I have an emotional attachment to it, from the days of my grandfather; he was the Adontenhene of Toase, and we\u2019ve gone through a lot of things,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> He also mentioned that he will soon be celebrating his jubilee anniversary alongside his classmate in service to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"zqdVxg7DUh0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The NPP I identify with isn\u2019t a party where unelected people gain power - Prof. Frimpong-Boateng.\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zqdVxg7DUh0?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPretty soon, I and my classmates will be celebrating a 50th-anniversary in public service, and we think we\u2019ve done a lot.

If we cannot deal with it, maybe we will have time to talk about it. But this is the NPP that I am thinking about.
