It appears that former President John Dramani Mahama's letter which was copied to Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has sparked another controversy.
On Tuesday, a letter dated January 10, 2017 was released by the former President withdrawing his request to keep his official residence and to use a State bungalow as his office.
Former President John Mahama copied not only President Nana Akufo-Addo in his letter but also the Asantehene.
This seems to have taken a new twist as NPP Communicator; Nana Boakye has questioned the motive of the former President for copying the Asantehene in his withdrawal letter.
There are unconfirmed reports that a meeting may have been held between President Akufo-Addo and Former President John Mahama over the request before it was withdrawn.
Nana Boakye has questioned Mr. Mahama on why he copied the Asantehene.
According to him, Asantehene is the paramount Chief of the Asantes and also very preeminent in the country.
Nana Boakye admonished the former President to leave the Asantehene out of his business.
He described Ex-President Mahama's letter copied to Asantehene as "irresponsible", asking "why do you draw my eminent King into such controversy? For what purpose? I can’t understand it; for what purpose . . . Ffor me, I think it was so irresponsible; so irresponsible.”

Nana Boakye please as communicator try to inquire before you talk. That is what your role is not just talk any anyhow.
I AM KOLIKO ,I KNOW AM STU===DID ,BUT I DONT CARE.AM HALF PEPE HALF EWE TRIBALISTIC BAS--TARD. I HATE ASHANTI AND JEALOUS OF THEIR WEALTH.ASHANTIS ARE BRAINY AND INTELIGENT.ITS MY UP BRINGING THAT MADE ME A BIG FUUUULLL.KIND REGARDS KOLIKO DOG.
Asantehene should rather not drag himself into issues like this . Tagor cocaine his named popped up , MV Benjamin cocaine his name popped up , missing gold in Norway his name popped up , his name keeps piping up in almost every scandal in the country . He should shut the ***barred word*** if he does not want his name to be dragged into disrepute
It is sad that Mahama begging for a property on the GA soil could not find it necessary to copy any Ga chief, not even his openly supported Gbese mantse , but rather copied Asantehene. Does the property in question belong to the Asantehene? or is the land in Accra also under the Customary rights of the Asantehe? JDM did not treat the Ga state with respect at all and you could have the Ga(s) who keep blindly supporting the NDC. When you fail to uphold the integrity required of you, you end up loosing the needed respect and recognition and that is just what NDC does to the Ga people. Same was done to the Fantes in the Central Region when because of Politics and money, Their so called gods did not find any importance for ban on drumming any longer yet they went around disturbing churches. Lets Rise with wisdom to prevent politicians taking us for granted
We all respect the position of Asantehene, for he is occupying a prestigious position. But we also know his position as NDC sympathizer. Mahama approached Otumfo to use his powers to plead on his behalf and on behalf of his corrupt ministers, that they may not be prosecuted in court. Ghanaians should wake up and tell our president Nana Addo not to heed the plea of Mahama, for we the voters will be seriously disappointed in him and his government if he listens to Otumfo and let these corrupt "babies with sharp teeth" go unpunished.
This NPP guy Nana Boakye should not pretend to be a naive spectator to the unfortunate situation in which the Ashanthene -Kweku Dua was dragged into this Jon Mahama cesspit of faeces ; the fact of the matter is that historicaly the Ashantehent have being a strong supporter of the NDC and also a close frined of the Jon Mahama family ; he is close to Alfred Mahama and Ibrahim Mahama and thereby was even given the opportunity to use Ibrahim Mahamas private jet to London ;Ghanaians working at Heathrow in London saw it ; then there was the incident in which this Ashantehene was seen on the net dancing with Jon Mahama to the tune of 'YEN TIE OBIARA' ; then there were was the case of the 2012 elections in which the Ashantehene was said to have influenced the judges by been the broker of cash to these judges led by Justice Atuguba who just after the declaration of Jon Mahama as the President disappeared to the US ;the Ashantehene was told by his elders to refrain from such political initiatives ; there are also cases of the Ashantehene chasing these young ladies at Yaa Ashantewaa senior High school ; the truth of the matter is that this krooked Ashantehene some may not like it to be said have before he became the Ashantehene aka Kweku Dua have had a very dubious life in London And Canada ; doing dirty deals is nothing new to the man because he thinks he is above the law ; the man may be the Asahantehene but he is not the Ghanahene is not above the laws of Ghana so why does Jon Mahama drag this man as an estate broker besides Jon Mahama knows that Jon Mahama family have got some good prime estates in Accra; to me the whole saga points to the evil mentality of this Jon Mahama attempting to drag everybody into his own faeces; THE ASHANTHENE SHOLD BE WARNED BY HIS ELDERS NOT TO GET INVOLVE WITH THIS JON MAHAMA FAMILY BECAUSE THIS GREDDY FAMILY IS DRAGGING THE NAME OF ASHATEMAN INTO THE CESSPIT OF FAECES !!!!!!!.
OYIWA !!!, Nibii ni afioc ateeo le, ateeo nI anaa. One day, one day all the 'evil, heinious things men have done in secret shall be brought to light. And 'this' shall be before the 'INCORRUPTIBLE' KING.
PLEASE, LET US TRY TO RESPECT PEOPLE WHO HOLD POSSITION IN OUR COUNTRY. AND STOP THE INSULT. WE NEED IDEAS TO BUILD OUR NATION, SO BRING YOURS. A MAN IS KNOW BY HIS WORDS THANKS.
I thought since the building in question is in Accra,it would have been appropriate to rather involve the Ga Mantse but not Otumfour.
Guys we shouldall know that Asantehene Nana Otumfuo Osei TutuII deserves to get a copy from the ex-president in that Ashanti Kingdom is a nation by itself. Asantehene is thehead of Asante nation and he deserves to hear anything concerning of Ghana per se. We should all know that Asante Empire joined the then Gold Coast in 1901 and continued the agreement until today after independence. S it is legitimate forPrez. Mahama to consider making all things known to Asantehene and he is damned right to do so........
