In what could be described as a sharp U-turn after initial backlash, the Paramount Chief of the Offinso Traditional Council, Nana Wiafe Akenten, has predicted victory for the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The popular Asante Chief is backing the biggest opposition party with his prayers to achieve a resounding victory in the December 7 polls.
Not only is the chief wishing victory for the NPP, Nana Wiafe Akenten IV also stated emphatically that if he had money, he would have given the party enough to embark on its campaign.
Nana Wiafe Akenten made the statement when the wife of NPP's running mate, Mrs. Samira Bawumia, together with the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the party, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako popularly known as Chairman ‘Wontumi’, paid a courtesy call on him at his palace in Offinso.
His comments follow a controversy earlier this week when he gave his seat to the President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to sit on, after claiming the President and the NDC government had performed creditably well.
But in a sharp U-turn, Nana Wiafe Akenten told Mrs. Samira and her entourage that he prays the NPP wins the elections.
This was after the regional NPP Chairman had requested for his prayers and support. Chairman ‘Wontumi’, on his part, thanked the Offinsohene for the assurance and promised to work assiduously to ensure victory for the NPP.

Why NPP happy now? Insult him again
If all was simple for NPP in the area why are they now panicking and sending Samira to offer herself for votes? from what we know they say Ashanti region is a no go area but see how the NPP is panicking now, keep tickling yourselves, your NPP will cry in Ashanti region.
Please note that Ofinsomanhene offering Mahama his seat was just showing a sign of respect. He cannot and would never offer his stool. Showing that sign of respect didn't mean they would vote for Mahama. As simple as that.
What will the king say if CPP, and the others visit him!
I support the politeness of Offinsohene in offering his seat (note, not Stool) to the Presidency of Ghana out of respect for that Office. But I knew that my own neither he nor my Akumadan-Afrancho would not be so damnnnn ... to give the place to John Ford and the Ali Baba band.
