The Kontihene of Sunyani Traditional Council, Nana Bofotia Boaponsem II, says the appointment of Lawyer Kwaku Asomah- Cheremeh as the Brong Ahafo Regional Minister shows the disrespectful nature of President Akufo-Addo.
According to him, the appointment of Asomah-Cheremeh irrespective of his gross insubordination to the Sunyani Traditional Council proves the point that the entire NPP executives in Brong Ahafo and the President, Nana Akufo-Addo are in support of his behaviour.
The clearly livid Kontihene told Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show host, Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie that Nana Obiri Boahen, NPP’s deputy General Secretary's remarks that the Sunyani Traditional Council does not have the locus to reject the President's nominee affirms belief that the party [NPP] has no respect for Chieftaincy Institution in the country.
Kontihene recounted that lawyer Asomah-Cheremeh incited the public to disregard Chieftaincy Institution by refusing to comply with their orders.
“It is not only the legal process which is used to govern the country; tradition and culture are also used to govern a country, and also we use conventions and Common Law to govern a country as it is captured in the Constitution”, he averred.
“How can you [Asomah-Cheremeh] be a leader in a region where you incite the public against Chieftaincy Institution? He has no respect and recognition to the Chieftaincy Institution. Appointing Asomah-Cheremeh as Brong Ahafo Regional Minister shows the disrespectful nature of Nana Akufo-Addo in addition to Asomah-Cheremeh who he [Nana Addo] is encouraging”, he fumed.
He added that no matter how small Obiri Boahen will describe the Sunyani Traditional Council, it remains a sovereign traditional council; thus, he expected the NPP’s Deputy General Secretary to calm tempers down but it appears, he is inciting the youth to disrespect the traditional council.
"....this issue of the 80 percent declaration by the Sunyani Omanhene for former President Mahama, as a result of which the NPP’s Chairman for Brong Ahafo denigrated the Paramount Chief in public, the same Omanhene said to Candidate Akufo Addo that by his next visit to Sunyani, he will be the President...why did the NPP never insult the Paramount Chief for those assertions?" Nana Boamponsem II rhetorically asked.

ONE OF THESE PRIMITIVE CHIEFS PLEDGED 80% VOTES IN B/A TO NDC AND MAHAMBOLE BUT THE GOOD PEOPLE OF BRONG AHAFO VOTED FOR PROGRESS(NPP AND NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO ADDO). THIS MEANS THE WISE PEOPLE OF BRONG AHAFO SEE THIR CHIEFS AS SO THIN WITTED OAFS. THEY SHOULD ***barred word*** AND ALLOW US TO PISS, CHAMA!!!
The Republic of Ghana is a sovereign nation state run under and by a constitution: the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, in our case. Ghana stands and sits as a sovereign national republic, composed of regions and districts, absolutely held unified together as one body whose elected government holds power for administration of the country. Every district and every region is subservient to the united Republic of Ghana whose elected and sworn President rules, and in our case, rules by a constitution. We advise that every chief studies this factual political fact, and learn to see their definition in the build of the country. A district or a region is only a serving part of the one whole country. Ghana is one whole sovereign nation state. Ghana runs by the constitution she has given herself. The chieftaincy institution in Ghana needs to acknowledge and study this fact: every chief in any region of Ghana is ruled and controlled by the Ghana 1992 Constitution. The chiefs hold the land they sit over in trust to the Republic of Ghana. The elected and sworn President of Ghana rules by this constitution, and holds.
AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN PEACE FM ONLINE AND OK FM. I PERSONALLY LISTENED TO THIS INTERVIEW GRANTED BY THE CHIEF. IT WAS A SLIP OF TONGUE BY THE CHIEF WHEN TRYING TO MENTION NANA OBIRI BOAHENE BEING DISRESPECTFUL AND MENTIONED NANA ADDO. WHEN THIS HAPPENED KWAME NKRUMAH TEKESIE WAS NOT LISTENING, I KNOW IF HE WAS,HE WOULD HAVE PROMPTED THE CHIEF TO CONFIRM THAT PORTION OF HIS COMMENTS OR OTHERWISE. I AM SAYING THIS BECAUSE THE WHOLE DISCUSSION WAS ON NANA OBIRI'S COMMENTS HE HAD MADE EARLIER ON THE SAME RADIO STATION. THE CHIEF'S COMMENTS WAS ON NANA OBIRI BOAHENE,AND ALSO REALIZED THATTHE CHIEF WAS VERY CAREFUL CHOOSING HIS WORDS.HE NEVER MENTIONED ANY NATIONAL EXECUTIVE OF THE PARTY.HE ONLY SPOKE ABOUT THE REGIONAL EXECUTIVES. SO THE PREZ. NANA ADDO'S NAME CAME AS A SLIP OF TONGUE WHEN MENTIONING THE NAME OF NANA OBIRI BOAHENE.
If you, a mere KONTIHENE, can describe a sitting president as disrespectful then it speaks volumes of the sort of "royal upbringing" you received. KONTIHENE my foot!
Its not for nothing that the constitution had simple common sense laws including one that chiefs should stay out of politics. You have the effrontery to disrespect the President and his pick for regional minister? You are crying of disrespect? Who would respect you? You do not deserve any respect. Respect should be earned, not demanded. Ghana is a sovereign nation, a republic and I can tell you that even your subjects will not respect you because you have not been able to obey common sense rules in the constitution. We owe you no respect and a man of the stature of Nana Addo knows that he does not need to listen to people who do not respect themselves. All the best with your new regional Minister. If you cannot live you him, you can move in with JDM or the NDC either in Bole Bamboi or Accra
