His comment comes after Nana Agyemang Badu II held a gathering to address recent issues concerning him.

The Dormaa ruler commented on the issue of Kofi Adomaa Nwanwani, free SHS and issues on Galamsey and its alleged perpetrators.

In his remarks, he reportedly jabbed the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, which did not sit well with many Ghanaians.

Dormaahene addresses Kwafie incident

The Dormaahene spoke about what transpired during last year's Kwafie Festival in Dormaa.

He said the allegations on the rumoured incidents that were reported to have happened during the event should be seen as propaganda.

Nana Agyeman Badu II said Ghanaians would know they had treated him unfairly if he delved into details on the matter.

Dormaahene speaks on galamsey, alleged perpetrators

The Dormaahene also alleged that some prominent traditional rulers were involved in galamsey, and commented on the Asantehene's decision to elevate some stools to paramountcy.

Additionally, he called out Otumfuo for not voicing concerns about the Free Senior High School policy under the NPP government but finding the confidence to address the matter under the John Mahama administration.

Rev Opambour found the remarks unbefitting of a traditional ruler to use against his fellow monarch and asked the Dormaahene to be mindful of his words. He noted that such comments could be a recipe for division in the country.

"Dormaahene, I respect you a lot but I won't allow you to make certain remarks. We all want peace in this country. When Otumfuo was speaking (on the issues) he didn't mention your name so we don't expect you to address him in such a manner," he said.
