A former high-ranking police officer has urged the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, to strengthen peaceful relations with the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, emphasizing the importance of preserving the long-standing bond between Dormaa and the Asante Kingdom.
According to him, the people of Dormaa have traditionally respected the Golden Stool and lived in harmony with Asanteman, a legacy he believes should continue.
In a viral video that has attracted public attention, the retired police commander, known for his distinguished career in the Ghana Police Service, voiced concern over recent tensions involving some traditional rulers.
He stressed that peaceful coexistence depends on mutual respect and collaboration between communities.
He remarked that showing respect to the Asantehene is rooted in a desire for peace and should not be mistaken for submission or weakness.
The former officer further appealed to the Dormaahene to champion dialogue and understanding between the Dormaa and Asante traditional authorities.
He argued that Ghana’s cultural unity becomes stronger when traditional rulers cooperate and prioritize harmony over rivalry.
His statement has been warmly received online, with many social media users praising the message as wise and patriotic.
In light of occasional tensions linked to regional and traditional matters, many believe his appeal serves as an important reminder of the value of respect, unity, and shared cultural identity in sustaining national peace.
