The Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council in the Eastern region has called the bluff of a future NDC government saying it won’t compromise its stance on the pending impasse, even if the main opposition will deny them development in an NDC administration.
“That wouldn’t be the first time a certain government may turn its back on Okyeman, because of some political reasons. There has been such situation before that manifested in tension between Nananom and some past regimes, right from Nkrumah era till date. So we would actually not be cowed into silence because of political favour.” State Secretary of Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council, Daniel Marfo Ofori Atta told Kasapa 102.5 Fm.
He claims the best way to settle the simmering tension is an unqualified apology from the opposition NDC to Okyeman if the NDC has any respect and dignity for the Traditional council and the entire Okyeman.
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 HAS NOT THROUGHOUT THEIR REIGN DONE ANYTHING MEANINGFUL FOR EASTERN REGION, BE IT KWAHU, AKIM ABUAKWA, AKIM KOTOKU, AKIM BOSOME OR AKWAPIM. THEY SHOULD GO AWAY WITH THEIR DEVELOPMENT, EASTER REGION HAS BEEN SELF-DEVELOPING AND THIS IS PAINFUL TRUTH. WE HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ANYTHING AND DON'T NEED ANYTHING FROM ACIDIC MOUTH NDC.
Apuutor no Akyem member insulted Asantehene take your ndc ***barred word*** from Ashanti fir your own flagbearer and his aid sent an insulting statement to Asantehene and Asanteman as liars, don't bring yourself have you settled that one with Otumfuo and Asanteman or you think it's a joke? do you know Asanteman also gave you ultimatum to apologize or you don't ever step Manhyia? Listen Gabby Okyere Darko's father is an Ashanti if you don't know and from the Oyoko clan as Otumfuo is in the same clan if you don't know the tradition and custom don't talk that is what has landed you in trouble! Ashantis and Akyem are one people hence Okyeman ne Asanteman stop talking about Akans for we value our Kings and chiefs and our tradition and custom.This will serve you well to show respect to the good people of Ghana! how can you be voted out unprecedented and humiliatingly by the good people of Ghana and you turn around to come back with insults ,arrogance and impunity and you expect them to vote for you who do you in the ndc think you are? if they liked you why would they vote against you to send you to opposition? and as st*upid as you are instead of finding what led to your humiliating defeat you rather chose in a hurry to come back to power with overt or covert means and you see your foolis*hness has landed you in trouble in Atebubu, Asanteman and Otumfuo and now Okyenhene and Okyeman and I believe the rest of the traditional areas of Ghana have water near them to quench the fire when their beards catch fire because nobody knows when these uncult*ured and uncou*th disrespectful and arrogant ndc babies with sharp and forklift teeth will attack
This is very ***barred word*** and infantile response from okyeman counsel. What is the total voter population in okyeman. This tribal none sense must stop. Is the okyehene the only chief in ghana. What about telling Ghanaians I will support any coup in ghana if only my relatives will benefit and the and all others will die. is that logic?
Woaa hw3!!! This is how far your "stewpifity" has taken you to!!! There is more to this than you guys mean.... If you claim someone has insulted you, and the person has apologize but don't accept the apology, do you now turn round and take on his entire family if you do not have any ill motive?
OH SO THE AKYEMS NOW CLAIM TO BE NPP. IF THE NPP CAN NOT BITE YOU HIDE UNDER THE TRADITIONAL COUNCIL TO HATE THE NDC. WE KNOW IT IT THE NPP IN THE TRADITIONAL AREA THAT STAGED THE DEMONSTRATION. NDC ALL THE WAY FOR THEY KNOW NDC WILL WI. IN FACT ADVISE YOUR CHIEF TO STAY AWAY FROM POLITICS ABD BE SAFE
Who cares. Well noted
'This NDC party? Do they have regard for chief and the elderly? Their ONLY intentions of coming to power is to CREATE, LOOT & SHARE!
so therefore do not complain when ndc come to power and do not bring dev to your villages oooooo
So does it make it right for someone else to continue in same direction?
When Some akyem members of the NPP insulted Asantehene did the NPP apologise?When Freddy Blay insulted Togbe Afede did the NPP apologise? Step back,Okyeman!!!.Tribal politics is not acceptable.
