Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents,
I was at the Kumasi Sports Stadium last Sunday, attending the ?Addae Kese? durbar, which also commemorated the fifth anniversary of the ascension of Otumfuor Osei Tutu II to the Golden Stool. The Otumfuor kept me waiting for well over two hours before he showed up, in his royal splendour in a palanquin.
First, the Otumfuor forced me to know how it feels to be kept waiting. I now know what you feel (and think) whenever you are forced to sit at a function which will not start until the president shows his wrinkly face. But don?t think I am going to change. I am now going to do it even more ? because one of the men I admire most (the Otumfuor) has confirmed that your lateness is an indicator of how important you are.
