Kwawu Woman Distances Indigens From Afia Pokua's Comments: "We Did Not Send Her"

• A video of a Ghanaian woman who hails from Kwawu distancing Kwawus from Afia Pokua's comments has surfaced online
• Afia Pokua has recently come under fire following some denigrating comments about the Asantehene
• The woman in the video, however, claimed that Kwawus have nothing to do with Afia Pokua's comments

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.

In response to her comments, the Ghanaian woman @kyaadieafua on TikTok from Kwawu insisted that Afia Pokua's comments do not reflect Kwawus' general views.

"If you have any battles with Ashantis, fight your battles alone. Do not draw us into it," she stressed in her video.
