The warm relationship between you and my son, the Vice President, is indicative of the fact that the project that he has embarked on, is certainly one that is going to be fulfilled," the Nayiri said. "You have come far with my son, once you have not gotten to your destination, you cannot complain of being tired until you get to the preferred destination," he appealed to the entourage. "I want those here who are from Asante and the rest of the country to know that the Asantehene is my blood brother and a very good friend. Each time we are together, we speak the same language so those of you from Asante, when you get home, go to the Asantehene and tell him that his brother, I the Nayiri extend my warm greetings to him and that with prayers I need the support of the Asante people and particularly the Asantehene to help support my son so that he gets to where he wants to get to," Nayiri to Asantehene.
