The Kasapa FM and Agoo TV personality also called out the King for ‘staying quiet’ while his people verbally attacked the Dormaa. Her criticism triggered an angry response from the Asantes and other Ghanaians, who deemed it a show of disrespect to Otumfuo. Afia Pokua later released a statement apologising for her conduct but was still summoned to face a panel at Manhyia Palace.
Otumfuo’s rep rejects Afia Pokua’s apology After hours of pleading, including kneeling in prostration, Otumfuo’s representative rejected Mona Gucci and Afia Pokua’s apology. Despite the intervention of an elder who noted that Pokua had been particularly heartfelt, a ‘sorry’ was not deemed as enough. Otumfuo’s representative suggested that some offences required the individual to bear the full consequences of their actions.
“Who do you think you are to disrespect the Otumfuo? If you think you’ve grown wings, don’t aim them at Kumasi. You claim to be from Kwahu, yet even they separated from the Ashanti Kingdom. They speak our language. “Take your cursed self and your troubles with you. Whatever comes your way in the future, deal with it on your own. Do not ever return here,” the representative said vehemently.
