The Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council has cautioned the Ankobeahene of the Begoro Stool, Bafour Owiredu Agyarko Minta II, for endorsing former president John Mahama.
Bafour Owiredu Agyarko Minta II appeared before the council on Monday (19 February), over his alleged endorsement of the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, during his tour of the Eastern Region.
A petition was later filed against him.
The petitioners sought an order of destoolment, a declaration nullifying the respondent’s conduct, a public recantation of some alleged comments and the rendering of an unqualified apology to the people of Begoro.
The traditional council halted the matter after privately engaging the petitioners and the chief. Isaac Mintah Larbi, the lawyer for Bafour Owiredu Agyarko Minta II, indicated they were told the matter would not be recalled in the future.
“We all know what transpired. We came before Nananom for the matter to be heard. The chiefs, upon consultation, decided to step in and bring the matter to an end. They called the parties into chambers and gave them advice. The bottom line is that the case has come to an end, it has been settled; it won’t be called again,” Mintah Larbi said.
It will be recalled that the Ankobeahene was dragged before the traditional council for endorsing the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, when he toured Begoro.
