Leader of the Ghana Freedom Party, Akua Donkor, has urged Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to mediate and improve strained relations with Dormaahene, Oseadeeyo Asagyefo Agyemeng Badu II.

Akua Donkor, who asserted that she is, by tradition, a wife to the Ashanti overlord, pointed to Otumfuo's previous success in resolving tense relations with the Akyem Abuakwa Stool as evidence that he could similarly address the standoff with Dormaahene.

“You demonstrated a lot of wisdom in healing relations with the Akyem and that earned you the title of King Solomon, which is well deserved,” she said in an interview on Kofi TV.

Akua Donkor emphasized that if Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II successfully resolves the strained relations with Dormaahene Oseadeeyo Asagyefo Agyemang Badu II, it would further solidify his stature and be akin to achieving the wisdom and conflict resolution prowess attributed to King Solomon.

“The way you solved the Akyem issue, please do all it takes to fix the Dormaa issue… the Akyem issue was more contentious but you resolved it, so, please do same with the Dorrmaa case,” she added.

The recent dynamics between Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and Dormaahene Oseadeeyo Asagyefo Agyemang Badu II have been marked by a series of events, including Otumfuo's attendance at the funeral of Berekumhene. However, the participation of Dormaahene in the ceremony was blocked through a court process, leading to feelings of disappointment on his part.

Dormaahene expressed his distress over the situation, stating that he would not easily forget the turn of events. The reported court injunction preventing Dormaahene's participation was apparently aimed at preventing potential clashes between their respective followers, especially given recent tensions regarding the constitutional powers of Asantehene and jurisdictional matters.

In the context of these events, it's worth noting that in 2018, there were positive developments in the relationship between Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and Okyenhene. This included reciprocal visits, with Otumfuo visiting Akyem Abuakwa following an earlier visit by the Okyenhene to Manhyia. These meetings were seen by many as a positive step toward improving relations between the two influential monarchs.
