The Asantehene (King of Asante Kingdom), Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has called for the protection of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) from any form of political warfare.
Otumfuo made the appeal when he paid a courtesy call on the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Johnson Asiama, on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
He said the BoG was an important national asset for Ghana.
According to him, “This [Bank of Ghana] is a unique institution with a mandate that ultimately affects every citizen of the land. Ideally, this citadel should be a fortress insulated from the strings and arrows of the political warfare. Whatever it is, we should think twice before we do anything that has the capacity to cast a snare on the integrity of the bank.”
Otumfuo said “I will appeal to the nation and both sides of the political divide to give the Governor, my son and his team a chance, give them the space and respect to perform their professional duties. Support them along the right path. This is our bank; if they fail, we risk collapse, if they succeed, we walk in wealth and in glory.”
