The Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council has given the leadership of the opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) three days to render a public apology to the Okyehene for some unsavory comments an Ashanti Regional executive of the party made about their King.
The Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC, Kwame Zu was heard making what the Council considers to be uncomplimentary remarks about the Okyehene.
He suggested that the King drank the same water with animals prior to the John Mahama led administration coming into power.
The Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council led by its State Secretary Daniel Marfo Ofori addressing the media after a demonstration Monday morning roundly condemned the comments.
“We demand a direct, clear and unambiguous apology rendered by the leadership of the National Democratic Congress to His Royal Majesty the Okyehene and Okyeman. A ritual pacification be performed to appease his Majesty the Okyehene. An apology rendered personally by Mr. Kwame Zu to the Okyehene and a public recantation of the offensive words and specific conduct complained of. Invocation of appropriate disciplinary sanction of the party against Mr Kwame Zu.””
“Should they choose to ignore these pronouncements and demands, Nananom will not accord them any future request for clemency and redemption of their customary transgressions. If they fail to heed the National Democratic Congress(NDC) its ward executive, branch, constituency, regional and national executive will be banned from all official functions under the auspices of the Ofori Panin stool and shall be declared persona non grata in all palaces of the over 940 towns and villages and settlements in Akyem Abuakkwa,” The State Secretary added.

Ndc are playing with fire but I don't blame them their end is coming hence their coup plot of locally manufactured guns and grenades to distabilize this country.Julius Debrah looking like a toad think Ghana belongs to him and his boss hence his brother and cousins of Kwame Zu think they can take the country by storm but those they are dealing with are sophisticated than them. Mo nkurasefuo like you how can you deal with people who most were educated abroad and even some worked for intelligent agencies abroad ! you see how you are always exposed by them tell us how many of these ndc people were trained abroad or had a good job abroad? if this doctor was sucessful wherever he was in America how can he use a container as an X'ray department and turned it into gun manufacturing place ndc are cheap and nkurasefuo! whatever evil they will plan against this country will be exposed. John mahama can never be president again in any shape or form ! they thought their evil plan was secret and they were coming back to power so insulted our kings and our people idi*ots as they are were over excited and insulting everyone because Ghana was going to be in their hands forever and ever by their coup hahahahaha! that was the mind of these foo*00ls and my question is how can you defeat somebody who had beaten you mercilessly when you had power and everything and even your IT was broken and they were moving on? it shows how sophisticated they are and how low and cheap you are! ndc were making bombs and grenades to kill Ghanaians and they want Hon. Bryan Acheampong and Sulemana to be punished for intervening to save Ghanaians from their wrath and Emile Short Commission advised the kriminals must be awarded and those who sacrificed for the nation to be punished what logic? now! where are they the Emile Short commission who gave these f00*00ls the wings to misbehave in this country! they were arming themselves with guns and grenades to target shopping malls and markets to kill innocent Ghanaians because they were left off the hook and the good guys must be punished the logic of some Ghanaians!There are some ndc members who should be banned from all military installations!and our military must be very careful with greedy people who want to use them and it is not easy to stage a coup in Africa now you can be charged with treason and die for nothing and your mission in vain! it will be difficult for you to succeed and hand over to the ndc on a silver platter! and look at the faces of those evil men none of them look attractive such ug*ly things think Ghana is cheap like their party ndc. Mmoa, nkwaseafuo! treason is treason and no mercy! they should be killed !!! they aimed at killing Ghanaians for nothing, Ghana doesn't belong to them neither their ndc and they can GO!
This akyem people are crazy. They think they can intimidate NDC. I will be very disappointed if NDC goes and apologize. Because there is nothing to apologize. An individual have made a statement, how does it make NDC as a party complicit. Does the okyehene and his palace think Ghana belong to them. Even gabby otchere darko and asante bediatuo who insulted a better king than what did asantehene do to them.
i don't accept disrespect to authorities especially traditional leaders BUT okyehene and the traditional leaders must do one thing, ALLOW TRIVIAL ISSUES go. look, when there was a statement by former COS of prez mahama, the chiefs in ashanti kingdom gathered to make a statement but as wise as the king otumfuo is, they dissolve and no statement was made. now prez mahama has cautioned his people and the issue has died naturally. if you don't copy same but use the presidential power to comment and demonstrate, even if npp wins again, akyem only have 4 more years, the next npp if they win government from 2024 may not be akyem so where will the dignity of the akyem chieftancy be. its advantage to have ya grandson etc as the president, instead of trivia issues like these, i expect the okyeman to advise the president at least to deviate from the era of presidents ignoring their home region. rawlings did little for Volta, kuffour few for asante region, mills almost nothing for people of central region, mahama also did nothing or just lil for the northern regions in Ghana. is time the okyeman take advantage to advise the president to at least build more industries with its 1D1F and stop the ***barred word*** of demonstration etc. political advantage last but at most 8 years and after, where will akyem be. kuffour lasted 8 years but after, otumfour still holds dignity from mills, mahama and even nana addo now, its time okyeman takes this advise, PROJECTS not PROTEST
Is it not true that the Okyehene competed with animals for water in various unsafe sources until the former President provided water for residents of Kyebi which is the hometown of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
This is tribal politics pure and simple. You only see such things in primitive societies. A whole president's hometown citizens demonstrating against the opposition party ,the NDC. IT IS DISGRACEFUL!!!
Why a whole political party decided to target a tribal group just because the sitting President belongs to that tribe beats my imagination. NDC made the Akyems their punching bag and the Akyems are just saying they've had enough of your senseless behaviour.
