Otumfuo said he is a Ghanaian and a father figure for his kinsmen and also interested in the well-being of every Ghanaian

Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has dismissed rumours that he is in bed with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He said his position as a traditional leader makes it imperative for him to work with all Presidents regardless of their political parties.

According to him, all he is interested in as a Ghanaian is the betterment of Ghana and the Ashanti Kingdom stating that his duties can clearly be seen in his contribution to all past and present presidents devoid of partisanship.

Addressing a group of chiefs and elders of the Ashanti Kingdom on his return from South Africa on Sunday, Otumfuo said he is a Ghanaian and a father figure for his kinsmen.

Speaking on the Agogo and Old Tafo impasse, he said, he would institute his own mechanisms and initiative to end the conflicts, but did not state which form these would take.
