Don’t fail Mahama – Otumfuo cautions govt appointees

Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has advised government appointees under President John Dramani Mahama’s administration to stay focused and honour the trust placed in them by both the president and the Ghanaian people.

During a courtesy call at Jubilee House on Monday, June 2, Otumfuo stressed the importance of integrity, humility, and dedication in their roles, warning that their performance would directly reflect on President Mahama and the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“Don’t lose sight of your responsibilities. Ghanaians have entrusted the country to President John Mahama. He, in turn, has entrusted and assigned responsibilities to you because he trusts you—so do not fail him,” the Asantehene declared.

He highlighted the president’s clear stance against corruption and urged appointees to align with this vision.

“He has already made it clear: if you are here to loot, there is no place for that in his government. But if you support him diligently, Ghanaians will recognise his performance, and it will bring honour to the NDC and to Ghana as a whole,” Otumfuo cautioned.

The traditional ruler called on the officials to embrace their roles sincerely and with humility, noting that their commitment would shape the legacy of the administration.

“Focus on your duties with truth and humility,” he advised.

Otumfuo’s visit underscores his ongoing efforts to promote accountability, national development, and responsible governance as Ghana looks ahead under President Mahama’s leadership.
