Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin says despite the war-mongering by politicians ahead of the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections, Ghana will exhibit her civility before, during and after the polls.
This, according to him, is because Ghana has witnessed several successful elections under the Fourth Republic with higher stakes between 1992 till date.
He added that, the December 2024 election will not be any different from the previous exercise held in the country.
Okyenhene made the comments at the Okyeman Nifa Royal durbar in his honor as part of activities ongoing to commemorate his 25th Anniversary celebration.
He advised the youth and all voters to exercise their rights responsibly in the 2024 election.
"We have done it before. Since 1992 and Ghana remains stronger and together. On December 7, go to the polling center and vote for a candidate who can bring development to you, go home after voting, you may decide to come and witness the counting process in the evening or stay home and listen to the results from the media.
"At the end of the day, one will emerge as the winner. If you lose the election, take a chilled drink, the sun shall set and rise again," Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin stressed.
He said the democratic gains made by Ghana can not be eroded in the 2024 election but will continue to blossom.
Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin charged his subjects and Ghanaians to inculcate the heart of forgiveness and love for each other.
"The musician called King Paluta has lyrics on forgiveness. I think the song title is Aseda and it says: 'forgive me if I have wronged you. I have also forgiven your sins.'
"We must learn to forgive each other. There is no issue that can't be resolved by dialogue. In Akan the difficult sin to forgive and forget is when your brother has an affair with your wife and vice versa, even with that, we still deal with the issue.
"During my 25th-anniversary celebration, I have cancelled every grudge in Jesus name. Let's love ourselves and help each other," Osagyefuo said.
He called on Ghanaians to exhibit the spirit of patriotism and selflessness especially those in public service.
The king added that while stakeholders continue to advocate for better conditions of service for teachers, teachers must also reciprocate the gesture by executing their duties diligently and in love since the societal fiber rests on the output of teachers.
He said, "our educational system must place emphasis on skills development and entrepreneurship in order to create jobs for the youth".
Osagyefuo applauded government's investments in education over the years and called on the state to create an enabling environment for job creation so as to reduce unemployment.
