The Ashanti Regional Organiser for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Francis Adomako, has reiterated his advice to the Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. John Dramani Mahama, and his supporters to stop insulting the leaders in the Ashanti Region due to their desperation to win power at all costs.

According to him, Mr. Mahama’s silence on the various insults on former President Kufuor by NDC communicators and a recent one by one of Mr. Mahama’s boys, Kelvin Taylor, on our respected chiefs, including Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, show that Mr. Mahama and his NDC are bent on tarnishing the reputation of our revered leaders.
Dr. Adomako, who is popularly known as Francois, observed that Mr. Mahama is still quiet about all these insults after some days.
Francois, who doubles as the Dean of all Regional Organisers, said “this shows he (Mahama) is behind all these insults. He has not come out publicly to condemn this disgraceful act.”

“We the people of Ashanti respect former President J. A. Kufuor, Asantehene, all traditional leaders, the clergy, imams and other elders,” he stressed.
“He (Kufuor) was brought up very well. Ever since he left office, he has not insulted anyone. He has carried himself well. He is still a member of the NPP,” he added.
He noted that many people had said so many good things about former President Kufuor ever since he left office, adding that all that Mr. Kufuor said about Dr. Bawumia is true.

According to Francois, Mr. Mahama’s silence on the insults on former President Kufuor, including other respected opinion leaders who endorse Dr. Bawumia, is quite surprising.
“How do you hide behind Kelvin Taylor and others, because of politics, to rain insults on Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and other chiefs and later on come back to them to ask for their blessings?” he asked rhetorically.

Francois, therefore, called on all eligible voters, especially first-time voters, most of whom are beneficiaries of the Free SHS policy, to vote massively for Dr. Bawumia who is number one on the ballot, as well as NPP parliamentary candidates in their various constituencies, come December 7.
