
Akufo-Addo
introduced
the
NPP
ticket
comprising
Drs.
Mahamudu
Bawumia
and
Matthew
Opoku
Prempeh
to
him
at
the
Manhyia
Palace
Tuesday,
July
09,
2024.
Touching
on
the
arrogance
tag
on
the
running
mate,
who
is
also
known
as
Nana
Poku
(NAPO),
the
Asantehene
advised
him
to
refrain
from
any
acts
of
arrogance
to
prove
his
critics
wrong.
According
to
the
Otumfuo,
although
he
advised
NAPO
in
closed
doors,
he
went
ahead
to
repeat
some
of
the
things
he
said
behind
closed
doors,
telling
him
to
stay
humble
go
by
the
dictates
of
his
boss,
Dr.
Mahamudu
Bawumia.
“I
have
advised
him
indoors,
but
I
will
say
it
here
too.
Don’t
let
Dr
Bawumia
regret
ever
choosing
you.
Serve
him
and
follow
his
instructions.
Follow
him
with
humility.
Be
obedient
and
do
as
he
says.
“Some
people
are
saying
you
are
arrogant,
and
I
was
wondering
why
they
were
saying
that
because
you
were
bred
well
with
home-knowledge.
Prove
them
wrong,”
he
counseled.
He
advised
further
that,
“Dr
Bawumia
I
leave
my
grandson
in
your
care.
In
case
he
errs,
keep
me
informed
and
I
will
rebuke
him
in
closed
doors”
adding
that,
“and
when
you
get
close,
we’ll
back
you
with
prayer
so
that
what
the
Lord
has
willed
shall
be
fulfilled
for
us.”
Meanwhile,
Kobby
Mensah,
a
Political
Communication
Strategist
and
a
Professor
at
the
University
of
Ghana
Business
School,
has
said
Dr.
Matthew
Opoku
Prempeh
has
failed
the
task
of
leadership
for
his
inability
to
control
his
emotional
environment.
Any
leader
that
fails
to
control
his
control
emotional
environment
when
overwhelmed
with
emotions,
according
to
the
Political
Communication
Strategist,
has
failed
the
task
of
leadership.
“I
thought
that
when
he
was
overwhelmed
with
emotions,
he
could
not
control
it.
But
leadership
asks
that
if
you
are
overwhelmed
with
emotions,
you
have
to
have
the
emotional
intelligence
to
deal
with
it.
If
you
are
a
leader
and
you
can’t
control
your
emotional
environment,
you
have
failed
the
task
of
leadership,”
he
said
on
Ghana
Tonight
on
TV3
Tuesday,
July
09,
2024.
Professor
Mensah’s
comments
come
on
the
back
of
a
statement
made
NAPO
during
his
unveiling
to
the
public
as
Dr.
Bawumia’s
pair
at
the
Jubilee
Park
in
Kumasi.
The
posture
and
tonation
of
the
Manhyia
South
lawmaker,
according
to
the
Professor,
proved
his
critics
right
with
the
arrogance
tag
on
him.
“I
can
boldly
say
that
if
the
history
of
Ghana
is
told
from
1957,
we
have
never
had
a
president
that
has
helped
Ghana
more
than
Nana
Akufo-Addo.
I
mean
from
1957,
even
including
your
Kwame
Nkrumah,
none
of
them
has
protected
Ghana
and
developed
the
country
more
than
Nana
Akufo-Addo,”
NAPO
had
said
in
Twi.
