NDA Reacts To Post-Dormaa Hene Interview Attacks By Pro-Otumfuo Groups of Ashantis
After her pre-fundraiser interview with Osagyefo Osiadiaye Agyemang Badu II, Naana Donkor Arthur faces a mass hot wrath on social media by a pro-Otumfuo group of Ashantis over her asking a question about the effects of the DormaHene-Otumfuo feud to which the Dormaa Hene’s response implicated her, as the Ashantis deem the interview’s questionnaire detour to Otumfuo Osie Tutu II offensive.
The Dormaa Hene had flown to Newark, New Jersey, for a three day event to solicit for pubbic and member donations towards the building of a clinic in Sunyani by The Council of Bono-Ahafo Associations of North America (COBAANA) and Naana Donkor Arthur (a US-based social media influencer) sought the need to grant him an interview to get him sharing the COBAANA agenda with the general public, as he is the head of COBAANA.
Out of a generally acceptable professional curiosity and a harmless intention to get a source revelation for public knowledge, basically from a journalist point of view, Naana Donkor Arthur asked Osagyefo Osiadiaye Agyemang Badu II about the impact of his royal feud with Otumfuo Osie Tutu II on the relationship between Bono and Ashanti communities, he referred to the feud as a contention between adults and advised that the youths stay out of the feud’s confines and desist from disrespecting Otumfuo”s seniority. He declared that his priority is set to developing the Bono-Ahafo communities, so he has no interest in petty conflicts.
In recent times, the feud between Osagyefo Osiadiaye Agyemang Badu II (king of Dormma) and Otumfuo Osie Tutu II (king of the Ashanti Kingdom) sparked serious extended verbal altercations between the Dormaa people and the Ashanti people on social media. The two angry factions developed hatred for each other as a result, thus the Ashantis lately would prefer the Dormma king keeps Otumfuo’s name out of his mouth.
The Ashantis home and abroad got furious at Naana Donkor Arthur for asking a question that got Osagyefo Osiadiaye Agyemang Badu II talking about Otumfuo Osie Tutu II. They are of the view that she should have strictly kept the interview to the COBAANA initiative of building a clinic in Sunyani. The Pro-Otumfuo group of irate Ashantis got personal with their fury. Some alluded their uncouthful verbal attacks to Naana Donkor Arthur’s autistic child.
In response to the mass Ashanti attack, Naana Donkor Arthur took to tiktok to express her resilience, that she won’t let the attackers’ wrath which was borne out of misconstruition break her poise. She admonished the attackers to stop attacking her and rather commend Osagyefo Osiadiaye Agyemang Badu II on his initiative to build a clinic in Sunyani.
The intended clinic, according to Osagyefo Osiadiaye Agyemang Badu II, is a kidney complications clinic that is meant to take care of kidney patients in the Bono-Ahafo communities and his team of executives at The Council of Bono-Ahafo Associations of North America (COBAANA) are working hard to raise funds towards the purchase of dialysis and other machines needed to treat kidney complications.
