A youth group; Asante Youth Association has bared its teeth at the overlord of Akyem-Abuakwa over alleged disrespect shown to Otumfour Osei Tutu II through his delegation to the final funeral rites of the late MP for Abuakwa North.
The group accuses the bodyguards of the Akyem Abuakwahene of visibly assaulting Otumfour’s representative and entire delegation to the event.
They argue in a statement that the delegation of power by Otumfour Osei Tutu II “in effect makes Asamponhene(Oheneba Kwadwo Fordjour) the Otumfuor at the said event as far as custom and tradition is concerned and as such any action he undertakes represents the might of Ohenekese Otumfour Osei Tutu II.”
The Asante Youth Association have therefore served warning to the Okyenhene and his subjects to desist from future acts of disrespect towards the Ashanti throne since “this occurrence if one can recall happens to be the second time in some few years aside some minor unruly and rude manifestations on the part of this same chief (Akyem Abuakwahene) and his subjects, the former occurring at Amanokrom.”

AYA EXPRESSES DISAPPOINTMENT IN AKYEM ABUAKWAHENE FOR DISPLAY OF GROSS DISRESPECT TOWARDS ASANTE
————————————————————————————————–
Asantehene, His Royal Highness Otumfuor Osei Tutu II in his wisdom delegated power to Asamponhene(Oheneba Kwadwo Fodjuor). And in accompaniment was an entourage to represent him at the final funeral rites of the late MP for Abuakwa North.
This in effect makes Asamponhene(Oheneba Kwadwo Fordjour) the Otumfuor at the said event as far as custom and tradition is concerned and as such any action he undertakes represents the might of Ohenekese Otumfour Osei Tutu II.
Common sense simply teaches everyone this simple extrapolation.
Again by custom the Akyem-Abuakwahene Amotia Oforipanin should be seated before the representative of Otumfuo, Asamponhene(Oheneba Kwadwo Fordjour).This, tradition and custom demands!
In an unnecessary confrontation, the defaulter; bodyguards of Akyem Abuakwahene visibly assaulted the delegation of his royal majesty.
We find it extremely worrying that some strange weapons were thrown at the entourage,specifically, Asafohene as well as chief of Nyameani resulting in a cut at the back of his ear.
This occurrence if one can recall happens to be the second time in some few years aside some minor unruly and rude manifestations on the part of this same chief (Akyem Abuakwahene) and his subjects, the former occurring at Amanokrom.
Making it as short as possible, the youth of Asante authoritatively warn the chief that he risks his subjects and he as a chief of Abuakwa.
One should not loose the fact that Asante speaks with authority and if there’s is a law that no animal should not hunt the other, that does not mean one animal can use one’s mouth as a playing ground. Hence the possibility to declare him(Akyem-Abuakwahene, Amotia Ofori Panyin) persona non grata for such display of gross wantonness and impudence. In no circumstantial event, should his attendance be seen on any soil of Asante Kingdom. As he carried himself out there, worse of such shall be meted out to him in return.
