I am the only one with permission to insult Asantehene - Twene Jonas
Twene Jonas, a U.S.-based Ghanaian political commentator, has entered the fray regarding the recent drama involving media personality Afia Pokua and the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
He asserted that he is uniquely positioned to criticize the Asantehene without facing repercussions, probably suggesting that his role as a commentator affords him a special license to make such statements or he has a special right.
The controversy began when Afia Pokua, on Mona Gucci’s show “Bribi Gyegye Wo,” criticized the Asantehene for his perceived inability to address various societal issues despite his influential position.
Her comments stirred significant unrest among social media users and notable figures, particularly those of Asante descent, such as Afia Schwarzenegger.
These individuals voiced strong objections to Pokua’s remarks, defending the Asantehene’s reputation.
In response to the backlash, Afia Pokua issued a public apology, seeking to quell the growing tension. Nevertheless, this move did little to calm the storm.
The apology prompted further reactions from the public, including a notable response from Twene Jonas.
The unfolding saga highlights the intense scrutiny and emotional reactions surrounding high-profile figures in Ghanaian society, particularly when they are involved in disputes with influential traditional leaders.
The debate continues to capture the attention of both social media users and the broader public, reflecting the complex dynamics of power, influence, and criticism in Ghanaian public discourse.
