The overlord of Dagbon, Yaa-Naa Abukari II, has charged the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama to ensure a continuous reshuffling of appointees.
He said this will enable the former President to assemble the best of human resources to run his government when voted to power.
The Dagbon overlord believes this is the best approach to achieve the objectives of staging a comeback in 2025.
In a speech read on his behalf on February 5, Yaa-Naa said Ghanaians will not forgive Mr Mahama if he fails to present a competent government.
"When you get the nod from Ghanaians, do not shy away from reshuffling your team to get the right ones on board by merits and competence and lay off even loyalists but misfits who will only churn out mediocrity for your government," he said.
The Yaa-Naa added, "This applies especially to your cabinet because they in reality rule you and the country. That will be a mistake no Ghanaian will forgive you if you happen to be the chosen one."
Yaa-Naa urged the former President to be determined to build a legacy rather than amass wealth for his family and friends.
"I believe you are not coming to make more money for your family but to leave a legacy that your children will not only be proud of but will pave the way for them wherever they find themselves in the future when you are long gone to your maker," he added.
In his address, the NDC flagbearer lauded Ya-Naa for his contribution to restoring peace in Dagbon, emphasising the need to deal with issues of insecurity.
Mr Mahama commended the Yaa-Naa for teaming up with local authorities to deal with armed robbery in the area and promised to complete the delayed water treatment facility.
"I am disappointed that with all the work we did in terms of the Yendi Water Supply Project, eight years after we left power, Yendi still has no water. I want to assure you that if your son becomes President, you will not be thirsty anymore," he added.
The NDC flagbearer also held a town hall meeting at Yendi Senior High School.
