The Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeyo Agyeman II has jabbed the Asante Overlord and King of the Ashanti Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II over his remarks on the Takyiman Hene.
In a tweet shared by X (formerly Twitter) user @eddie_wrt, the Dormaa Hene is captured fuming over Otumfuo, addressing a paramount chief like the Takyiman Hene as his younger brother and
"Previously, there were rumors suggesting that the Techiman Chief had distanced himself from the violent and uncouth actions of others. Now, let me ask you—when you accuse people of engaging in dubious activities, wouldn't you consider that an insult?
How can you claim that a great chief like the Techiman Hene, who presides over all of us, is your younger brother? Explain to me how he could be your younger brother.
By implying that the Techiman Hene has separated himself from these uncultured acts, you're essentially suggesting that some of us are still involved in such behavior" he asserted.
Considering the status of the Takyiman Hene, the Dormaahene advised a retraction of statement by the Asantehene.
"He repeated that statement three times, and the crowd cheered in agreement, but it should never be said again. When have I, as a king, ever made such remarks? Those comments must be retracted immediately" he added.
Among the many things he criticised Otumfuo a major remarks he found offensive labelling it as a direct attack on him by the Asantehene is the fact that , he was classified as a silly person, who is overconfident and a show off.
""When have I, as a king, ever made such remarks? Those comments must be retracted. He also mentioned that some of us are merely showoffs, full of overconfidence.
What Otumfuo criticized me for was questioning the type of foolish acts I was supposedly engaged in. Tell me, are such comments meant to be downplayed or taken lightly? He is hiding behind customs and traditions to take undue advantage" he said.
