The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, widely referred to as Chairman Wontumi, has urged the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, to prioritize unity and stability in Ghana amidst allegations of former President John Mahama's interference in chieftaincy affairs. His comments come on the back of the historic power play between the two monarchs which has culminated in public utterances seemingly pitting the Kingdom and the Chieftain against each other, on the scale of supremacy and authority. Speaking in an interview with Kojo Marfo on AbusuaNkommo the chairman contended that Dormaahene could never compare himself with the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and admonished him to stay in his 'lane'. He insisted, "Dormaahene will be Dormaahene, and Asantehene will be Asantehene. I am a member of the Aduana clan; my brother is the Sum Nya chief.
