The news about his kingship has sparked many conversations on social media particularly because he is a Christian and many Ghanaians are of the view that it's not right.
The other major concern some Ghanaians have is the fact that an Ashanti man is enthroned as King in a Ga land.
Regardless of the displeasure many people expressed, some well-wishers congratulated him for his achievement.
YEN.com.gh has highlighted some of the comments people left after GhSplash.com posted a picture of Reverend Obour in his chieftaincy clothes on a Facebook page:
From Ato Kwame Gyan:
Worshipping two God's is abomination!
Nana Ajoa Kobeaba commented
His stool might be one of the honouring stools in the paramountcy. such stools are normally given to rich, hardworking, selfless etc people who contribute much in the paramountcy.Tradition is also religious so there is nothing wrong with him to a sub-chief
From Emmanuel Agyei
Rev obofour deserves to be a king because this guy has too much wisdom when speaking I love that.
