Apologise to Dormaahene – Groups to John Boadu

The Dynamic Youth Movement of Dormaa (DYMOD) and the Young Professionals Group of Dormaa (YPGD) have called on the General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) John Boadu to apologise to Dormaa for attacking Osegyefo Oseadieyo Agyemang Badu (Aduana Piesie), the Paramount Chief of the Dormaa Traditional Area.

They pointed out that Mr Boadu and his executives and government officials without cross-checking their information with Osegyefo Oseadieyo Dr Agyemang Badu regarding a courtesy call on him by the Inter-Party Resistance Against The Compilation Of New Register (IPRANR), jumped into the media and started casting aspersions against him.

DYMOD and YPGD said “such clear display of impudence by John Boadu and his cohorts will be faced the next time with fierce opposition with equal measure of disrespect”.

“It is worth noting that, because of John Boadu’s reckless comment, another member of the NPP, one Abronye, has also spoken and made ’empty-like’ analysis on the wise counsel of the revered Paramount Chief.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Nana, has been a member of the bar and bench for over two decades, and people, just because of party politics, cannot talk back at the respected and learned High court Judge,” the groups said.

They noted that Dormaahene at no point in expressing his views on the Electoral Commission’s (EC’s) attempt to compile a new register said he will ban the EC from exercising its constitutional mandate on his land.

They also said the Dormaahene did not also express a vague opinion on the voters’ register but rather professed his traditional, constitutional and wise counsel on why he thought compiling a new voters’ register at this period would not help promote the hard-earned peace and stability as a country and called for consensus building.

In a statement, DYMOD and YPGD said, “Upon careful analysis of the reckless statement by John Bouadu directed at the person of the Dormaahene, we the Dynamic Youth Movement Of Dormaa demand;

1. A public apology to Osegyefo Oseadieyo Agyemang Badu, the Paramount Chief of Dormaa Traditional Area and the entire Aduana clan.

2. A statement from the leadership of the NPP against the attacks on Dormaahene by the rank and file of their party.

3. A personal appearance of Mr John Bouadu at the Dormaa palace to perform the necessary rites to pacify the Dormaa stool and fortify the name of the Dormaahene.
