Mr Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, nephew to President Nana Akufo-Addo, has said he is not stupid enough to undermine Asante monarch Otumfuo Osei Tutu II as being alleged by the revered traditional leader.
At the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi recently, the furious Asante monarch is said to have specifically named Mr Otchere-Darko and the president’s Executive Secretary Nana Asante Bediatuo, as plotting to undermine him.
A group called Concerned Youth of Ashanti led by Dr. Nana Agyenim Boateng, has come out to confirm the allegations.
“A couple of years ago under the leadership of Akufo-Addo, his nephew and relatives started making some comments concerning the Asantehene and the Asantehene himself mentioned Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko and Asante Bediatuo at the Manhyia Palace. Everything they are saying about the Asantehene, he is in Manhyia Palace but he has heard of it”, Dr Agyenim Boateng told Accra-based Starr FM in an interview on Thursday, 3 May.
Ashanti Regional Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party, Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi) and other leading figures of the NPP, including Acting General Secretary John Boadu; Ashanti Regional Minister Simon Osei-Mensah, as well as the Regional Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation, Kwabena Senkyire, went to the Manyhia Palace on Wednesday, 2 May 2018 for a different purpose but got confronted by the enraged monarch who revealed to them that certain people close to the seat of government were making disparaging comments about him and also pitching him against the people of Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Area – native town of President Nana Akufo-Addo, Mr Otchere-Darko and Nana Asante Bediatuo.
This prompted an instant groveling apology by the four leading figures of the NPP, who fell on their knees before the traditional leader.
Responding to the allegation against him, Mr Otchere-Darko wrote on his Facebook page: “Am I so stupid that I would work against my own interest and turn one-half of me against the other half by inciting my mother’s people against my father’s people; that I would bite the very hand that feeds us politically? Perplexing”.

Gabby has done nothing wrong,that ashanti chief is so bitter since Nana became President, What did Gabby say?the chief reacted based on rumours,what if the informant told the chief is not true Asannti hene is a politician
Do u need a prophet to tell u? I even think u r special in addition to ur stupiditi
Gabby is very s.tupid Can u reply to your father like that. Don't cause our anger on u.
Asantehene should be furious with the bad state roads in the region and stop following trivial issues like this. Gyataba should also ***barred word***. He is not more Asante than some of us. Don't you people know the Ashanti spirit is gone? And it's all due to bad leadership which Asantehene cannot be left out. The you has to rise up and talk.
Jubilee House facebookers at work
Don't u know you are? Any intelligent person won't respond but so aback channelling. U just exposed ur immaturity
Such hear-says or some others were in the days of the previous Gov't, the NDC which for sure got to the hearing of the King, but he never expressed his anger in public domain. Why now? Ideally I would have expected that the King could have brought this potentially delicate issue to the attention of the leader of the Governing Party, His Excellency, for handling and solution behind closed door for the avoidance of public infractions. It appears now that an ammunition has been created for the opposition parties as some have already wading into it to make political capital to their advantage. Make no mistake; I am not into politics. I am a neutral observer, coming from the Volta Region.
Otomfu) must have been so ***barred word*** to put this out...? Anyway we live to see...
