Lawyer and historian Nana Obiri Boahen has called out Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs and Paramount Chief of the Dormaa Traditional Area, over his recent comments about the Golden Stool of the Ashanti people, known as Sika Dwa Kofi.
According to Obiri Boahen, commentary surrounding the Golden Stool must be approached with caution since it forms a significant part of Ashanti history.
Although he did not directly address whether the stool is welded, as the Dormaahene has claimed, Obiri Boahen emphasised that its relevance should not be undermined.
Speaking in an interview on Wontumi TV on August 16, 2025, he said, "So, the Golden Stool, please, with due respect, don't underrate the potency of the Golden Stool.
