It was a tense moment at Manhyia Palace on Wednesday as NPP executives went on their knees to apologise to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
The plea for forgiveness follows an outburst by the Asantehene that there are active attempts by some people close to government pitch him against the Akyems.
Acting General Secretary, John Boadu and Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, party Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, and Regional Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organization, Kwabena Senkyire trooped to the Manyhia Palace to prevent the wrath of the revered Ashanti King on the governing party.
Mr Boadu was also at the Palace to secure Otumfuo’s blessing in his bid to secure confirmation as General-Secretary of NPP ahead of the party's national executive elections.
The entourage fell on their knees to assuage the King’s anger, praying for clemency at the open court of the Manhyia Palace.
Otumfuo’s linguist, Baffour Kantankrakyi at this point stepped in to intercede on behalf of the New Patriotic Party bigwigs who were still on their knees before the King.
‘’Your own grand children. Regional Minister, the Mayor and John Boadu. They say this is a surprise to them.
"As a caring parent, you don’t harbour ill-feeling. They are pleading for pardon. Please, forgive them,’’ Otumfuo’s linguist pleaded on their behalf.

NPP DON'T BE CARRIED AWAY. ASHANTEHENE IS JUST A MORTAL BEING.HE IS NOT EVEN A KING. THE ONLY KING IS JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR.NO ONE SHOULD GO ON HIS KNEES FOR A MORTAL BEING EXCEPT GOD THE ALMIGHTY.BEWARE YOU DON'T SIN AGAINST THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE.
Oh Efo Kofi, see o! Don't you think you need to be corrected too? "Please you are too ADVANCE than these petty flaws!" Is the "advance" here an adjective, verb or noun? Don't worry; we all fall on our own daggers, sometimes. Who knows? Mine too is being scrutinized. Hahaha!
This is their best brand division to rule and the great king knows their tricks, 2020 -1.5 years. They would see their smoothness level ,
Where are the pictures kneeling down. SHAME
Peacefmonline should do better in proofreading. What is 'go on their kneels'? Please you are too advance than these petty flaws!
i dont believe ASANTEHENE,no one is pitching him against the AKYEMHENE.he just want to create disaffection for the NPP in the ASANTE REGION.Knowing very well that,it is the strong hold of the NPP.All that he craves for is for NANA ADO to be visiting him like MAHAMA used to do.But he should know better,that his beloved MAHAMA messed up the financies of the country and it is hard work and concentration and not parting and dancing.less than a month ago,The ASANTEHENE said before the NPP leaves power,they should build the INLAND PORT for the ASANTES as they havent done anything for them.I personally think what the ASANTEHENE said was wrong and it was for a political motive.If he wants MAHAMA back,for the sake of parties and dancing,he should say it but not to create disaffection for the NPP,by saying!SOME PEOPLE ARE PITCHING YOU AGAINS THE AKYEM HENE.PLS MENTION THEIR NAMES AND LEAVE NPP OUT OF THIS ***barred word***.
My goodness!!! I WILL NEVER GO ON MY KNEES COR ANY MORTAL!!! I only go on my knees for GOD!!!
