Ensure Bawumia does not regret choosing you – Asantehene Advises NAPO

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has advised Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, to ensure that the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, does not regret choosing him as his running mate.

The Otumfuo made these remarks when the leaders of the NPP formally presented Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh to the King of the Asante Kingdom at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.

The revered King admonished NAPO in the presence of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) leaders, urging him to honour the trust placed in him by his political partner.

The Asantehene also touched upon rumours of NAPO’s alleged disobedience, stating that he must work to ensure the disobedient tag does not arise.

“As a son, I have advised him in the room, but let me tell him this again: don’t let Dr. Bawumia regret selecting you as his running mate. As you go, be a good servant to him. Do what he tells you to do.

“I am only repeating what I said indoors, in humility, go and serve him. Be obedient and do only what he asks you to.

“Some have said that you are disobedient. It’s a surprise to me because I didn’t see that when I was training him. Why is it that people are now complaining that he has become a disobedient person?

“I will pardon you and say that it is not the case, but don’t let that also be the description people give you. We pray that God’s plans for you will materialize, and we tell Dr. Bawumia that I have committed you to his hands. If he offends you, let me know, and I will deal with him in private,” he stated
