The traditional chiefs of the Wenchi Akwamu family in the Bono region have reacted to the Omanhene of the Wenchi Traditional Area, Nana Ampem Anye Amoampong Tabrako III that he has no mandate and the customary right to overturn the stool of Nana Akoratua Adutwum IV for any reason. In the press conference held at Wenchi Akwamu traditional palace, Nana Akoratua Adutwum IV says, he is the Akwauhene of Wenchi and nothing more!

According to the Omanhene of Wenchi Traditional Area, Nana Akoratuah Adutwum IV and his subjects are suspended from operating as chiefs in the Wenchi traditional area until further notice. Akwamuhehe’s case was that he was in the court as a principal witness against the Omanhene, Nana Ampem Anye Amoampong Tabrako III. The chiefs and queen mothers of Wenchi Akwamu’s palace see this as a fallacy.

Nana Akuratua Adutwum IV says that Wenchi is always dragging backward because some chiefs have failed to follow the tradition and the truth. He pointed out that, the mischief attitudes of some chiefs had denied Wenchi of its early glories, which do not auger well to entertain any longer.

Nana says all his blame is looking for the truth and enforcing the tradition. Nana was emphatic that, no one can unseat him from the Wenchi Akwamu traditional stool for no harm done.

Nana says their family stool lands remain untouched, and it will be bloody if any chief ventures without his knowledge. Nana says they are for peace, but those who are calling for war should not try the Wenchi Akwaum’s royal family.

The Dompemhene of Wenchi traditional area, Nana Owusu Yeboah Afari says the suspension notice issued by the Omanhene of Wenchi to Nana Akuratua Adutwum IV is unconstitutional and cannot stand.

The palace and the people were clad in red and black, signifying their mood of anger!
