The King of the Asante Kingdom, Oumfuo Osei Tutu II, has affirmed his neutrality with regard to the feud among some Paramount Chiefs on Ga land.
“I take no sides,” the Asantehene emphasised while discounting misinterpretation of his association with the Ga Mantse.
Otumfuo recounted how concerns were raised by some persons following his visit to Ga Mantse two years ago, noting that he was unaware of any existing disagreement at the time.
Acknowledging the prevailing issues, His Majesty posited that resolution boils down to history.
Otumfuo said this when a delegation of the Greater Accra House of Chiefs led by the President, Oboade Notse Odaifio Welentsi III, who doubles as Nungua Mantse, visited the Manhyia Palace on January 30, 2026.
The visit was used to seek collaboration with the Asantehene to attract international investment, request Otumfuo’s inclusion in a proposed conflict adjudication committee for the Region, and extend an invitation to the 200th Anniversary of the Akatamanso War.
The delegation included Nene Tetteh Wakah III, the Vice President of the Greater Accra House of Chiefs; Nene Osroagbo Djangmah XII, Paramount Chief of Ningo Traditional Area; Gbetsoolor Nii Ashitey Akomfra III, Paramount Chief of Teshie; and Tatse Nii Laryea Akuetteh X, the Paramount Chief of Katamanso.
