Flag bearer-hopeful of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kojo Bonsu has refuted claims that he is at loggerheads with Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and his sub-chiefs.
The royal said he respects his cousin, the Asantehene, and has a good relationship with him.
The former mayor of Kumasi had problems with some sub-chiefs in Kumasi in 2016. They accused him of disrespecting them when he questioned the locus of the Chief of Amoaman, Nana Agyenim Boateng, who was appointed by Otumfuo to represent the chiefs on a committee to supervise the construction of the Kejetia market.
The peeved chiefs slaughtered a sheep at the Asantehene's Palace in Manhyia to sever ties with Mr Bonsu, who later apologised to the Asantehene and his sub-chiefs.
Speaking about his current relationship with the traditional authorities in the Ashanti Region on Starr FM, on Thursday, 4 October 2018, Mr Bonsu said he has no problem with the chiefs.
“Otumfuo is my first cousin, we have a very good relationship, we are brothers as we Asantes call it. I worship the stool, so, the greatest respect goes to Otumfuo and Manhyia,” he stated.
He continued: “It isn’t true that I have problems with Otumfuo or Manhyia. [Otumfuo] is somebody that I respect and worship, so, it’s not true. Yes, I had problems with some of his sub-chiefs but Otumfuo was not involved in this matter.”
Mr Bonsu noted that his apology to the sub-chiefs was “an honest apology,” and he has since not had any problem with the traditional authorities.

This is why I always say ndc are for f000**00ls! anyone in that party is arrogant, just look at their general secretary something not even Worth sacrificing for deities talk to Ghanaians with such arrogance,making themselves one of the greens, the braves (army) when actually they haven't even been boys scouts before! bluffing over Rawlings army credentials and his sacrifices in his revolution and using it to intimidate the cowards like they also took arms to fight the Ghana armed forces of the SMC2 and the Limann government! No wonder they lose elections in the security services ! they are such boring and annoying crop of people! somebody like Koku Anyidoho whose father even his father was an army officer but he couldn't join his father's career but talks loudly and more than his father who was in the greens! one would have expected Koku Anyidoho to be walking his father's footsteps by joining the army like the late major Mahama the bravest and a hero, but what do we see, a coward in shirt and pants but talks like he was trained in the jungle and sea! ndc cowards ! I know so many officers whose kids after university followed their fathers footsteps in the army and look so gentle and disciplined, even they are disciplined and gentle,how much more people who never joined even the boys scout but rather joined a military man during his junta days act like they are by force soldiers, when even the soldiers themselves don't behave that way, they are disciplined and gentle. You Look at Asiedu Nketiah and you ask yourself what does this thing think of himself an army officer or what? where was he trained and which military academy did he get his training? in fact Ghana is disgusting ! 3tan, 3tan paaa! then you hear them calling for a coup like they have authority over the army to give them instructions for them to take ! ndc is a disgusting party, they don't know what they want and don't know what they doing!
