Nii Yaote Oto � Ga II, the Ga Paramount stool Dsasetse, King makers of the Ga paramountcy has on behalf of all Ga people apologised to President Mills for the ruthless manner in which the �Ga Mantse� addressed him in his recent interview with the media. The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Tawiah II, in an interview with Peace FM recently alleged that President Mills is allowing himself to be ill-advised by �standard seven boys� to shun Ga chiefs and warned the President not to allow himself to be fooled into thinking that the people of Ga could be taken for granted by his administration. Addressing the Press on Thursday, Nii Yaote Oto-Ga II dissociated the Ga Paramount Stool Dsase from the pronouncements and chided Nii Tackie Tawiah for �posturing for recognition that he does not deserve.� �He is so persuaded by his inordinate and vain ambition such that he is totally unaware that he is betraying his utter frustration and fatal desperation.� He said. Nii Yaote Oto-Ga reiterated the position of the Ga paramount Dsase that King Tackie who he described as a "charlatan mantse", is illegitimate and should not therefore be recognised as the Ga Mantse. �We wish to state categorically that the Ga paramount Dsase, the only legitimate and customarily mandated and recognised body of king makers of the paramount stool have not at any time installed any one as Ga Mantse since the demise of our illustrious Boni Nii Amugi II, for the Ga state. "Therefore anyone parading himself as �Ga Mantse� is illegitimate and does not have the authority and mandate of the paramount stool dsase." The Ga King makers are therefore calling on the general public and state institutions to desist from referring to King Tackie Tawiah as the Ga Mantse. �Any reference or attribution to the position presently to any person is wrong and flies in the face of the sensibilities of Ga people and all reference to a �Ga Mantse� must cease forthwith.
