The Secretary of Akyem Abuakwa State D.D Ofori Atta has stated that Pobi Asomanin may be suffering from mental illness which is why he is still claiming to be a legitimate Chief of Asamankese. Osabarimah Ateabisa Kentinka Pobi Asomaning IV, and has also refuted claims that he has been destooled by Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin.
Speaking to Ohene Kinnah on Plan B FM’s late afternoon show EBAANOSEN, D.D Ofori Atta explained that, Okyenhene, Osaagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin has warned the Chief of Aworasa, Barima Pobi Asomaning, to stay away from the Asamankese stool.
The Aworasa chief is claiming that he is the new chief of Asamankese, with the stool name “Osaberima Ateabisa Kentinka Pobi Asomaning I”.
According to the overlord of the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council, the Okyenhene, in a statement reacting to the event said,
“Osabarima Adu Darko III remains the legitimate Chief of Asamankese; thus the purported installation of Barima Pobi Asomaning I, is unlawful, irregular, uncustomary, and an aberration of Akyem Abuakwa customs and therefore null, void, and of no effect.”
The Akyem Abuakwa State secretary further stated that the said impasse over who qualified to be the chief of Asamankese had already been resolved in favor of Osabarima Adu Darko III and Barima Pobi Asomaning II fined hence his actions were an affront to “the dignity of Okyeman, and a desecration and violation of its cherished customs and traditions.”
“The Council wishes to indicate that the said Pobi Asomaning is not the chief of Asamankese. For the records, the chief of Asamankese is Osabarima Adu Darko IIl; who has been properly nominated, appointed, enstooled”. He stated
“Subsequently, he has sworn the Oath of Allegiance to His Majesty the Okyenhene and gazetted. The public is informed that anyone who deals with Pobi Asomaning on matters of Asamankese stool land does so at their own risk”.
“All legitimate concerns about these matters must be directed to the Secretariat of the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council. The general public and interested parties are duly cautioned” the Okyenhene stated.
