Politician to sue "Old Asante Kingdom"

...unless Otumfuo is officially referred to as King
The old Asante "Kingdom" may soon face Lawsuit by a Pan-Africanist and "Royal Politician" unless the Asanteman Council of Chiefs and officials of the Manhyia Palace henceforth, officially refer to any occupant of the Golden Stool or Throne as King, (Example : King Otumfuo Osei Tutu II), in official correspondences and public announcements - (in the same way as white people in Europe refer to occupants of their Thrones as Kings and / or Queens ) --- and "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng, formerly known by Ghanaians around the World as "Kwame Mayor" has also called for the elevation of the status of (all) Ghanaian Paramount Chiefs, regardless of Ethnic Group or Tribal affiliation, to befit the Pride and Dignity of African People.

The Politician has faulted President John Agyekum Kuffuor's government for failing to promote Africa's Personality as Ghana's first President Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah did.

"The government of former President Jerry John Rawlings did nothing to promote "African Personality, African Royalty and African Pride" and the ruling government of His Excellency, President John Agyekum Kuffuor, (although deserves credit for establihing the Ministry of Chieftaincy Affairs), has also failed to promote the essence of "African Personality, African Royalty and African Pride", charged the Pan-Africanist and Maverick Politician who is fuming that "Whereas the White Man in Spain, Britain, etc, etc, call their Powerful "Traditional Leaders" Kings and / or Queens, the black man and black woman in Ghana will not call their [own] Powerful Traditional Leaders Kings !!!".

The "Royal Politician" who enjoys recounting his African history, especially the naked fact that his own biological ancestors from the Adonteng Puduo Royal Family of Bamang, near the famouse Kente weaving Town of Bonwire in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, gallantly fought back !!! --- against the "White Man's Colonialism and Imperialism" or the "Domination of Africa's Land by our White Brothers and Sisters", said he has "Nothing to apologise for telling the World Community about the capabilities of African People and the pride of the proverbial Black King and Black Queen --- vis a vis White Kings and White Queens".

" If they glorify Joan of Arc of France, I see no reason why I should not be allowed to glorify African Legends such as Queen-Warrior Nana Yaa Asantewaa", said the Politician who has appealed to Ghanaians to be proud enough to tell the heroic deeds of African People such as Nii Okai Koi, a great King of the Ga People of Ghana, Nana Tetteh Quarshie who brought Cocoa to Ghana, Nana Kwegyir Aggrey, one of the greatest scholars who ever lived in Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Dr. J.B. Danquah, Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia, and all the historical and powerful figures among the various Ethnic or Tribal Groups in Ghana - whether Gas, Ewes, Fantes, Ashantis, Brongs, Dagombas, Sisalas, Akuapems, etc.

"Be Proud of your Heritage (and) other People's Heritage too !!!", the Politician advised Ghanaians and other African People.

MEANWHILE, the 2008 Aspiring President, "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng, has publicly congratulated Professor Agyemang Badu Akosah of the Convention People's Party (CPP) for his historic declaration of his Candidacy to run for President of Ghana.

As usual, "Osagyefo", leader of the UHURU AFRICAN CONVENTION (UAC), the first Political Party towards Africa's Continental Union Government or United States of Africa, sparred a little in the "Political Boxing Ring" - saying :

"It is the Gospel Truth that "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng, formerly called "Kwame Mayor" has been the "Brain Power of Powerful Ideas" behind some of the Monumental Ideas in Ghana which President Kuffuor's government has always taken the full credit and has never given me any credit --- whether it is "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng's idea of "importing South Africa's Model of Truth and Reconciliation Commission to Ghana", the idea of building a "State of the Art" Presidential Palace in Ghana to attract Tourism like the White House, the idea of erecting Statutes for the Martyred Judges in Ghana, the idea of allowing Ghanaians living abroad to register to vote, which eventually culminated into "Ropa Law", the idea of granting "Dual Citizenship" to blacks in the Diaspora, the idea of re-inventing Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's call for a Continental African Union Government of which Ghana's Postal Office's mailed letters in 2005 - (registration receipt number 00027 to the office of Libya's President Muammar Qaddafi and registration receipt number 00096 to the office of President John Agyekum Kuffuor, coupled with the Politician's Radio call in 2005, on Kumasi-based Fox FM "Super Morning Show", (Mr. Kwame Adinkrah's Show) - for a "Shadow Government" towards a Continental African Union Government, to be called "United African States" (UAS) speak volumes !!!.
