In a viral TikTok video, the lady known as @efya.achiaa4 warned the Krontihene of Akyem Asuom that disrespectful comments directed at the NPP flagbearer would not be tolerated.
She took offence to recent comments made by the chief in which he stated that, regardless of the vigorous campaign Bawumia embarks on, he would never become president.
“Ohene, be careful. Never in your life talk about Dr Mahamudu Bawumia again. What kind of stupid talk is that?” she said.
The Krontihene of Akyem Asuom first rose to fame late last year when he described the NPP flagbearer aspirants as “Sankwas,” meaning they were not fit for purpose.
Kwabena Agyapong’s caution to Akyem Krontihene
One of the aspirants, Kwabena Agyapong, who was unhappy about the remarks, strongly labelled the chief’s comments as disrespectful and unbecoming of someone occupying a traditional stool.
He said he was highly disappointed in the utterances of the Krontihene, stating that he is also a royal and appreciates the respect and candour that come with being a traditional ruler.
He consequently advised Nana Obo-Dade III to respect himself and the stool he occupies and steer away from misguided political commentary.
Kwabena Agyapong, a former General Secretary of the NPP, stated that Nana Boadi Amponim Obo-Dade III has the right to express his views on political matters, but he ought to do so within acceptable limits.
