The Omanhene of the Dormaa Traditional Area, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II has some reservations about the Electoral Commission and its preparations towards the planned new voters registration exercise.

Ghanaian is sick with politics. It Hard to tell the truth in Ghana
Does this man understand the republican status of this country? If he does, he wouldn't make such bellicose statements. I challenge him to Marshall his troops to stop the registration when it starts and let us see how his sleeping place would change. Some intelligent member of his palace must sit him down and breakdown the implications of his statements to him. His small area is part of Ghana and subject to the laws of the land. Mr. Chief of dormaa, please seek knowledge about the fact Tha your perceived power do not extend beyond the doors of your palace.
Mahama promised him a Supreme Court sear if he won the 2016 elections and it did not happen. He similar ***barred word*** effusions during the 2916 elections campaign. One will have thought he would shut his big mouth (literally) but he has not. All judges have parties they vote for but are wise not to speak about. And he is a chief too. Was he not the one trying to compare himself to Otumfuor? The cheek of it! There chiefs and there are chiefs
I THOUGHT HE SAID IT IN ENGLISH BUT IF HE SAID IT IS OUR LOCAL LANGUAGE THEN WE HAVE TO RUBISH HIS UTTERANCE-BAM.AFTER ALL WHO IS HE AND WHAT POSITION DOES HE PLAYS IN GHANA POLITICS?THIS IS UNCI-V-IL-IZ-ED,BOGUS,un-th-in-ka-ble,UN-ED-UC-AT-IV-E AND ENEMY OF PROGRESS UTTERANCE.AS A TRADIONAL CHIEF YOU DON,T HAVE TO FLOW LIKE THAT.
Nana so called Dormaahene, wo ye ***barred word*** pii. It is people like you who have drawn our beloved country Ghana backwards. Who are you to demand that the EC should not carry out its constitutional duties. Ghana is an independent constitutional country. All traditional rulers are subject to the laws of Ghana. You have no authority whatsoever to debar the EC to do it work in Dormaa Ahenkro. What you can do is not to register. When I say "you" I mean you as an individual. You can not even tell your wife not to register. If you coerce anybody else not to register the laws of Ghana are to deal with you. You claim to be a person of the "LAW" and yet you are behaving this way. Your corrupt NDC will never have access to the Jubilee House. If ***barred word*** like you are leading people where will they end up. Gyimi nii.
Royal NDC Clown. Has any EC Boss ever been summoned to appear before the House of Chiefs? If the EC should be going round answering to all the places the NDC takes their lies to can the EC do any work at all? You have sent the EC to the Supreme Court and they are dealing with that by appearing in court and at the same time you asking chiefs to invite them to appear before them. Since the Supreme Court is the body to bring finality to the issue, and not the House of Chiefs the EC should deal with the SC and not the House of Chiefs for now. Maybe if after the SC decision the chiefs want to be taught how to vote or register they can go and teach them. How come some of these partisan chiefs for once cannot get for themselves a little dignity by telling the NDC the truth that they are f000ling too much.
The vandal in him finally resurrected. In Commonwealth Hall he was so shy, good to see him shake up a bit. But.....
DORMAA CHIEF IS MADD. HE IS CRAZYY THAT THE EC IS NOT DANCING TO A CERTAIN TUNE TO SATISFY THE PAROCHIAL INTERESTS OF SOME CHIEFS IN GHANA . HIS REACTION WAS WEIRDDD BECAUSE NOBODY EXPECTS HIM AS THE NOBLE CHIEF OF DORMAA TO ACT IN THAT PARTISAN MANNER. HE ACTED CONTRARY TO THE DIGNITY OF HIS TRADITIONAL OFFICE AND CAREER PROFESSION. THE UNCONTROLLABLE EMOTION HE PORTRAYED IS INIMICALLL NOT ONLY TO HIS TRADITIONAL ROLE BUT ALSO TO HIS PROFESSION AS JUDGE. HE SHOWED THAT HE COULD WRONGLY SENTENCE GOOD PEOPLE TO JAIL OR BE FINED, JUST AS HE COULD AS WELL SET CRIMINALS FREE OUT OF ERRATICCC JUDGEMENT. FEW DAYS AGO A CERTAIN APOSTLE OWUSU ADJEI SMOKE WEEEE AND GOT OUT OF CONTROL TO MAKE THREATS AND INSULTS AGAINST SOME HARD WORKING STATE PERSONALITIES. WE EXPECT SOBER MINDS WHO OCCUPY TRADITIONAL OFFICE SUCH AS HIS TO SPEAK VEHEMENTLY AGAINST THAT BEHAVIOR AND NOT TO ACT IN A MANNER THAT SUPPORT IT. HE ENJOYS HIS ROLE AS A TRADITIONAL CHIEF BECAUSE THERE IS PEACE AND STABILITY IN GHANA. IN A STATE OF CONFUSION AND CHAOS HE WOULD BE INSECURE AND POWERLESS AS ANY ORDINARY GHANAIAN. HE WOULD HAVE NO PRIVILEGE WHATSOEVER TO THROW HIS WEIGHT ABOUT AS "ME DORMAA CHIEF". AS HE CHOSE TO DUB IN PARTY COLORS HE SHOULD APPRECIATE THAT HE HAS ONLY ONE VOTE AND HE CANNOT COMPEL EVEN HIS OWN WIFE TO VOTE IN THE WAY THAT HE WOULD LIKE. HE SEEMS TO BE INCENSED BY TOGBE AFEDZI INVITATION TO EC. DORMAA CHIEF, TOGBE AFEDZE OR ANY OTHER CHIEF MUST BE REALISTIC TO KNOW THAT EC HAS A DUTY TO FULFILL TO ALL GHANAIANS. EC IS WORKING SO HARD TO MAKE UP THE DELAY CAUSED BY COVID-19. SO THE EC DOES NOT HAVE THE PLEASURE OF TIME FOR PLEASANTRIES. NOT QUITE LONG AGO EC AND ALL HIS TOP STAFF WENT TO MENHYIA AND SOME CHIEFS FOR BRIEFINGS AND SOLICIT OF OPINIONS. WHAT AGAIN DOES DORMAA CHIEF EXPECT FROM EC. SHOULD EC BE RUNNING IN AND OUT OF PALACES EVERYDAY? WOULD THAT DO THE WORK FOR EC?. CAN ANY OF THAT EXONERATE EC IF THEY FAIL TO DO THEIR WORK. IT IS SAD THAT SOME PEOPLE LIKE DORMAA CHIEF NEED TO BE TOLD THIS HARD TRUTHS BEFORE THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THIS SIMPLE REALITY OF LIFE. THE CHALLENGES OF EC IS ALSO COMPOUNDED WITH COURT CASES, WHICH I THINK THE COURT MUST ACT TO PROTECT THE INDEPENDENCE OF EC TO GIVE THEM THE PEACE THEY NEED TO WORK. EVERYBODY CANNOT GET WHAT THEY WANT, IT IS THE LAW THAT DECIDES. DORMAA CHIEF MUST KNOW THAT THOUGH SILENT, MANY GHANAIANS ARE NOT ENTHUSED ABOUT SOME TRADITIONAL LEADERS BECAUSE OT THEIR OPEN PARTISAN ATTITUDE. MANY IN GHANA KNOW ABOUT HIS POLITICAL LOYALTY. HE IS ALSO NOTED FOR HIS ERRATIC STATEMENTS AND HIS INCONSISTENT EMOTIONAL APTITUDE. HE MUST KNOW THAT HE IS NOT LIKE TOGBE AFEDZI. TOGBE IS A CHIEF OVER PEOPLE OF ALMOST ONE POLITICAL PARTY. DORMAA CHIEF IS CHIEF IN THE AREA OF DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES. ANY MISUSE OF HIS TRADITIONAL ROLE OR LESS CAREFUL UTTERANCES CAN EASILY INCUR THE ROUGH OF HIS OWN PEOPLE. HIS THEREAT TO OBSTRUCT THE REGISTRATION OF HIS PEOPLE IS MISCALCULATED AND INSULT TO THE INTEGRITY AND THE LIBERTY OF HIS OWN PEOPLE AT DORMAA. HE NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE IN ORDER TO APPEASE THEM. HE IS A CHIEF BUT HE CANNOT STOP PEOPLE TO EXERCISE THEIR CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY. NOBODY CAN FORCE HIM TO REGISTER, NEITHER CAN HE STOP ANYBODY TO REGISTER. IT IS UNFORTUNATE FOR A PERSON OF HIS STATUS AND PROFESSION TO EXHIBIT SUCH AN OFFENSIVE CHARACTER. NO SERIOUS MIND CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT HE AND HIS LIKE WANT FROM EC. THE WORK OF EC IS DEFINED BY LAW. EC CANNOT OVERTURN ANYTHING DECIDED BY THE CONSTITUTION, THE PARLIAMENT NOR THE SUPREME COURT. AS ELDERS OF THE SOCIETY, WE EXPECT THE CHIEFS TO BE OF GOOD EXAMPLE TO RESPECT AND SUPPORT THE RULE OF LAW. THE PREVIOUS OFFICIALS OF EC LOST MANY CASES AT THE SUPREME COURT BECAUSE THEY ACTED WRONGLY. THAT IS INCOMPETENCEE. GHANAIANS DO NOT EXPECT THE CURRENT EC TO VIOLATE THE LAWS TO BECOME INCOMPETENTTT. WE MUST LEAVE EC ALONE TO GET THE PEACE THEY NEED FOR THEIR WORK.
The chief never said don’t come and register, he said If i ban you from registering people on this land what will you do?
What a l0ker. And this is a judge. So the Dormaa gene is above the laws of Ghana. Break the law and see.
