Quoting his advisory message from "1 Samuel 17:29," Osabarima Tenadu II advised that Ghana is the only country we have, and it is, therefore, important that we live in unity for the betterment of the nation.

"I will continue to use my well-recognized position as a traditional leader to promote peace and unity across the length and breadth of Ghana," he assured.

On his part, the Chief of the Defence Staff, Major General Thomas Oppong Peprah, thanked the Kade Chief for the advice.

He assured that he would use his position to ensure a peaceful election, much to the admiration of all Ghanaians and the world as a whole.

He pleaded with Muslim and Christian leaders to continue to educate their members not to be used for political violence in the 2024 general elections.

The CDS also seized the opportunity to advise leaders of the various political parties in the country to help preserve the already existing peace in the country.
