"'Nana, you have done a lot. Nana, you have done well.' Your contribution to education is unparalleled.  The number of children who have had the chance to get secondary education.  How can we forget. We know that it's constitutional for you to leave, otherwise we would have wanted you to stay in office."

"Let's talk about roads.  The long travel distances that we would travel have been cut short. Otherwise, the body pains we experienced were tough."

"We thank you for 18 hospitals out of which you have completed some and you have been  commissioning already and people are already in it working," the one of the chiefs said.

On Tuesday, 26th November, President Akufo-Addo responded by extending his heartfelt appreciation to the traditional leaders. 

He acknowledged their ongoing support and partnership, noting the important role they have played in the success of his administration.

They spoke highly of the accomplishments of these appointees, crediting their work for furthering the development of Asanteman.
