USA - Based Diaspora Progressive Movement Boss says, Asantehene is the Man of the Year, 2023

HRM Otumfuo Osei Tutu, is the King of the Ashanti Kingdom in Ghana, West Africa

I have made Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, my Man of the Year 2023 because of how he has conducted himself in exposing the corruption, nepotism, and insensitivity of the Akufo - Addo government.

When we say some Kings have wisdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is one of them. You never understand when he starts to act until he finishes. That is what he has done to Nana Addo.

First, it was the era of energy crisis (dumsor) in Kumasi. Otumfuo never spoke about it for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to read politics into it. He waited until one day, the Minister of Energy, Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), went to the Manhyia palace for lunch.

There, the lights went off and he took the opportunity to address the whole 'dumsor' in Ashanti Region. The evidence was right there before NAPO, and he couldn’t tell his talkers to make noise with it.

At the end of the day, Otumfuo made the government aware that dumsor was back. Second, was when the government, launching its Green Ghana Agenda, wrote a script from the Jubilee House for the Asantehene to read in public.

This government does not respect anyone, even the Otumfuo.

The King cleverly exposed the government by telling the whole world that a script had been written from the Jubilee House for him to read, but he is reading his own script because he didn’t believe in what he has been given to read.

That was such an embarrassment to the government.

Then recently, the ruler of Ashanti kingdom, after visiting the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in the night, and seeing how the hospital had deteriorated, initiated a move to renovate it. This move was done before the 2024 Budget statement was read.

Any wise government would have allocated some funds for the renovation of some hospitals, including the KATH in the 2024 Budget, but not this Nana Addo’s government.

When nothing was done about the poor condition of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Otumfuo then initiated the next embarrassment by summoning the Regional Minister to his palace to account for his stewardship.

The Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, went to the palace and told the Ashanti Chiefs’ Council the true state of the Ashanti economy, and by extension, the Ghanaian economy.

Mr Osei Mensah said amongst other things that many of the roads in the region have been awarded to contractors, but the projects have been abandoned because there is no money to even settle the interim payment certificate.

The Asantehene asked the chiefs if they have seen the government flagship program of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) schools in their area.

The chiefs answered to Otumfuo in the negative.

Now, I am waiting for when Dr Bawumia will go and campaign in Ashanti Region. Otumfuo and Ashantiman will be waiting for him.

The Vice President, should not appear before Otumfuo and tell him he, the Vice, built the toilets in Suame, Kejetia, and Atonsu.

Mahama Reba, Mahama afa.
