Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Residents of Kyebi in the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Area of the Eastern Region have staged a protest asking the x-President and flagbearer of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to render an unqualified apology to the Okyenhene, Osagyefuo Amoateng Ofori Panin for the inflammatory and insulting comments made against him by a key member of the party.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Regional Secretary, at a demonstration held by the party in Kumasi, last week, said that but for the benevolence of Mr. John Mahama, Okyehene and his subjects were in constant competitions with animals for water to drink.<\/p>\n

According to him, if Mahama had not given them water, the people within the Kyebi enclave would still be drinking dirty water with cattle, goats and sheep.<\/p>\n

These comments have nettled the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional area, leading to them asking for an unequivocal apology to be rendered to the Okyehene and his people by the leadership of the NDC. This has not been complied with, leading to the protests on the streets of Kyebi.<\/p>\n

Protestors had placards with several inscriptions indicating their anger over the said comments by Kwame Zu. Some of them read;<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019We won\u2019t tolerate this NDC rubbish, Shameless NDC, Okyenhene is a unifier, NDC nad Zu, Okyeman has (have) rejected you, Kyebi you are blessed, NDC, you can\u2019t divide Ghana, Okyeman rivers supply over 5 million citizens of Accra, NDC, you won\u2019t get away this time\u2019, etc, etc\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The Traditional Council of Okyeman has made these demands and they are to be complied with within the next three days or the NDC would face another bout of their anger;<\/p>\n

A direct, clear and unambiguous public apology by the leadership of the NDC.<\/p>\n

A ritual pacification of the Okyehene by the NDC.<\/p>\n

An apology from Kwame Zu.<\/p>\n

Punitive measures against Kwame Zu.<\/p>\n

Should the NDC fail to abide by these demands within the stipulated three days, not only would the door be closed to them forever but the party would not be allowed to have any programme in the zone. The NDC will be declared persona non grata and that all palaces in Okyeman will be closed to the party if they fail to comply with these directives.<\/p>\n

Chiefs in the Traditional Area who violate these directives shall also face sanctions, according to the Traditional Council of Okyeman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
