Nii Adotey Otintor Calls For Accountability From Political Leaders

The Sempe Mantse in the Sempe Traditional Area of Accra and the Mankralo of Ga State, Nii Adotey Otintor, is warning chiefs and traditional leaders in the country to be cautious of politicians.
The chief said some politicians would come to them with hefty and sumptuous promises while campaigning, but they failed to deliver.
“Too often, politicians make grand commitments during elections, only to abandon those promises after assuming office. ” Nii Otintor made these remarks in an interview.
He charged himself and his fellow chiefs across the country to be strong and forthright, wielding wisdom in their demands for social development in their traditional areas.
“For it is a weak or selfish chief that causes societies to crumble, not the people themselves.”
He called on chiefs to remain vigilant and to judge politicians not by eloquent speeches or campaign promises but by their actions and proven records of service.
“A true politician is measured by integrity, by the fulfilment of promises, and by tangible results, not empty rhetoric.”
According to Nii Sempe, “Chiefs should demand performance, transparency, and a genuine commitment to the welfare of the people before endorsing anyone for public office.”
The vicar and vigorous Ga traditional chief also called on the government to renew its commitment to the development of Sempe School, Salaga Market, and all that Ga Mashie prides itself on.
He spoke with the passion of a true revivalist and nationalist, earnestly calling for the restoration of all academic institutions that have long remained dormant in other regions owing to neglect and abandonment by government.
The Mankralo of Ga State expressed his convictions with deep emotion, love for the welfare of his people, cultural pride, and an enduring dedication to the advancement of the Ga-Dangme people.
