The Fiapre Traditional Council has explained their decision to reunite with the Asanteman and seek the elevation of their chief to paramountcy, despite being located in the Bono Region. Four different royal families within the Fiapre Bofrese Aduana family have come together to support this move. According to the traditional authorities, the decision to join the Asanteman dates back to the tenure of their late chief, Nana Poku. The traditional authorities explained that they had long sought to elevate their chieftaincy through the Bono House of Chiefs but were unsuccessful, prompting them to seek the intervention of in the Asante Region. "In 2014, Nana Poku wrote a letter to the Bono House of Chiefs, and they responded that Fiapre is not under any divisional chief in the Bono Region or any paramount chief. We asked them to elevate our status for national recognition, but the Bono House of Chiefs never responded. "So, our chief and the queen mother called all the family members before we headed to Manhyia for the meeting," explained Nana Damte Akom Adomako, a member of the royal family.
