The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has commended the Vice President and NPP presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for running a decent campaign.
Dr. Bawumia, who rounds up his campaign for Saturday’s election today, was at the Manhyia Palace to express gratitude to the Asantehene for his wise counsel to him and encouragement ahead of his final rally in Accra.
Addressing Dr. Bawumia, Otumfuo applauded him for sticking to issues throughout his interaction with Ghanaians and also extended his blessings upon Bawumia and his Running Mate, Matthew Opoku Prempeh ahead of Saturday’s election.
“I thank you for coming back here as you are about to end the campaign…Before you started, you were here to inform me about your decision to contest for President and before you started your campaign, you were here again to inform me and seek my blessings.”
Otumfuo recalled, prior to the commencement of the campaign, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia assured him he would run a decent campaign of telling Ghanaians the good works of the New Patriotic Party and his policies for the nation.
“I’m happy that you have done exactly what you assured me you’ll do. I thank God that you have completed your campaign successfully in all the 275 Constituencies. The rest is in the hands of God.”
The Asantehene further urged Dr. Bawumia to remain steadfast in God saying “my son, remain faithful in God because it is God who installs Kings. You have done your part to sell what the party has done for Ghana and what you also want to do to continue”.
The Asantehene prayed for Dr. Bawumia stating “I have already blessed you. As you are here, I will bless you again. I urge you to place your affairs in the hands of God, for God’s power to manifest”.
Dr. Bawumia was accompanied by his Running Mate, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh alias NAPO.
Otumfuo encouraged them to remain united.
“I want to advise you and your Running Mate that you should continue to work together and stay united. I pray to God and our ancestors to stay behind you so that whatever you are doing will be successful.”
