    You are wasting your time and your life......

    1. Did all the kingmakers gather at Otumfuor's palace or not? If they did, they accepted his power and jurisdiction and can therefore not turn around and deny his power after y ...

    So the selection of the next Asantehene must be an election contested by all the Amanhene of Kumawu, Offinso, Mampong, Bekwai etc.

  • Eye Yen Dagartefor 9 years ago

    I'm totally in agreement with you. This would help eliminate these fools and thieves from getting the undue opportunity to steal from the people as this useless Kwaku Dua has done to the Asanteman.

  • DR. SAS, ATTORNEY AT LAW 9 years ago

    You must move away from further discussing the due process insofar as your side sought redress in a court of law and still lost. If your side lost despite a so-called defective process and bribery allegation, you are not enti ...

  • /// 9 years ago

    Really, you are stupid. Even the oyoko clan is angry at asantehene. But, we do not say it in public. You do not have respect for Asanteman via you are not a true asante. Stop the nonsense and concentrate on your life.

  • Y'abr3 9 years ago

    Listen to yourself, "But we do not say it in public". WE are just cowards to allow one so-called Otumfuo to ruin Asanteman and keep quiet. Wish I hard a newspaper to publish everything Adofo writes about Asantehene and our ...
