Dormahene’s unprovoked attacks on Asantehene likely to cause a major tribal war in Ghana – Dr. Kwarteng

A lecturer at the Kumasi Technical University (KsTU), Dr. Collins Kankam Kwarteng, has urged the National Peace Council, National House of Chiefs, and top political figures to intervene and call the Dormahene, Osagyefo Ogyeman Badu, to order over his recent insults against the Asantehene and the people of Asanteman.

Dr. Kwarteng believes that the Dormahene’s consistent attacks on the Asantehene could potentially spark reprisal attacks, which may escalate into a major tribal war in Ghana.

This call comes after the Dormahene’s recent comments questioning the historical narrative of the Asantes regarding the origin of the Golden Stool, which has caused widespread outrage.

The Manhyia Palace has yet to react to the comments, but Dr. Kwarteng emphasizes that Ghana’s peace is fragile and cannot afford to be threatened by unprovoked attacks from one chief against another.

Speaking on OTEC 102.9 FM’s morning show Nyansapo, on Monday, Dr. Kwarteng stressed the need for the National House of Chiefs and the National Peace Council to step in immediately to prevent chaos in the country, as many Asantes are boiling with anger over the Dormahene’s remarks.
