Citing Luke 10:29, the Akyem Asuom Krontihene stated that the Akufo-Addo-led government had stripped Ghana and assaulted her, robbing her of her goodies.

However, a good Samaritan has come to Ghana’s rescue and will put Ghana in good health and a happy situation and would recover all the loot the robbers took.

The Krontihene further chided the outgoing president’s administration’s alleged disrespect towards chiefs and other traditional leaders.

He said the disrespect shown to chiefs during the Akufo-Addo administration had left many chiefs discontented.

With his soon-to-come departure, he said many chiefs are happy and are eager to welcome John Mahama as president.

“A good friend of mine who is also a chief told me one day, ‘Let’s see if he will come around and instruct chiefs to wake up to greet him.'”

According to the Krontihene, Akufo-Addo is not leaving behind a good legacy.
