The Osantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II asked President Man Akufo-Addo to make every effort to improve the living conditions of Ghanaians, especially those residing in the Ashanti region.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu said the president could leave a legacy if Ghanaians saw an improvement in their lives.

Asantehene was speaking at a state dinner held in her honor to mark the 20th anniversary of Asantehene's throne.

"You walk alone on this path and you are struck by the image of an old lady at the twilight of her years, declining from apparent neglect and an image of despair. Unfortunately, this image is not exclusive, but reflects the challenges facing the inhabitants of the Ashanti region. "

"Mr. President, this is a challenge we face together – a challenge we must overcome – we can not build a new Jerusalem in the time we have under your mandate but we can certainly make a difference, a huge difference and we can not fail. "

Otumfuo's appeal may well be a reminder of the President's promise to transform the lives of Ghanaians.

President Nana Akufo-Addo has promised on several occasions to improve the living conditions of Ghanaians through government policies and programs.

This, he said, will help put Ghana on the path of progress and prosperity.

The president said that the vision of a progressive and prosperous Ghana, envisioned by the country's founding fathers, was to materialize in our generation.

The implementation of policies such as Free SHS, 1-District-1-Factory, the Planting for Food and Jobs program, 1-Village-1-Dam, as well as the revival of the national health insurance scheme, has he said, was made possible because of the stability of the economy.
