Ghana Chief Thanks Party Leader for Backing President

A traditional chief in Ghana is expressing heartfelt thanks for the kind of loyalty that lifts leaders to their highest potential.

Bolewura Sarfo Kutuge Feso I, a paramount chief in Ghana's Savannah Region, sent a special message of gratitude to Johnson Asiedu Nketia, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Speaking through his representative, Tingawura Seidu Abudu Sampson, the chief thanked Asiedu Nketia for years of unwavering support for President John Dramani Mahama.

The message came during Asiedu Nketia's "Thank You Tour" of the Savannah Region following the NDC's victory in Ghana's 2024 general elections. The chairman has been visiting traditional authorities and party supporters to express appreciation for their role in the electoral success.

Tingawura Sampson delivered the Bolewura's words directly. "The Bolewura asked me to personally thank the National Chairman for the support he has given to his son, President John Mahama, from the beginning up to this point," he said.

The chief's message went beyond simple thanks. He encouraged Asiedu Nketia to continue offering guidance and support to both the President and the party as they move forward.

Why This Inspires

The Bolewura's message carries the wisdom of mentorship and legacy building. He shared a traditional blessing, explaining that when a son supports his father to rise, the father naturally prays for the son to reach similar heights and even surpass him.

"All the good things you are doing, all the running around you are doing on his behalf, you are not wasting your time," the chief assured Asiedu Nketia through his representative. "The blessings will surely come to you."

The message reflects values of loyalty, service, and collective success that resonate beyond politics. It's a reminder that supporting others on their journey creates its own rewards.

The Bolewura was unable to personally receive the chairman due to commitments in nearby Tamale, but made sure his appreciation was clearly conveyed. He also extended greetings to the Savannah Regional executives of the NDC, commending their contributions to party activities in the region.

In a world often focused on individual achievement, this exchange celebrates the power of steadfast support and the blessing of lifting others up.
