A Ghanaian woman, who hails from Kwaku in the Eastern Region of Ghana, has dissociated Kwawu from Afia Pokua's derogatory remarks against the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

Afia Pokua, during a live TV show on Onua TV, called out the Asantehene for failing to quench a social media feud between the Ashantis and the people of Dormaa.

During her remarks, she also accused Ashantis of feeling superior to other tribes. She categorically stated that she was from Kwawu, a statement later found by the Manhyia Chiefs to be unfounded.
