The Dispatch in a banner headline story, says the controversy that erupted over the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu's ''thank you'' call on President Jerry Rawlings on June 18, seems to have been rekindled by reports that some senior members of the ruling NDC are very annoyed with the Ashanti Regional Minister, Mr Kojo Yankah, for reportedly apologising on behalf of the President on a Kumasi FM station.

The Dispatch in a banner headline story, says the controversy that erupted over the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu's ''thank you'' call on President Jerry Rawlings on June 18, seems to have been rekindled by reports that some senior members of the ruling NDC are very annoyed with the Ashanti Regional Minister, Mr Kojo Yankah, for reportedly apologising on behalf of the President on a Kumasi FM station. The paper says against this, is another group who think the Regional Minister acted in good faith. The Dispatch says the group within the NDC who are angry over Mr Yankah's remarks are claiming that the apology he reportedly offered over the FM station, pre-supposes that the President's bahaviour towards Otumfuo and his retinue of chiefs, was wrong. According to the paper, the group prepared to ask President Rawlings to recall Mr Yankah from his post in Kumasi.
