Fiaprehene of the Bono Traditional Council, Obrempong Professor Kyem Amponsah II, has responded to Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II's challenge to Asantehene regarding the latter's intention to elevate his Traditional Council to paramountcy.
According to Obrempong Professor Kyem Amponsah II, they owe no allegiance to anyone, and their elevation to paramountcy by the Asantehene cannot be blocked.
He revealed that the Traditional Council had submitted a request for paramountcy to the House of Chiefs within their jurisdiction, but their request was ignored.
As a result, they turned to Otumfuo for the elevation.
