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.

I AM VERY HAPPY NANA AKUFFO ADDO IS NOT DETRACTED BY THIS TOBONKOSO CHIEFS OF SUNYANI TRADITION AREA. THEY ARE SO USELESSS AND UNREASONABLE, OBSOLETE AND ARCHAIC THAT THEY DONT DESERVE A LITTLE ATTENTION OF NANA AKUFFO ADDO OR ANY OF HIS GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.THEY ARE SO DISGRACEFUL AMONG THEIR OWN PEOPLE THAT THE WANT ATTENTION FROM ELSEWHERE TO BOOST THEIR IMAGE. NOBODY SHOULD SHOULD BE AIMLESS TO GIVE THEM THAT ATTENTION. THEY MUST BE LEFT TO THEMSELVES IN THEIR OWN SHAME AND DISGRACE.
SEBEEEOO ASANTEHENE WOULD NOT SPEAK TO THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA IN THIS WAY LIKE THIS UNWISE CHIEFS ARE DOING. I HOPE THE KING MAKERS OF SUNYANI TRADITIONAL AREA WILL ADVICE THEMSELVES TO AVOID THIS UNCOUTHHH BEHAVIOR OF THE CHIEFS INVOLVED, IF THEY WANTS THE CITIZENS OF SUNYANI TO RESPECT THEM. THE PEOPLE SHOWED BY THEIR VOTES THAT THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN TO THOSE CHIEFS TO GIVE 80% OF THEIR VOTE TO NDC. THE PEOPLE RATHER VOTED MASSIVELY FOR NANA ADDO AND NPP. THE CHIEFS BY THEY ACTIONS MAY INITIATE THEIR OWN DISSTOOLMENT IF THEY FAIL TO RESPECT THE VIEWS OF THE PEOPLE.
What make this so callef chief think he is more Ghanaian than some of US or more Bono Ahafo than some of US.you are kontihene not because of your intelligence or your special quality but because may be you are the only sensible person in your family but that sensibility of yours ends at your fence wall.I agree with Aseidu Nkathia that any xtupid royal can be a chief but it takes a sensible royal to bring fame and honour to the stool they occupy not phuuul like you who has made politics to overrides your sense of judgement.
I think this NDC chief is dragging the whole sunyani paramount stool into the mud how can you called the president disrespectful and expect his followers to give you respect.your bias towards npp was clear for all to see but it seems you have not revive from the shock of the defeat.is better you accept the reality that your party that gave you and some chief V8 is no more in power because of the way the use public funds to sponsor some of the corrupt chiefs like you. you better wake up from your shock or run to sea,whaether you like it or not nana Addo is who we have voted for.
It very stu..pid on da part of da so called kontihene or who ever his ***barred word*** name is to insult Nana Addo, if he is a mole to NDC he shd stay dat way n leave Nana Addo alone. ***barred word***
This is the most unchiefly statement I've ever heard in this country. What does this chief of himself? His wish must be everyone's command? This is disgusting to say the least.
