The overlord of Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Area, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin has enstooled a 42 year old Estate Developer, Nana Kwame Somuah Frimpong Anokye as Ntentanhene (chief protocol) and charged him to be bold and courageous in the discharge of his duties.
According to him, people would hate, like, praise and give false testimonies against him, but he must be bold and courageous to administer his duties without fear or favour, as far as the decision he would take is in the collective growth of the traditional area.
“You must be bold, courageous and truthful to your position and the chiefs in the traditional area thereof, in the discharge of your mandate and legitimate duty. The very people who are hailing you today would be the same people to crucify you”, he stressed.
The respected overlord of the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional area made these remarks in a very short but impressive ceremony at Ofori Panin ‘fie’ (house), when the newly enstooled chief took his oath of office and allegiance.
Touching on the position, the Okyenhene hinted that he dreamt about the young man being enstooled as the Ntentanhene and after careful consultation and deliberation with his chiefs, he was considered.
“Now that you’ve been chosen as Okyeman Ntentanhene, anytime you are over burdened with an issue, be bold and talk about it with the linguist and the other chiefs, so we will know how to handle the issue.
“As you come, we want you to work with love and honesty. Be bold in your decision making. You are the right man for the job. Many people who are appointed always turn to disappoint us by exhibiting insolence in their dealings”
The newly enstooled chief, after taking the oath of office and allegiance, expressed his profound gratitude to the overlord, sub-chiefs and people of the traditional area, for the confidence reposed in him.
The 42 year old newly enstooled chief, who is married with three children, described the position as very important in the chieftaincy space of the area, with a huge responsibility.
Touching on the position, which is akin to chief of staff or state protocol, the Okyeman Ntentanhene stressed that he is responsible for directing, managing and overseeing all daily operations and traditional activities of Okyehene.
Nana Kwame Somuah Frimpong Anokye disclosed that he plans and orchestrates Very Important People (V.I.P.) visits, ceremonies, meetings and special events for and on behalf of Okyehene.
He assured the Okyehene of his readiness and commitment to uphold the chieftaincy, tradition and culture of the area in high esteem.
