The Traditional Council of Twifo Hemang has opposed the nomination of Nana Kweku Abban for the position of District Chief Executive (DCE), citing alleged disrespectfulness as the primary reason.
Otumfuo Amoah Sasraki IV, the Omanhene of the Twifo Hemang Traditional Council, voiced disappointment in Nana Kweku Abban’s conduct, highlighting his failure to appear before the Traditional Council despite repeated summons over the past two years.
The rejection, according to Otumfuo Amoah Sasraki IV, is not a challenge to the president’s decision but rather a reflection of the nominee’s inappropriate behavior and lack of respect for traditional authorities.
“We need someone who will respect traditional authorities, who will not insult us, who will not abuse and disrespect. We want somebody to work with, not someone who will sit above us.
“This is not to challenge our president; we are in no way challenging the president of the state. We want to inform him about the conduct of this individual, whom he might not be aware of. This man is very disrespectful. We have invited him for two years now, and he has not shown up. He decided not to come, so today we are expressing our dissatisfaction with the entire traditional leadership, and this is to show how serious and sad we are,” Otumfuo Amoah Sasraki IV said in an interview with UTV.
