You will hear good news this year - Agona Chief tells Akufo-Addo

According to him, the presidential candidate’s third attempt at the presidency is a good omen.

 

“...There is a saying in our custom that ‘you go before the gods three times’. Thus, when you go before them the third time, they will never fail you. This is because on the two previous occasions, the gods were putting you to the test to determine whether you have faith and patience to be entrusted with what you are requesting for.”

The chief said this when the 2016 presidential candidate called on him at his palace in Agona Kwanyako, in the Agona East constituency, at the commencement of a 5-day campaign tour of the Central Region on Thursday, June 16, 2016.

Nana Ampim Darko V added that “whoever is heading for a battle must not be seen to be wavering. With the kind of support I have seen today for you, from residents of Kwanyako and from NPP members, I am sure it will end in success for you.”

The chief however cautioned political leaders to abstain from the use of intemperate language ahead of the November polls.

“We don’t want any bad language that will bring trouble to Ghana, which will, in the end, affect us all. When you use decorous language, you end up convincing others who are not necessarily members of your party. We only want to hear about policies and programmes of all the parties, and not insults and the use of abusive language,” he concluded.The NPP flagbearer, who expressed appreciation to the Chief for his words of encouragement, said that “we are coming into office, not to laud over Ghanaians, but to serve them. We will put in place measures to ensure that we have jobs and bring prosperity to Ghana."We have the men and women who can transform the fortunes of Ghana. God did not put us on this land for us to be poor. It is bad leadership that makes us poor.”
