But Osabarima Ayeh Kofi has mocked the president's claim, criticising him that "I don't think this is how we should do politics."

”What was most laughable to me was the claim that if Nana Akufo Addo wins power, he’ll destool me. This statement was made here in Suhum," Osabarima Ayeh Kofi added.

He made the statement on Thursday when Akufo-Addo visited him as part of his tour of the Eastern Region.

He said: "I know that it is only the people of Suhum who can destool me, not even the Okyehene…those you rule are the only people who can destool you.

"The destoolment process will come from my family, then to the people of Suhum. So we should just laugh over some of these statements made by politicians. Let us listen to what they tell us, we take only what is good and ignore what will not help us, that is how I do my politics. Let’s pray and bless Akufo Addo and his team as they fight on ahead of this election. If God has purposed to crown him a king, no individual can stop it."
