A section of Ghanaians have sided with Togbe Afede XIV, the Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State’s decision to reject gifts presented to him by popular New Patriotic Party MP, Kennedy Agyapong.
According to social media users who have reacted to the news, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central has on different occasions ‘disrespected’ the Volta chief and also made some damning comments on the people from the region.
As earlier reported, the MP visited Ho on Friday to pay homage to the chiefs and people of the Asogli State as part of the annual Yam Festival.
He presented some gift items to Togbe Afede but according to reports, the said items were rejected.
In viral videos from the durbar grounds, some men were captured packing packs of bottled water back into a vehicle believed to be owned by the MP.
Togbe Afede XIV topped Twitter trends on Saturday and Sunday with tons of tweeps sharing varied opinions on his move. However, a majority commended him for the wise move which they believe will serve as a caution to politicians in high positions.

Togbe Afede is a wise King in every sense! I salute him🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

An invitation to him did not request for niceties. Mind you he was invited because of his status and he was not the only MP invited. That said, the Asogli state rejecting gifts is a protest against his conduct. Togbe Afede is incorruptible

What Togbe Afede did is good, bcos they cannot associate with their enemy. Someone who said in 2012 that Akans should kill EWES in the Ashanti Region, Ewes are not hypocrite.

Volta chiefs need to learn from Togbe Afede so that they will respect our Ewe chiefs
