If chiefs were allowed, I’d have openly declared my support for Nana Kwame Bediako – Dormaahene
Independent presidential candidate, Nana Kwame Bediako, has called on the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II to resolve differences between him and the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
He said the two most significant traditional rulers in the country must resolve the rift and unite for the good of the country.
He made the call when he paid a courtesy call on Osagyefo Agyemang Badu.
Nana Bediako presented drinks to the Dormaahene as a peace offering, promising to do the same with Otumfuo Osei Tutu.
Bono
Nana Bediako, who hails from the region, considers Bono his ancestral home; a proud son of the land and was returning to pay homage to the Dormaahene and seek his blessings as he (Bediako) began his tour of the region.
“I return to the Bono Region not only to pay respect to you, our revered ruler,” he said, adding “but also to seek your blessing as I embark on a tour through the region. Failure to seek your blessing will be a mark of great disrespect.”
Nana Bediako, who is also the leader of the New Force, noted that the Bono Region possessed attributable mineral reserves valued at $132 billion, an incredible amount that was twice the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country.
This untapped wealth, he pointed out, had the potential to transform not only the region but the entire nation.
For his part, Osagyefo Agyemang Badu acknowledged the significance of Nana Bediako’s call for the resolution of the rift between him and Otumfuo Osei Tutu.
He expressed his admiration for the leader of the New Force, describing his words of unity as unprecedented.
“You speak words that not even our leaders have dared to utter,” the Dormaahene stated.
“Your call for unity is powerful, and I promise you this – your message will not be in vain,” he stated.
Challenges
The Dormaahene noted that despite 32 years of alternating rule by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the nation continued to wallow in under-development.
He did not hold back in declaring that Nana Kwame Bediako represented a bold departure from the established political order – the one who truly represented the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of Ghanaians.
“If it were not for the 1992 constitution, which forbids traditional rulers from participating in politics,” he said, “I would have openly declared my support for you right here and now.”
