The Asogli State Council has denied allegations that the Agbogbomefia of Asogli, Togbe Afede XIV, has compelled individuals to lobby for his selection as the running mate of John Mahama.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Council today, Tuesday, February 13, 2024.
The statement said while Togbe Afede XIV would not turn down any opportunity to serve Ghana, he has not instructed any person or group to lobby for him to be chosen as running mate.
According to the Asogli State, a group of people who identified themselves as the “Change Makers Forum” approached the traditional ruler to consider joining President Mahama as his running mate.
In the statement, the Council said the traditional ruler reacted saying “As a patriotic citizen, he would not reject any opportunity to serve the country, but the choice of a running mate is the prerogative of the flag bearer who already knows him very well.”
“But Togbe has not mandated anybody or group to “lobby” for his choice as running mate,” it added.
“The office of the Agbogbomefia operates an open-door policy and is open to communication, feedback, and inquiries from all citizens and stakeholders. We encourage individuals or groups to reach out directly on any matters, concerns or suggestions that require attention,” it added.
