The Sunyani Traditional Council has expressed some reservations about the nomination of Mr Kwaku Asoma-Cheremeh as the Brong Ahafo Regional Minister-designate.
According to the chiefs, they would not give him the needed support should he be given parliamentary approval.
At a press conference at the Palace of the Sunyani Omanhene on Thursday, the chiefs accused Mr Asoma-Cheremeh of inciting people against their authority.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in announcing Mr Asoma-Cheremeh as Brong Ahafo Regional Minister designate on Tuesday touted his hard work which made it possible for the NPP to win 20 seats in the region.
But the Krontihene of the area, Nana Bofotia Boa Amponsem II said the conduct of Mr Asoma-Cheremeh towards the authority of the traditional council was unacceptable and for that matter they could not collaborate with him as a regional minister.
“While we cannot stop him from becoming a regional minister, what we are saying is that we cannot be part of his administration,” he said.
Nana Amponsem, however stated that the doors of the council was opened for amicable settlement of an impasse that had existed between the council and Mr Asoma-Cheremeh, who is the current regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

I was mad at the UTV morning host who interviewed the chiefs pro and the NPP youth organizer because she was asking the unnecessary questions
IGNORED big time. What happened to your so-called 80% hahahahahahahaha. You see your size now? When u are given some small cash, you think u have the world. ***barred word*** people
What the chiesfs should Know and understand is that is is not appointed a minister for Sunyani but the entire region and the can cannot dictate to the the rest of the towns in the region.
Please Nananom, I question your moral justification for raising the flag. You openly disclosed your support for a presidential candidate which act is against the laws of land and your outfit did not see anything wrong with it. Hmmmmmm. God saves us.
Who do these sub humans think they are? We the good people of Brong Ahafo are behind the regional minister designate one hundred percent (100%). If these backwards people who call themselves chiefs do not like they are at liberty to move away from the region until Nana Addo finishes his term of office in 2024 and Dr. Bawumiah also finishes his in 2032. The fact that the regional designate did do kowtow to your whims does not mean that Nana should change him. He will be confirmed and will be in office as Brong Ahafo regional minister. If you do not like it vacate the region you imbeciles.
They should go and complain to Mahama because they voted 80% for Mahama
I this is a nice opportunity for H.E. Nana Addo to bring them to their senses by visiting them with the regional minister nominee and apologies for any wrong doing on the part of the nominee without mentioning the chief's damnable one. This will certainly make them (chiefs) appreciate their guilty consciousness then more.
I thought these chiefs were wise people. What about if the president changes the nominee and the chiefs of Dormaa, Nkoranza, Techiman or Tuobodom etc also express reservations. ***barred word*** people who call themselves chiefs. Everybody knows that the Sunyani chief is a dyed in the wool NDC.
And he calls himself a paramount chief? Kwaku Baako said 'some chiefs are NOT WISE! This is one of them. He can't run against the people's will. Chief in politics will be treated as politician! PERIOD!
WHY BRONG AHAFO CHIEFS ARE INVOLVING THEMSELF TOO MUCH INTO POLITICS WHY ? .. POLITICS ARE NOT YOUR ROLLS TO PLAY NANA NOM OF BA.. PLEASE
