The Chief of Agric Nzemaa in Kumasi, Nana Nkansah Boadu Ayebaafo, has expressed astonishment at the international acclaim and respect accorded to Ghana.
Foreign dignitaries have accorded the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, since his arrival at Buckingham Palace.
According to him, he was completely dumbfounded by the international recognition and respect that foreign dignitaries who participated in King Charle's III coronation have for the Asantehene and the people of Ghana due to the country's rich culture and tradition.
Nana Nkansah Boadu, a member of the Asantehene's retinue, asserts that Ghana's international reputation has improved as a result of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's visit.
According to him, foreign dignitaries are awestruck by the splendor and significance of Ghanaian culture and tradition.
"They are even surprised that we have such a rich culture and tradition as a nation, yet we do not celebrate it enough," he said, emphasizing that the time has come for Ghanaians to renounce bitterness and unite behind things that promote progress and development.
He went on to say, "Anyone who does not value such beauty and recognition demonstrates the attitude of someone possessed by witchcraft."
Nana Nkansah Boadu, who takes pride in being a loyal and contented servant of His Majesty, exhorted Ghanaians to place a greater emphasis on issues that promote national unity and growth.
"The Asantehene is always concerned with the country's development; he has always utilized the opportunities afforded to him not only for his subjects but also for the entire nation. Why should such a person be reviled as opposed to celebrated?" he questioned.
