Even otumfuo who took gold to Norway and the gold vanished the asantes still respect him as their king. This stupid Gas bribed by nana addo and his cronies are using then to destool a king. The media are using these stupid and traitors Gas to do the unthinkable. Is he the only king who supported a particular party?

boss. are you talking about LPG or the people from the Ga land? If you are talking about the latter then you yourself you are not correct. I think you have to learn about a the difference between a chief and a king, and also read about chieftancy. You are not correct, can you tell me which of the presidents in the 4th republic who has not used a Ga to occupy different roles? You are not to be blamed but the media who has given you such a chance to misbehave online.

What has ga's to yo to warrant these insults?)...don't tell me this is freedom of speech....if an Asante king shots himself in the foot,I won't hide behind my computer and make a blanket insult to All asantes....my brother learn to know what to type and how to type when you're posting comments on the web ......when Tweneboah Koduah Gave his word to the Ashanti kingdom that they can have his head ...they did just that and those words are what made the Ashanti kingdom what it is today....the Gbese king gave his word and that's why people are asking Nii Ayi Bonte to honour his words.as simple as that...don't hide behind a computer at an internet cafe to insult ALL GA'S .....there are many wonderful responsible,educated,law abiding ga's all over the world and you haven't met any...maybe you are making this statement based on one silly ga person you met.......I didn't insult the Dormaa people when the Dormaa Hene made similar statement....massa mind you language wai.

Ayi Bonte must go! It's as simple as that ....He swore by the stool and he got his wish granted....he has every right to support any political party...but to swear to abdicate if Mahama NDC lose is your own words..no one had a gun to his head....rituals (kusum) must be performed for ..Ayi Bonte's abdication and a new chief installed.If he doesn't go all legal means must be sought..and if he's still there he must be forcibly be removed ..Looking at him ,he's way too unhealthy..too fat and obese and a bad example for the youth.....look at Tommy Okine,when all the Gbese youth are hungry,skinny and scrawny because of poverty...Ayi Bonte is as fat as a whale

I believe those supporting this chief had their share of monies that was given to this stupid chief to behave like a politician and not like a chief.After all no one asked him desert the sit but he opened his large mouth and said it. The stolen monies that was given to him by NDC government made him so happy to act like a politician. So he must honor his word.It is people with little brains who are supporting him.It is a shame to those greedy chiefs who supported Mahama openly insulting Akuffo Addo.

This is why it is stated clearly in the constitution that Chiefs should never get involve in politics ; had this GA uneducated full Nii Aye Bonte read the constitution ; he would have learnt that although most Chiefs think they are above the law ; all chifs are subject to the constitution in Ghana ; if he is legitimate he should be sunctioned by the elders and warned not to get involve in olitics again and that 2 strikes and he is out but if he is illigitimate should be kicked out -PRONTO !!!!!!

Here we go again with the chieftaincy institution in a section of the Ga land girding up their loins to pursue their forte; a useless litigation that has no positive bearings of the indigenes of the land. It appears the various sections are recalibrating their arsenals ready for the kill. All the warring factions are behaving like barracudas that have smelt blood in the water
The unfolding drama reminds me of a very popular catchphrase in the Ga language; SAA YOO, ONUKPA BE BJEN LO?
I keep asking myself, isn’t there any individual, individuals or groups within the breadth of the Ga-Adangbe region that could intercede before this seemingly innocuous utterance made by a hyperbolic fatso turns into an all-out war that benefits no one but lawyers? Come on now! We can do better than this

Its unfortunate,but if the king undeniably made those comments then he has brought the current situation upon himself.however ,the statements could have been made on the spur of the moment or in the heat of battle,and consequently should have been taken with a pinch of salt.I think he should be allowed a bit of wiggle room on this,unless he is unpopular and a bad leader ,and they want to take this opportunity to get rid of him,but if not then just let him be,after all we all make mistakes in life and learn from them. I'm sure he would have learnt a lesson from this." Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." Sometimes Africans can be excessively rigid and uncompromising on certain issues.

Stop all these foolish abdication articles. There is an obvious disgruntled faction within Gbese that coveted the stool which lawfully went to the current Mantse. These are the only ones making an issue of this old incident. Election is over; his political rant was ill-advised. Shame on him, now move on. Who the hell is the NDC, NPP. CPP. Etc... political parties of today to have such an influence on our time honored chieftancy institutions. Nonsense. Stop.

Nii-Odartey, given the disgruntlement and the ill-feeling about Gbese mantse's enstoolment, he should have tread carefully. He has provided fuel to his opponents to find one more reason to destool him. He should come out to render an apology or should have gotten some help to do DAMAGE CONTROL immediately after the election. I hope someone can help him craft the right words to debunk the whole brouhaha. His opponents are dead serious about getting him out on his own words.

If this chief respected the stool, and the community he serves, he wouldn't have made those statements. These people deserve some respect and dignity; so he should therefore do himself a favor by stepping down as he stated.

Chieftancy/King is a God made Institution since Bible times.I implore some commentators to read the Bible to educate themselves on the subject . The Court is not a Kingmaker in this case and therefore cannot enstool or destool a Chief in a purely traditional matter.Therefore,only the Custodian of the Costom,The National House of Chiefs has Jurisdiction to decide on this case. And not a mainstream Court of "I put it to you"!. Know that, a Chief does not swallow back his words and there's nothing like apology to his subjects in this case. Sincererity, honesty,integrity, well thought through rants,etc,is the pivot of a Chief to earn respect and the authority to command /move the entire Community to do as the Chief said. That is the essence of a CHIEF. Therefore,a Chief does not utter irresponsible words,etc.
