National Security Minister Albert Kan Dapaah Thursday evening visited the Manhyia palace over the seeming tension between the Otumfuo and the New Patriotic Party, Starr News has learnt.
It comes after some senior executives of the ruling party were seen, in a photo gone viral, kneeling before the Ashanti Monarch.
The king is reportedly angry over attempts by some individuals in government to pitch him against Akyems.
Meanwhile, a group calling itself the Concerned Youth of Ashanti has strongly accused a leading member of the New Patriotic Party, (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere Darko and the Executive Secretary to the President Asante Bediatuo of speaking ill and undermining the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
Dr. Nana Agyenim Boateng, President of the Concerned Youth of Ashanti said all the negative things being said about the Asantehene by the two individuals have contributed to the Monarch’s anger.
In an interview with Starr News, Agyenim Boateng said “a couple of years ago under the leadership of Akufo-Addo, his nephew and relatives started making some comments concerning the Asantehene and the Asantehene himself mentioned Gabby Asare Otchere Darko and Asante Bediatuo at the Manhyia Palace.
“Everything they are saying about the Asantehene, he is in Manhyia Palace but he has heard of it…so it is a warning and an advice to them.”
According to Agyenim Boateng, the two top NPP members claim that the Asantehene is involved in money laundering and tacitly supports the NDC.

Otumfuo, opanin due mante, mante!1
Even if Jesus gets angry, do people go on their knees to beg? We're now making gods out of these chiefs oo. As3m b3ba debi!
togbe, if you have nothing sensible to say not say it here
who has said he is the KING of the Ewes? @ Tobge! who said he is superior than any chief or King of other tribe..... bake it or cook it, the Ashantis have a tradition and they are just proud of that.they go every length to protect their customs, culture and tradition>>>> that is what make you jealous! simple.. your problem has always been the so called democracy from elsewhere which make your chief or king“Tobge" least recognized. be proud of who you are and promote yours! Efo good day
How can you live in your palace and hear things that go on in the supposed JUBILEE HOUSE? Are you Angel Obinim? i think this outburst is unnecessary. Either it was meant to court the sympathy of the Ashanti people or draw an undeserved attention to himself. Asantehene is the chief of Ashantis or KING of Ashantis. He is not the Chief of Ghanaians or KING of Ghana. Every tribe in Ghana has their chiefs OR Kings, and they are happy and comfortable with it. why is one tribe trying to be superior over other tribes? it won't work
