Torgbuiga Adzonugaga Amenya Fiti V, the Paramount Chief of Aflao, has pleaded with politicians to emphasize the love of country and a strong sense of nationalism in their campaign statements.

That, according to him, was essential for the orderly and inclusive growth of the nation.

Torgbuiga Fiti made these remarks when the aspiring flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kojo Bonsu, paid a courtesy call on him at his palace in Aflao last Wednesday to inform him of his presidential ambition.

He commended Mr Bonsu for his bold decision to run for the presidency, saying he was known for his strong sense of patriotism, dignity and ability to consolidate peace and unity among the people, and respect for traditional authorities.

For his part, Mr Bonsu thanked Torgbuiga Fiti for the cordial reception accorded him at the palace, saying it was gratifying and definitely reassuring of many good tidings for his ambition to lead the NDC to victory in the 2024 general election.
