Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, has occasionally shared wisdom and advice that touches on the political landscape in Ghana. In the past, he has addressed both major political parties, including the New Patriotic Party (NPP), emphasizing unity, humility, and a focus on national development rather than partisanship.
Although there isn’t a specific widely publicized instance in which Otumfuo explicitly advised the NPP and was ignored due to “arrogance,” he has been known to counsel political actors against actions that could lead to disunity or instability. His messages often stress the importance of leaders maintaining humility, engaging in meaningful dialogue, and putting the welfare of the people first.
One notable example could be related to his call for calm and dialogue during political disputes, especially after contentious elections or during moments of national tension. If the NPP (or any party) acted contrary to his advice, it could be perceived as ignoring his wisdom, potentially leading to criticisms of arrogance or disregard for traditional authority.
If there’s a specific context or event you’re referring to, let me know, and I can provide a more detailed analysis.
