President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II of his commitment to deal with lawlessness in the country.
The President apologised to the Asante monarch for the recent attack on the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator by the Delta Force, a vigilante group associated with the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr Akufo-Addo, who paid a courtesy call on the Asantehene as part of his three-day tour of the region, said he had taken notice of the recent happenings and was working very hard with the party's leadership to bring finality to the issue.
He said he would not condone lawlessness under his leadership and reiterated his call to ensure such issues never happen again.
“There are a few things, Delta [Force] and other issues that are unpleasant, but we are working to deal with those issues to ensure peace and understanding in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, and the whole country,” he noted.
“I will not ignore such issues. The law applies to everyone in Ghana. I know it is of concern to you, but do not worry, we will ensure that everything is resolved.”

Deal with them now Akufo addo and stop bragging
This CIA monkey will not do anything okay. He is just talking f0000lishness in the public okay. People were beating by your gang. You sit in your office open your mouth like a pig now you are saying all these shittttt.
Praise be with you.Ghana will be on even keel and looking like a democratic country.It won,t happen overnight
Nana God Bless You. Don't sacrifice your own to please these wicked NDC crooks. Though unfortunate that the Delta force failed to exercise restraint they are still relevant in the scheme of things. Akona did worse things than this but were never sacrificed. But never again Delta force, never again.
Nana addo, let my remind you that there no lawlessness in the country about from the lawlessness being perpetrated by your own delta force and invisible forces. Don't create the impression that Ghanaians are lawless, NPP hooligan are lawless. Lawlessness brought you to power, and the chickens have come home to roost. Deal with your own lawlessness and stop painting Ghanaians in general as being lawless.
interacting with the people at the grassroot level will give you you a first hand insight of problems confronting them Mr. President. God bless you.
I like this Idea. At last a president is thinking and doing the basic things that will keep you in power. You don't need to give Ghanaians honey and sugar to stay in power. You must really care about them. Staying a weekend every month in a region is a good idea. It brings the president closer to the people. Bravo Nana.
