OFFINSO TRADITIONAL COUNCIL TO SERMON NPP SUPPORTERS WHO INVOKED CURES ON PARTY EXECUTIVES

The NPP supporters who pronounced ‘Offin Abena’ River to curse the party’s executives on Thursday, 4, has incurred the wrath of Nananom in Offinso, and are to appear before Offinso Traditional Council.

They invoked the curses using 1 crate of eggs, 1 bottle of schnapps, 1 fowl and slaughtered a white sheep which they offered to the River god.

It could be recalled that, some NPP youth claiming to be supporters of Dr Isaac Yaw Opoku, one of the parliamentary aspirants of the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP) in the Offinso south constituency in the Ashanti region, invoked curses on any individual or group that attempt to discourage any of the two aspirants contesting with the incumbent Member of Parliament, hon Ben Abdalla Bandah.

In their incantations, the leader of the group, Mr Offeh Collins Kingsley a.k.a hon Bonti, an assembly member for Agyeimpra electoral area said “We invoke a curse on John Boadu, Mr Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu, the Ashanti regional chairman, Chairman Wontumi and any NPP party executive if they attempts to declare Ben Abdallah Banda unopposed to prevent any of the two men to contest the incumbent MP.

Reacting to the news on Time FM on Saturday, the Offinsohene Kyeame, Lindquist, Nana Kwaku Wiafe said, the angry youth erred and have breached the traditional customs of Offinso lands in their incantations.

He said, the Offinso Paramount Chief, Nana Wiafe Akenten (III) perceiving chaos in the upcoming Offinso South parliamentary primaries, sent a delegation to the office of the Ashanti regional chairman, Mr Bernard Antwi Boasiako generally known as Wontumi for intervention which was unfruitful.

Kyeame Kwaku Wiafe said the supporters did not seek approval to enter into the Offin River from the Traditional Council thus, the said youth will not go unpunished.

On the same Medium, the Offinso Naduasa Chief who doubles as Offinso Baamuhene, Nana Kofi Adu Boahene (l) a.k.a Nana Kings mentioned that, it’s prohibited by Offinso Traditional Council and Asanteman as a whole to call on the deity to invoke cures in a quest to seek instant justice.

Nana Baamuhene said a 7 member committee from the council will summon the supporters to appear before them, but the day for the summon remains undisclosed.

The Chief advised that the irate youth could have embarked on a peaceful demonstration to sound their grievances instead of provoking the local gods to strike.
