Ghanaian highlife musician Kofi Kinaata is elated after the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II implored Ghanaians to reflect on the wisdom in his song, ‘Susuka’.
During his address at the dinner session of the General Conference of the Ghana Bar Association in Kumasi, Otumfuo urged Ghanaians particularly political leaders “to think deeply before denigrating the system.”
He said although Ghana’s Judicial system may be fraught with some challenges, Ghanaians must appreciate the country as there are some countries which aspire to be like Ghana.
He called on Ghanaians to reflect on Kofi Kinaata’s insightful lyrics.
He cited the phrase ‘Obi nya way3″ from Kofi Kinaata’s hit song ‘Susuka’ to emphasise the importance of appreciating Ghana.
“We have a judiciary that may not be perfect but it deserves credit for the positive efforts. I can think of many countries which look at Ghana and to the seas ‘Y3 nyamuay3’.
“Sometimes listen to the wisdom of our musicians and reflect on a piece like Kofi Kinaata’s ‘Obi nya way3’,” Otumfuo remarked.
“My earnest plea to the people of Ghana especially our political leaders, journalists, social commentators and civil society advocates is to think deeply before denigrating the system,” he added.
This elicited applause from the audience, acknowledging Otumfuo’s stance.
Kofi Kinaata, in utmost excitement, has shared the Asantehene’s praise on social media, with the caption, “Auntie Ama eeiii.. I have made it!! #KofiOOKofi.”
His colleagues and fans have since flocked the comment section of his post to celebrate this notable recognition from the Otumfuo.
Auntie Ama eeiii.. I have made it!! ✌🏾😊🤝🏾 #KofiOOKofi
