Otumfour Osei Tutu II has slammed Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II for remarks concerning a historical misrepresentation.
The Asantehene emphasized strongly during the inaugural Council Meeting in the Ashanti regional capital, Kumasi, that the Asante Kingdom has not compelled any of its people to serve the Golden Stool, but that it is a rare pleasure and honor for anybody to be regarded as a subject to the Golden Stool.
He remarked that if others are prepared to surrender in order to acquire the necessary development and success in their various fields, he would do the same.“I don’t think you have any impact, those who want to be lifted to a dignified status would be accorded that and helped.”
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II noted, “If you cannot fight for Asanteman, please vacate the seat for those who can. If you cannot sacrifice like our forefathers, then you don’t deserve the seat……
“The reason why the government created the new regions especially, Ahafo and Bono East is to expand development, it doesn’t mean if you are under the Asante Kingdom you have become autonomous, you still serve the Golden Stool (Sikadwa)”, he said.
