The Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State, Togbe Afede XIV, has reportedly rejected gifts Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong sent him as part of the ongoing Te Za (Yam Festival).

The renowned Chief is expected to cap this year's Yam Festival celebration, which started on August 6, with other traditional leaders and the people of the Asogli State on Sunday, September 11.

Besides upholding tradition, the one-month-long festival seeks to foster and promote unity, reconciliation, stocktaking, and development in the Asogli State.

The occasion also provides the chiefs and people in the Asogli State the annual opportunity to reunite with their ancestors and reaffirm their allegiance to the Agbogbome Stool.

Graphic Online reports that Kennedy Agyapong graced a sitting on Friday at the Asogli State Palace Forecourt in Ho with gifts.

The gifts were, however, rejected at the durbar on the grounds that the MP uses unkind words on Togbe Afede.

In videos, some voices at the durbar ground could be heard booing away the outspoken legislator.
