According to him, the Monarch does not deserve the attacks.

Afia Pokua was upset that Otumfuo had been silent over an online feud between the people of Dormaa and Ashantis and also called him out for his apparent silence on the matter of galamsey.
The young lady later realised she had made a mistake and apologised at Manhyia Place. However, her apology was rejected on several grounds, such as not having her parents come with.
