On Friday, September 9, Togbe Afede XIV, Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State, rejected some gifts that Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, MP, Assin Central, had given to the Asogli State residents in honor of their annual Yam Festival.

The MP traveled to Ho on Friday to honor the Chiefs and residents of the Asogli State. At that point, the Asogli State Palace Forecourt's Paramount Chief was seated in State.

According to a graphic online reportage, the durbar ground rejected the gifts the MP sent.

Some sub-chiefs who acted as middlemen to accept the gifts on Togbe Afede's behalf turned down the presents and requested that the MP takes them away.

In the report, graphic online stated that, the chiefs and people cited some negative remarks and use of unkind words on Togbe Afede XIV by the MP, who is seeking to become the flagbearer of the governing NPP.

A video depicting Mr Agyapong on the durbar grounds had some voices in the background shouting "away".

The gifts, including cartons of bottled water, were packed back into the vehicle.

This year's yam festival of the Chiefs and people of Asogli State is being climaxed this weekend under the distinguished patronage of Togbe Afede XIV.

The festival started on August 6, 2022, and is expected to end on Sunday, September 11.

The one-month festival seeks to highlight unity, reconciliation, stocktaking and development and is also a platform for the annual reunion with the ancestors and the re-affirmation of allegiance by all chiefs and their subjects in the Asogli State to the Agbogbome Stool.
