He said, "had it not been his [Akufo-Addo’s] quest to ascend the highest office of the land, we had a stool in Akwamu for him – the Nana Bakai stool. If he is, thus, seeking the Presidency of the land, we back himfully."
The Krontihene of the Akwamu Traditional Area made this known at Atimpoku, in the Asuogyaman constituency, when Nana Addo campaigned in the constituency, as part of his 4-day campaign tour of the Eastern Region.

In the presence of thousands of residents and NPP sympathisers at a night rally held at Atimpoku, Nana Asare Akowua, reiterated that “because he is one of us, I am, on behalf of the Akwamu Kingdom, stating here and now, that we are going to vote massively for him so he wins the elections.”
The Krontihene of Akwamu noted that “when the handing over ceremony is being done, power will be handed over to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. On 7th January, we are sending a son of the Akwamu Kingdom to occupy the seat of government.”
Nana Asare Akowua, on behalf of the Akwamu Traditional Council, also used the opportunity to publicly dissociate itself from recent comments by its acting president, Osuogyasono Yaw Boadu IV against Nana Akufo-Addo. Osuogyasono Yaw Boadu IV is reported to have said that the Council will perform rituals to remove the image of the NPP presidential candidate from the ballot papers during the December 7 elections.

“Akwamus have no rituals that influence elections. We wish to assure the people of Ghana that we do not engage in rituals to delete contestants from the ballot paper. We cannot remove someone from the ballot paper spiritually. What our brother said was out of exuberance and over excitement, and, perhaps, he wanted to say something to please some people,” he said.
Nana Asare Akowua, thus, appealed to the “Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP not to pay heed to the statements made by our brother (Osuogyasono Yaw Boadu IV). Kindly ignore it completely.”
