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.

GABBY HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ARROGANT MAN WHO SPEAKS NOTHING MEANINGFUL.... HE TRIES TO LOOK SMART BUH ENDS UP MISSING THE WHOLE THING... I'D ADVISE TO KEEP MUTE ON POLITICAL MATTERS FOR SOMETIME AND KEEP ON AMASSING WHATEVER WEALTH HE'S MAKING FROM HIS BOSS THE PRESIDENT....... HIS TIME WILL SURELY COME.... EVERY GHANAIAN SHOULD THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND REALIZE THE ONLY PARTY THAT HAS THE COUNTRY AT HEART BETWEEN NPP/NDC IS NDC BUT HONESTLY THEY'VE ALSO GONE ASTRAY.... COMPARE THE PRINCIPLES OF BOTH PARTY AND YOU WILL KNOW WHICH IS BEST... GHANA STAND UP
@NEVER KOWTOW BEFORE A MERE MORTAL. A BIG THANK YOU MY FRIEND.A WISE AND A DISCERNING MIND.
You are very ***barred word*** and childish, poor reasoning. where were you when Ofori Penin supervised the shooting on Otumfour's umbrella at Amanorkrom when Nana Wereko Apem died? or where were you when Asante Bediatuo and Akuffo Addo supervised another attack on Otumfour's representative at Akyem Tafo during late JB Dankwa's funeral? IF YOU PEOPLE THINK YOU FEEL BIG TO LIVE PEACE WITH ASHANTIS GO AHEAD. POLITICS CANNOT BUILD ASHANTI KINGDOM BECOS ASHANTI KINGDOM WAS BUILT YEARS BEFORE ASHANTI MAN GETS TO KNOW POLITICS. If not politics who will know descendants of Akuffo, Dankwa, Addo, Ofori-Atta people. "ONE CAN CHANGE POLITICAL PARTY BUT NOT TRIBE" Be wise!
LOOK AT THESE IDIOTIC FULLS KNEELING AND BOWING TO THIS MERE MORTAL CALLED ASHANTEHENE!!!; WHAT WOULD DO IF YOU MET THE GOD ;ALLAH OR THE CREATOR !!!!; why should any body in his right mind KOWTOW to this misguided so called KING ; in the first place this Kweku Dua aka Ashantehene is not a 'KING' his ancestors may have being called Kings but NO MORE !!!!!the man is an NDC politician -PERIOD ;besides as a mere human being you do not bow or kneel before a mere mortal like Kweku Dua or Ashantehene _ BIG MISTAKE !!!; IT IS ONLY THE CREATOR;Allah or GOD THAT YOU KNEEL BEFORE AND PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS NOT THIS KROOKED POLITICAL CHIEF who stills his people gold and goes to seel it and claims it was stolen ; the Ashantehene is simply playing politics and attempting to pitch the Akyems against his own people because he realises the folly of associating himself with the Jon Mahama and the NDC ; the TRUTH IS THAT IF YOU LIE WITH PIGS YOU GET FAECES IN YOUR FACE ;the Ashante does not get the attention of Nana Addo as he use to get with Jon Mahama and his brother who allow to Ashantehene to use their private jets to London to sell; gold bars besides the Akyems and the Ashantis although are all Akans have different cultures ; the Ashantehene is not the ruler of the Akans ; the Ashantis are just part of the Akan clan ; Nana Addo is not a full to associate himself with this Ashantehene who has no progressive plans for Ashanti people ; look at Kumasi today ; why did not this EVIL Ashanthene convince Jon Mahama to develop Kumasi ; how can thif thiff call Ashanthene wait for the first lady to come all the way from Accra to come and help build a childrens hospita for Ashantis ; and you call this thiff the Ashanthene with iditic Ashantis bowing before him ; WHAT HAS THE SO CALLED KING DONE FOR ASHANTIS SOME BODY TELL ME !!!!!
@ATO NANA OFORI PANIN NEVER OVERLORD OF AKYEM PEOPLE HE'S ONLY A PARAMOUNT CHIEF AND LEADER OF AKYEM ABUAKWA NOT ALL AKYEM LIKE OTUMFOUR THE KING OF ASHANTIS
@Yaw thank you very much you and I will never go on our knees before a mortal being. Those who prefer to be in their own world of ignoranceeee and blindness let them be.
Please do not prolong this diabolic matter which is for me if you like, deliberate and unprovoked. It could only serve its ill purpose the more you speak to it. Otchere has timely come out and has maturely spoken to it and as we say a word to the wise is enough. Clearly, Otumfour as witty as he is will treat to keep our great family together. NDC is desperate and fully out there to do everything to weaken NPP.
You are superbly ***barred word***. Who told you you only sin against God and not man. The Jesus that you are blindly quoting said if you did it for man you have done it for me. Joseph said how can I sin against God and my master. David said if killed Saul he would have sin against Saul and God. Sin is not sin except it is committed against man and God. Going on your knees to beg someone doesn't in any way go against God. Worshipping a person is what God hates. You worship person when you inordinately believe a person to the point where you can't do anything without the person. It's normal to be on your knees to beg your parents when you offend them. It's had been a practice in the bible that subjects of kings gives obeisance to him. It's amazing how some individuals think the understand God more than himself.
Every time we tell you people that the Akyems are plotting for the down fall of Ashantihene, they say its not true. Oyewaaa, Ashantehene is the one saying it; its no longer NDC but Ashantehene. Akyem marfias are on the move, Gabby doesn't respect Ashantene. Wise Ashantis.
Hmmmm oyiwa dat is what it is de king should protect his people because de aims are also thing dat their own is in power ashantis wise up ok
