The revelation was made by Otumfuo's respected linguist, Nana Kofi-Wusu, during discussions with a delegation from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which included General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, National Organizer Henry Nana Boakye, and Ernest Owusu Bempah, among other Ashanti regional executives.

The summons came in response to alleged disparaging comments made by the Ashanti regional Chairman of the party against Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II during the party's parliamentary vetting ahead of the January 27, 2024 primaries.Nana Kofi-Wusu expressed his disappointment, stating, "There's too much disrespect in how you guys are conducting your political activities, even though some NDC and NPP members accord us the needed respect.

"He went on to share a specific incident during their visit to Jubilee House: "Last time we came to your place, I mean Jubilee House, the President had traveled then, so we decided to visit the Vice President. When we got there, this was our treatment: 'Hay!! Don't pass here, pass here, go!' What they did to us in the Jubilee House, oh. But you come here with pride, we even facilitate your coming to Manhyia without any frustration.

"Nana Kofi-Wusu emphasized the contrasting treatment, pointing out that while political leaders are accorded respect when visiting Manhyia, the same courtesy is not reciprocated during their visits to the Jubilee House."The treatment was very bad and humiliating.

Most of you come to Manhyia with your cameras to even take pictures in Manhyia with Otumfuo, including when shaking hands with Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and us when you come here don't we allow you to do all this easily?" he questioned the NPP delegation.

He concluded by cautioning the NPP leaders, stating, "So, Nana B, Koduah, and all of you here, do you think we will allow you people in the time ahead of you to destroy Asanteman through NPP's political activities? No, it will never happen. Kick out the odd one that wants to destroy your party and the relation between Manhyia and the NPP. My proverb for you is that don't allow one groundnut to destroy thousands of your groundnut.

Remove the rotten one and throw it away for your peace."
