Be very careful, I won’t give you a chance – Otumfuo warns Offinso Hemaa, elders
None of the elders have the right to sell land when there is no Offinsohene, specifically when it is the Offinsohene who must sign off the sale. "Offinso Hemaa you are aware of this, be very careful… I would never allow you to cause the downfall of Offinso,” Otumfuo stated through his linguists in an audiotape of his Asantemen court sitting shared by Royal Palace Multimedia. A former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana National Petroleum Company (GNPC), Dr K. K. Sarpong, a candidate selected by the Queen Mother of Offinso with the support of some elders has been rejected by Otumfuo. According to Otumfuo, it is rather wrong for the queen mother to present K. K. Sarpong as a candidate by virtue of royal bloodline while history and tradition tell otherwise. Otumfuo has thus warned Nana Ama Serwaa Nyarko and the elders of Offinso to put forth their candidate through the appropriate channel or risk having him rejected permanently.

“The NPP tradition, as far as I know, does not believe that political power should be entrusted into the hands of one individual or a group of individuals and their family, friends, and concubines. Apparently, they have what it takes to get their friends and favourites appointed to prominent and powerful positions in society. “We are being served with a variation of ‘family, friends, and concubines government,’ and control of the press not through violence but through bribery and intimidation.
