Akyem Abenase Sub-Chiefs Rally Behind Nana Boame Ankra II, Dismiss Allegations As “Cheap Propaganda”

The sub-chiefs of Akyem Abenase in the Akyemansa District of the Eastern region have come out strongly in defense of their chief, Okumkom Nana Boame Ankra II, dismissing allegations made by some residents as “cheap propaganda.”

 

Background

A section of residents in Akyem Abenase had expressed dissatisfaction with Nana Boame Ankra II’s leadership, claiming he had failed to contribute to the community’s development over the past seven years.

The residents alleged that the chief’s lack of involvement had left them feeling abandoned and frustrated.

The residents had also threatened to withhold payment of ‘oman nsawa,’ (a form of tribute or tax), unless the chief provided accountability for the funds collected during his tenure.

 

 

Reactions

However, the sub-chiefs contend that these allegations are unfounded and malicious, stating that a small group of people in the community are behind the accusations, seeking to discredit the chief.

In a show of solidarity, the sub-chiefs have rallied behind Nana Boame Ankra II, praising his efforts in promoting development in Akyem Abenase.

They argue that the chief has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of community members and that his contributions should be recognized and appreciated.

To support their claims, the sub-chiefs provided a list of developmental projects undertaken by the chief, including:

– Construction of a community durbar grounds
– Development of a football pitch
– Provision of potable water
– Establishment of a police station
– Other notable projects

These projects, according to the sub-chiefs, demonstrate the chief’s commitment to the community’s growth and well-being. They urged the residents to focus on the positive developments and work together to address any challenges, rather than spreading unfounded allegations.

The sub-chiefs defense of their chief highlights the complexities of traditional leadership and the challenges that come with it.

As they navigate these challenges, it is essential for community members to engage in constructive dialogue, focusing on finding solutions that benefit everyone.
