Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, has brought attention to the lack of attention he and his palace receive from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) when the party is out of power.
On Friday, September 27, 2024, Otumfuo praised Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the NDC’s 2024 election running mate, during her visit and advised her to uphold humility and dedication during her campaign.
Nevertheless, he highlighted occasions when the NDC overlooks him and the Manhyia Palace while the party is not in power.
“I always ask her, ‘Why does the NDC distance itself from me when you are out of power?’ They visit frequently when in power, but disappear when they are not. When Naana was chosen, I was here and heard about it, but no one came to introduce her to me. You selected her before the NPP chose NAPO [as running mate]. When they brought him here, I questioned why Naana had not been brought to greet me.
“So when I met her in Cape Coast, I asked her to dance with me, even though she hadn’t come to greet me. I’ve known her for a long time; when she was Vice Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, I always recognised her good works and respect for me,” Otumfuo said.
“Today, it is due to politics; my son John Mahama has chosen her as his running mate. I told her when she was first selected (for the 2020 elections) to remain humble and dedicated in her campaign. In both the NPP and NDC, we seek someone who will bring development to the nation. My sole aim is to see Ghana progress,” Otumfuo added.

Otumfuo further explained that his palace remains neutral in politics and welcomes all parties, highlighting that it does not support the New Patriotic Party or any other political party.
“The NPP has chosen my grandchild Matthew Opoku Prempeh as their vice-presidential candidate. He is indeed my grandchild, but that does not mean I have aligned the palace with the NPP or the NDC,” Otumfuo stated.
Professor Opoku-Agyemang thanked Otumfuo for continuously supporting and praying for her and the NDC.
“I came to present myself once again and to seek your prayers, support, and advice for the upcoming elections, so that God’s will may prevail and Ghana may prosper,” she said.
Otumfuo also emphasized the need for a free, fair, and transparent election to protect Ghana’s peace sustainability during his address.
