Asantehene on K.K. Sarpong and Offinso stool affairs (VIDEO)
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has expressed displeasure about how the king makers are going about affairs in selecting a successor for the vacant Offinso stool in Asanteman.
Addressing the king makers at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi on Thursday (October 20, 2022), the Asantehene said the process used in the attempt to nominate a successor was not properly done.
Therefore, he asked the king makers to go back and start the process again.
He questioned why the king makers were circumventing the process, and cannot go straight to the point to indicate that their preference was K.K. Sarpong, probably because of his pedigree in society.
Rather, they were resorting to “lies”.
Speaking proverbially, the Asantehene said the king makers sat down and concluded their preference was K.K. Sarpong.
He indicated they could have been straight forward and said he [K.K. Sarpong] was their preference because of his pedigree instead of trying to link the circumstances to royalty.
This move, the Asantehene said was not working, yet the king makers were attempting to push it forward.
Attached below is a video by Opemsuo, showing the Asantehene addressing the issue.
