The Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr Agyemang Badu II, seems to be reigniting the long-standing dispute between himself and the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

Why Dormaahene is outraged with Otumfuo

The Dormanhene's outrage stems from the Asantehene's decision to elevate the Chief of Fiapre to paramountcy, arguing that the town is well-developed and can stand independently.

However, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr Agyemang Badu II is highly displeased with this decision and has vowed to resist any attempt to reverse it.

He argues that Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is a paramount Chief and has no authority to elevate another Chief who is outside his jurisdiction.

He thus cautioned the Asantehene, while addressing a gathering at the one-year anniversary of Dumasua Nkosuohene to refrain from such acts so that peace could reign between his jurisdiction and that of the Asantehene.
