Emmanuel Kotin, the Head of Programs at the African Centre For Security and Counter Terrorism has expressed disgust at the unruly manner in which President Mahama was hooted at, in Mahyia, yesterday.
To him, it is a disrespect to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II for anyone to attempt denting the one week observation of the passing of his mother, who happens to be the Asantehemaa.
Even though its less than a month to the general elections, Mr. Kotin is of the view that partisan politicking should have no place at the funeral grounds of the Asantehemaa, and leaders of political parties must therefore take appropriate action to prevent a recurrence.
" . . it is absolutely unruly for anyone to hoot at the President at such a function. We are in a political season, yes, but it does not mean there is break down in power. The authority and prestige of the Asante people must not be allowed to be brought this low by a few political elements who would want to take advantage of every occasion to misbehave."
"No one is above the law and what took place in Manhyia yesterday was an eyesore which political leaders must make sure doesn't happen again. We must know when to do politics and when to respect authority," he said on UTV's 'Adekye Nsroma'.

Go to hell and hate Ashanti's.We will always be No.1
Why worry about these village Ashanti ***barred word*** who worship their king as GOD? As for their ***barred word*** behavior is known that is why they are locked up deep in the forest. Even how they speak portrait them as Uncivilsed
The most villagers of Akan ethnic group in Ghana are Asantes, the most tribalist foohhhhhhhls in Ghana are Asantes. Fante people will not do this foohhhhlish thing. Your queen mother is dead and the sitting president has shown respect to her and you Asante foohhhhhls look at what you foohhhhhhls are doing as they do not have fathers, and mothers or elders in so call the Asante Kingdom who can advise Asante foohhhhhls. No wonder the CIA agent J.B.Danquah and Akyem Mafia Busia come from these foohhhhhhlish Akan ethnic group. These foohhhhhls do not think about their dead queen mother. They think they are the only people going to vote in these election foohhhhhhls.
THEY WERE JUST EXPRESSING THEIR LOVE FOR THE ASANTEHEMAA BY CHANTING FOR CHANGE IN HER HONOR.
im not surprised ***barred word*** people who only come to acrra to dirty it
Just read piece, however i didn't get what u meant by "nobody is above the law". When did hooting become unlawful? I am only pleading for some education before i end up in nsawam because i like hooting those who are hypocrites, greedy and above all insincere
Nobody went to the Manshyia palace with the aim of hooting at the president. It all started when Appiah stadium made the JM toaso gesture when Nana Addo was coming. The NDC knows what they were after that is why they bus people in an MMT bus to the palace. These people were wearing black and red T shirt which prented with inscription of the name of Nana Afia Kobi. NPP did not and I repeat NPP did not bus any group of people to the palace. Appiah stadium should have known that he is in the oppositions strong hold. He shouldn't have started it.
What you sow is what you reap. The Ashanti NPP die hards have sown insults and they are reaping them. You should listen to most of the NPP FM stations and hear panelists after panelists calling Mahama ***barred word***. No one stops them so their listeners are repeating same because that is what they have heard.They have sown insults on the president and are reaping same. You browse through peacefmonline comments and check who is insulted most. Anybody who seams to hold brief for NDC and the president is a f00l, ***barred word***, or an id1ot. I hope they would be able to stomach such insults on their own.
The President brought this ***barred word*** to himself. As the leader of the nation it is upon him to know how to speak. He discribed Ashantis as ungreateful people and will not appreciate even if gold is used to contruct their roads. i am not Ashati but such message from a President of a nation would cause him havoc anytime he stepped foot in the Ashanti region. Mr securiy man who cause am ?
He called ashanti's ungrateful and danced on top of it. What does he expect
