The Asogli State Council has said although Togbe Afede XIV, the Agbogbomefia of Asogli, is ready to serve as a running mate, he has not instigated any lobbying to that end.
The Asogli State Council clarified in a statement that a group of people who identified themselves as the “Change Makers Forum” were the latest to approach Togbe Afede to consider joining President Mahama as his running mate.
According to the Council, Togbe Afede responded that “as a patriotic citizen, he would not reject any opportunity to serve the country, but the choice of a running mate is the prerogative of the flag bearer who already knows him very well.”
The statement added that Togbe Afede considered it a great honour that a group of well-intentioned professionals called on him to express their trust in him, and thus their desire for him to be the next Vice President of Ghana.
“But Togbe has not mandated anybody or group to ‘lobby’ for his choice as running mate,” it added.
The Asogli State Council, therefore, apologised to the chiefs, kingmakers, the people of the area, and all others for any shock and embarrassment they may have suffered.
“The office of the Agbogbomefia operates an open-door policy and is open to communication, feedback, and inquiries from all citizens and stakeholders. We encourage individuals or groups to reach out directly on any matters, concerns or suggestions that require attention,” it added.
