News Hub Creator11h
A Ghanaian presenter, Sally Mann, has incurred the wrath of social media users after she made some remarks about the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. The presenter with the Multimedia Group during a recent episode of Showtym With Sally Mann compared the Asantehene to Dormaahene.
She claimed the Dormaahene and Asantehene were equals and Otumfuo’s reign was not greater than other stools as has been indicated. She further described the Asantehene as a paramount chief and not a King or the Asante Monarch as he’s usually referred.
”I agree that the Dormaahene is a big paramount chief. I also stand on behalf of my panellists on this show and the platform we are speaking on (Adom TV) to say that the Asantehene is a paramount chief. As far as we are all concerned, they are on the same level,” she said.” Sally Mann’s comments did not sit well with many Ghanaians. Some feel the comments were unnecessary since it was an unprovoked attack on the Asantehene. They argued that the topic in the discussion had nothing to do with Otumfuo, therefore, drawing him into the conversation was unnecessary. A lady from Dormaa in a video educated Sally Mann on the difference between Otumfuo and the Dormaahene, stressing that both are not the same. She explained that the Dormaahene rules over kingdoms in Dormaahene and his reign does not extend beyond Dormaa.
”He doesn’t rule over the whole the whole Bono Region,” she said. Otumfuo on the other hand rules over the whole Ashanti Region and has all kingdoms under his stool. Otumfuo has powers to enstool and destool a paramount chief but the Dormaahene does not have those powers,” she added.
