Challenging Otumfuo: Deposed queen mother’s letter appointing KK Sarpong as Offinsomanhene pops up
Nana Ama Serwah Nyarko was, until January 2024, the queen mother of Offinso. She was formally destooled by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II over insubordination.
The issue at hand is her dogged stance in nominating former GNPC boss Kofi Koduah Sarpong as the new Offinsomanhene, the paramount chief of Offinso.
Otumfuo rejected KK Sarpong’s nomination three times, saying he was not a royal and that more worthy candidates were available to be nominated.
The queen mother has been silent since the destoolment until a letter dated March 13, 2024, purportedly under her letterhead, was posted on social media.
The letter addressed to the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Offinso Municipal Assembly was regarding the nomination of KK Sarpong as the new Offinsomanhene.
This is despite Otumfuo and his elders having caused the nomination and swearing into office of a substantive paramount chief for the area.
GhanaWeb is working with our sources to verify the letter, which has reportedly elicited a reaction from the MCE.
Pro-KK Sarpong indigenes protested last week, and he was captured in a video receiving homage from some subjects. Manhyia has yet to comment on the developments.
