The ruling New Patriotic Party’s [NPP]’s Deputy Communications Director, Kofi Ameyaw, has emphatically stated that the party cannot progress without the blessing of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
In an interview on Kasapa FM’s morning show, Kofi Ameyaw advised that one should not try to psycho analyze Otumfuo in any way, probably assuming how he should go about an issue.
According to him he addressed the issue based on how he felt it should be, though some people wished he should have called on the President in a person than making it public.
“You can have a problem with his[Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II] association and all he does, but the truth of the matter is that the NPP as a political party can never be successful and will never be successful without the blessing and the spirit of the Ashanti kingdom”, he stressed.
BACKGROUND
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo according to reports in the media met the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Manhyia Palace in a bid to plead with the fuming Monarch.
The visit by the President comes after some Executives of the ruling party were seen, in a photo gone viral, kneeling before the Ashanti King.
The revered King is reportedly angry over attempts by some individuals in government to pitch him against Akyems.
A group calling itself the Concerned Youth of Ashanti has strongly accused a leading member of the New Patriotic Party, (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere Darko and the Executive Secretary to the President, Nana Asante Bediatuo of speaking ill and undermining the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

This very Asantehene is a disgrace to Asanteman. If you learn that Sir Prempeh I, among others, played an important role in the establishment of the University of Ghana at Legon, then the so-called Otumfuo should be ashamed of not being accountable to his subjects how much funds he had so far raised on their behalf in the name of Otumfuo Education Fund. Instead, we heard of missing Gold in Hotels and wealth of Mansions he had acquired in London. He is, indeed, disgracing the throne of his predecessors
I can bet with great confidence that if today Asantehene publicly dances highlife with bigwigs of the NDC and declares his full support for same and even bears all cards of the NDC and flies with the presidential Jet to South Africa. Ashanti Region will continue to be the World Bank of the NPP. I am indeed a pure Ashanti and if Asantehene wants to know his full length, just to borrow the phrase of Supreme Court Judge Atubiga, he can challenge my bet to see who wins.
I could'nt agree more and what a piece of BULL SEEEEEEET from this Ashante bigot besides what sort of blessing and spirit of Ashanti is the idiotic full talking abouy ? IT IS ALL A MYTH THIS ASHANTE KINGDOM !!!!THING !!!; the Ashantehene is just a mere mortal being and is a chief by virtue of accident of birth like other chiefs anywhere ; the truth is that if the NDC party had managed the country well I am sure people in Ashanti would have voted for the NDC to come to power again because even school children saw the corrupt and stilling nature of the NDC and Jon Mahama ;so why should anybody or any Ashante go vote for a party which was stilling from the people because the Ashantehene says so ; besides the Ashantehene was an NDC member everybody knew that ;besides the position of Ashantehene is not a personal property of the KWEKU DUA the current Ashantehene; the mere mortal is only a custodian of the position ; he cannot order people to vote for any party besides WHAT CAN THE ASHATEHENE DO if Ashantis wish to vote for NPP again
stop that. npp doesn't need any chief's blessing to be successful.can you tell us what asantehene did for the party to win power in 2000 and 2016? It was a great mistake for the NPP excutives who went to manhyia to bowed and apologized. should the excutives apologize for any individuals who wrong the asantehene? even if it is true that some akyems are undermining the asantehene does it concern NPP? Is the party a political party or a chieftancy institution? If asantehene feels someone has offended him, he should report to the appropriate institution and not the party. why didn't he report the people who annouced his death to the party? was it the akems who jubilated in kumasi when the rumor came that he is dead? Not his own ashanties who jubilated? He should concentrate on his kingship and stop putting his nose into our polities.
RUBB*ISH! WHO IS HE? GOD? MTEWWWWW!
