Keep focus
The Omanhene counseled Dr Opoku Prempeh to keep his focus and not to distracted by those who say certain things about him. “They don’t know you so dont worry.

I urge you to keep your focus as we continue to pray for the dream of yours and that of Bawumia to come to pass soon,” Tetrete urged.

Relationship
Dr Opoku Prempeh was encouraged by the words of wisdom of Tetrete as he looked forward to engaging all stakeholders in the campaign. “For me I have always held that there should be a perfect relationship between the political class and traditional authority. I am committed to this more because that is the vision of Dr Bawumia,“ he said.

Background
