They were accompanied by Prophet Kumchacha and a delegation from Onua TV, the media house where Afia Pokua made derogatory comments about the Asantehene.
Dressed in all black, Afia Pokua was seen kneeling in front of the Otumfuo’s representative during the introduction.
Moderated by the Otumfuo’s Okyeame (Linguist), both parties are currently addressing the issues, and the offenders are set to present their third apology to the delegation.
Background
The controversy began when Afia Pokua, a journalist at Agoo TV, criticised the Asantehene for his perceived silence amid ongoing conflicts involving his subjects and other tribes, including the Bonos.
On Onua FM’s ‘Bribi Gye Gye wo,’ hosted by Mona Gucci, Pokua expressed frustration with what she sees as Ashantis proving superiority over other tribes and the Asantehene’s refusal to act on it.
These statements have sparked massive outrage among the Ashantis, with many individuals, including sub-chiefs and queen mothers, openly voicing their criticism.
Also, the irate Asante youth staged a protest and held a press conference to address the situation.
