The Okyenhene of Akyem Abuakwa, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin has slammed those insulting the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo over the harsh economic conditions, and called them uncivilized villagers, witches/wizards.
He made these comments On Sunday, October 23, 2022 at the inauguration of Archdeaconry Service held at the St. Martin Anglican Church in Kyebi in the Abuakwa South Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The highly revered king of Akyem Abuakwa explained that the President has done a lot to help Ghanaians and thus can’t understand the recent criticism poured on the President.
He added that Ghanaians must appreciate the efforts made by the president which have contributed significantly to the development of the country. He mentioned the Free SHS and other working policies Akuffo-Addo’s administration introduced.
The Okyehene further attributed the economic hardships currently experienced by Ghanaians to global recession which Ghana has equally been hit with.
We must appreciate the feat of the President and show him appreciation for what he has done for Ghana. We must defend and protect him”.
Those insulting the President are children of villagers. They are uncivilized. No well-nurtured person will insult an elderly. If you were raised in the Church you will not insult an elder. If you are not a villager then you may be a witch or wizard. Okyehene remarked.
Not all will like you. Even Jesus Christ was crucified. It won’t bother me if they speak with sincerity but when you speak with hate, witchcraft, and enviness, you must be careful because one day !one day ! one day! one day! One day ! truth will overcome evil lies and envy. The Okyehene admonished the President.
Okyehene’s comments have infuriated the public at a time where majority of Ghanaians’ living standards have deteriorated.
He argued further that the President’s fight against galamsey is unprecedented
Politicians want votes. Nobody will put his presidency on the line for the fight against galamsey. All that politicians like are votes but for him (President Akufo Addo) he doesn’t care about votes but the welfare and wellbeing of the voter is paramount to him, said the Okyehene.
