Three paramountcies — Akyem State, Abuakwa, Kotoku and Bosome have given the Former President John Mahama one week to withdraw and apologise to Akyems for the “Akyem Sakawa Boys” tag.
According to the chiefs and people who gathered to demonstrate at Asamankese today, ethnocentric statements from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its leaders have a tendency to plunge the nation into chaos if not condemned.
The demonstration, which brought together some chiefs and parliamentary candidates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), was organized by a group called Concerned Citizens of Okyeman.
The demonstrators feel the action by the former leader is distasteful and encourages tribal politicking.
Convenor of the group, Archibald Ntiri-Acquah wants the former president to retract the support he gave to the said article and rather focus on issue-based campaigns.
