The Asogli State Council has denied allegations that the Agbogbomefia of Asogli, Togbe Afede XIV, has charged some individuals to lobby for his selection as the running mate of John Mahama.
According to the statement, although Togbe Afede XIV would not turn down any opportunity to serve Ghana, he has not instructed any person or group to lobby on his behalf for the running mate of the NDC.
The statement explained that a group of people who identified themselves as the “Change Makers Forum” had approached the traditional ruler to consider joining President Mahama as his running mate.
“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 flagbearer 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 statement further stressed that “The office of the Agbogbomefia operates an open-door policy and its 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.”
