Following his promise to ease the continuing tension between Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and the Dormaahene himself, New Force presidential candidate Nana Kwame Bediako, often known as Cheddar, was recently lauded by the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II.
If elected president, Cheddar pledged to do everything in his power to promote harmony and peace between the two powerful chiefs, even threatening to sacrifice himself if he was unable to do so.
Cheddar's vow mirrors views that many leaders have been unwilling to express, the Dormaahene said in response, expressing admiration for Cheddar's audacity.
The Dormaahene showed his admiration for Cheddar's commitment to fostering peace in a video that Kofi TV posted. I've run out of things to say. What most leaders are unable to say, you have said. Who is against to unity? This is something I consider frequently, and I assure you that your words will not be in vain. In highlighting his respect, the Dormaahene alluded to the limitations imposed on him by the 1992 constitution, which prohibits chiefs from participating in political activities.
He revealed that he would have publicly backed Cheddar, whom he called a "redeemer" for the country, had it not been for this constraint. NPP and NDC ought to be steadfast as we have a redeemer today. I would have proclaimed my support for you if it weren't for the 1992 constitution that forbade chiefs from participating in politics. In an effort to win over Ghanaians to his cause of unification and change in 2024, Cheddar has been aggressively traversing the country in the run-up to the polls.
