Manhyia palace hit by another petition from Offinso Ahyirem Royal family as offinso chieftaincy dispute intensified

The Asona Ahyirem Royal family of Offinso have served a royal notice to the Manhyia Palace about the eligibility of Kwawaboase family lead by Nana Amoako Poku to select someone for the Offinso Paramount stool.According to the Ashirem Royal gate, the true Royals from Ashirem does not include kwakwaboase and can not select someone without the main family head(Abusuapanin) of the Larger Ashirem royals. Kwakwaboase is not fully reorganized customarily to take lead in such royal activities.

This was contain in a petition to the Asantehene Otumfour Osei Tutu 11 who had in his last Asanteman council meeting urged the Offinsomanhemaa Nana Ama Serwaa Nyarko 11 to select the next king for the throne from the said family.

The petition noted that,His Majesty Nana Asantehene Osei Tutu 1 once married a woman called Madam Konadu Alias Kwakwaboa who was from a small town called kyekyebon near Kwadaso Kumasi Madam Konadu was from the Bretuo clan. Nana Amoako is a grandson of Madam Konadu who was the Oheneyere.

Her descendants were always at the Manhyia palace the seat of The Asante Kingdom.

The male decendants of Nana Konadu are in charge of Otumfuo’s Kekabuo
stool while the female descendants were in charge of or taking care of the
prisoners (Nneduafuo ) at the palace. Nana Yaw Ofe who was an
Offinsomanhene was once imprisoned at Manhyia palace for many years, for
his misconduct in the palace during a festive occasion.

During that period Maame Konadu helped Nana Yaw Ofe in diverse ways, so
when Nana Yaw Ofe was released from prison he wanted to compensate
Nana Konadu for her kind gesture. He decided then to bring two of her
children Yaa Badu and Kwame Ampoma to Offinso and stayed with them.

They all lived with the Asona Akonkodease family of which Nana Yaw Ofe
belonged, with the passage of time they became part of the Akonkodease
family. Nana Yaw Akyeaa alias Yaa Badu subsequently became the queen
mother of Offinso in 1933 and when she died she was buried at the
Akonkodease Royal cemetery
