Our attention has been drawn to derogative comments made by National Democratic Congress’s Ashanti Regional secretary (Kwame Zu) toward Okyeman and our beloved King (Okyenhene Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin). The audio which is 32 seconds long is purported to rain heavy insults on us which we think should not be made to any human being; not to talk of a Ghanaian (a social democrat) making these comments towards a fellow Ghanaian.
We the Okyeman Youth for Development have taken this incident very serious this time because of prior incidents with other NDC faithful. 
For instance, in 2016, the then Eastern Regional Minister (Mavis Ama Frimpong) canceled a planned visit to the Okyenhene’s palace at Kyebi following the ban of two National Democratic Congress (NDC) executives from entering the Ofori Panin Fie (palace). The ban was inflicted on the Eastern Regional chairman (Bismarck Tawiah Boateng) and the youth organizer (Apau Haruna Owiredu) of the ruling NDC, by the Kyebi Executive Council for insulting and disrespecting the King of Akyem Abuakwa Kingdom, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin, and his stool.
In addition, Jamal Konneh, a formal NDC eastern Regional communication officer mounted a similar attack on Okyeman; notwithstanding Mugabe of Muntie Fm attacks on Okyeman and Okyenhene prior to 2016 elections.
Recounting prior incidents with NDC aspirants and their disrespect and arrogance to Okyeman, we the youth are sending a warning to the leadership of NDC to admonish their members to give due respect to Okyeman. Some NDC’s practice of intentionally insulting Okyeman and later backtracking with apologies would no more be encouraged in our Traditional Area. To this end, we call on Kwame Zu (NDC Regional secretary -Ashanti) to publicly apologize to the Okyeman Traditional Council by coming to the ofori panin fie .
