Emmanuel Kotin, the Head of Programs at the African Center For Security and Counter Terrorism has expressed disgust at the unruly manner in which President Mahama was hooted at, in Mahyia, yesterday.
To him, it is disrespect to the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu for anyone to attempt denting the one week observation of the passing of his mother, who happens to be the Asantehemaa.
Even though its less than a month to the general elections, Mr. Kotin is of the view that partisan politicking should have no place at the funeral grounds of the Asantehemaa and leaders of political parties must therefore take appropriate action to prevent a recurrence.
“…it is absolutely unruly for anyone to hoot at the President at such a function. we are in a political season, yes, but it does not mean there is break down in power. The authority and prestige of the Asante people must not be allowed to be brought this low by a few political elements who would want to take advantage of a every occasion to misbehave”
“no one is above the law and what took place in Mahyia yesterday was an eye saw which political leaders must make sure doesn’t happen again. we must to do politics and when to respect authority” he said on UTV’s Adekye Nsroma.

what they did was bad for sure, but we shouldnt close our eyes to others and comment when its against us. stoning akofo addo is equally bad. the elders we have in oir current ghana are very ***barred word***. they only comment when its against them. what is good for the goose is equally good for the ganda
JJ,did what,it,s a lie/.Ashantis /akyems don,t respect anyone .If you want it then nana addo can,t go to other regions
The most villagers of Akan ethnic group in Ghana are Asantes, the most tribalist foohhhhhhhls in Ghana are Asantes. Fante people will not do this foohhhhlish thing. Your queen mother is dead and the sitting president has shown respect to her and you Asante foohhhhhls look at what you foohhhhhhls are doing as they do not have fathers, and mothers or elders in so call the Asante Kingdom who can advise Asante foohhhhhls. No wonder the CIA agent J.B.Danquah and Akyem Mafia Busia come from these foohhhhhhlish Akan ethnic group. These foohhhhhls do not think about their dead queen mother. They think they are the only people going to vote in these election foohhhhhhls.
Brainwashed Primitive Bigots!!!
Ashanteman this is distasteful & shameful. You must bow your heads in shame. Sadly folks are painting Akuffo Addo as a violent man thanks to a hand full ***barred word***.
The leader of NPP is a violent person so it is no wonder that his supporters are misbehaving. That is the only language they understand and the difference between civility and backwardness
D E A D GO AT does not care abt hooting Mr security man. Why the president thinks he wil b met by buse ndc supporters. Welcome to real life. Wake up for him
1.5 million votes and 15 seats hahaha. Mahama kwraa does not respect himself only president to b booed wherever he goes. He talks too much trash. Trash meets gabbage . I know he's a ***barred word*** so why is everyone worried
This is all village life.They have turned Kumasi into a big village.They think their cocaine king is superior than the president.There's no kingdom in a republic.
Kkk who cares about you and your president who killed his boss to take his place? It was better for that so called security expert not to comment at all. When he insulted them of being ungrateful where was this guy? When he told them they will never appreciate nothing if even he tarred their roads was this not an insult more than anything? Did he come out to apologize? When he insulted them that they can't pronounce R&L was that not an insult when you have the Betty Mould Iddrisu,Konadu Agyeman and co who could speak better English than his wife. When it is mahama insulting that is fine when he gets it back he is the president, who put him there? Does the constitution give him the authority to insult the people? Even Obama get insulted how much more mahama. Tell him to respect the office he is occupying and be responsible and stop those loose talks since he will get them back. I don't feel a bit for that,because he got what he paid for.
