This video documents a political controversy in Ghana where Ashanti bloggers and AVOSA (Ashanti Volunteer Security Association) protested the selection of Tourism Minister Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as guest of honor for the Asantehene Arts Award 2026, citing protocol violations and perceived disrespect to Ashanti traditions. The protest led to a temporary withdrawal of Ashanti defense platforms from defending the kingdom, demonstrating how traditional authorities in Ghana can mobilize collective action through social media to challenge government decisions that they perceive as undermining cultural protocols and royal dignity.

Ashanti Bloggers & AVOSA Protest & Block Dzifa Gomashie From Asantehene Arts Award at ManhyiaHinzugefügt:
I would then tell you that on the 13th of May 2026, something happened.
Emma, most of the pro Ashanti Facebook blogs not they weren't really happy with the decision I made here in TK here because people are in fact it wasn't really them alone because I only think we had an issue here.
Within this group here from Avosa, they are the people that mostly say program also mention here or more and I did you know who being collaboration with the National Security Forum also be banned.
Almost every Ashanti defense force and I say Ashanti volunteer security association of your former Avosa. They also weren't really happy with that decision and yesterday they threatened say in fact they first made a post and declared metro move mention you made any name or more by elements here again. But then later or more I would draw it from that decision and they released a full statement Nina and I have a more full details the breakdown maybe I didn't have free by the blue high and all that.
Not when we are there to I made a decision of first time I was subscribed to channel video update into it all started around a few last week mobile where you say honorable Abledie Fab machine a cocoa say to Ashanti for and all that. In fact the video and I say anyhow and I narrated in fact a whole lot being called a whole deep but will be out how we sitting in Kumasi. So it was there and then the Ashanti is some of them felt agitated say we did you matter when you saw to or more and that's what rejected or more language or more in fact it was a whole thing. Now in run it was announced that there will be a program and we'll mention here your friend of Ashanti art award.
Now that program because of them not honorable Abledie Fab machine or more the tourism minister able to me have been making appearance as the guest of honor. Now mind you say or representing government in this ability because of honor say when you issue no or bar she's not coming in her capacity as the Abledie Fab machine or more issue no or bar as a bank. because this is a program a falling under the tourism ministry and it is only right say or not so be happy grace the occasion because a falling under me you made it.
Plus Ghana so near where in order so it was just a fire was a mansion playing for dinner who knows say it would be very good say be inviting it that's right all the blue and a social media you to know and then one year I didn't know so they extended an invitation and she was built to be there as the guest of honor. And Nana Addo is on our invitation ever all and this is a video of her all program not see a all casa.
Now a blast or never I say you invite him no I'm a number will be no.
That was where everything went sour yeah just a mouthful of food. Oh.
Now the Facebook who yeah on the invitation a course you have more for a move here was a voter and that is how I advise okay I have to take this story seriously and I may dig it deeper.
Because I was a foreigner or money.
They are recognized a woman share as the defensive wing of Manhyia program because of who say a man I can think I'm for more over buying. So all more all more each a breezy issue be a in a way a legitimate and it carries some seriousness. So they first made this post say our tools are down we can no longer fight for Asante. We didn't realize that certain protocols within the palace air work here against all more of all the phone because all more we've been too naive as Asantes. What the man disgraced us to the Caribbean yet he was later seen at Manhyia. Bongo ideas insult as daily yet he travels to Kumasi. Kevin Taylor insult us every day yet he attempted [clears throat] to visit Manhyia with the help of a minister and some Nana Anum an act that we are voters we stood against it. Since this woman which is honorable Abled Gifty Osei Wusu Anum since this woman became the tourism minister she has shown nothing but tribalism and hatred towards Asante or anything Asante. And now she is your guest. The protocol at the palace has deeply disappointed us and so we are stepping back. From now on, we will be merely we will be mere spectators. Count our voter out and do not call on us for any future problems.
Disgraceful. And they added an angry emoji. And this is our voter for almost first statement on making it. Now there is another statement on my dropping fully.
And then I started to say, "Okay, what is going on?" So my name for like then anyone who there is another Asante Facebook page. Yeah, from Asante my connect. They also say say we've stepped down from defending Asante and we kindly encourage other Asante platforms to follow suit.
Our special guest says saying, "How could Wadomaia enter the palace?" Then another Facebook blog Asante Facebook page your from Asante for almost page name no no say and they've seen people on X, which is Twitter formerly, withdrawing from defending Sekyerewa after the publication of the guest of honor for Asante my awards 2026. The disappointment keeps going on and on.
People can't take it anymore than to back off. I also chance on this post Asante online TV. The over diplomacy at the palace gives more room for denigration. More Asantes are laying down their Sekyerewa defense tools.
And also on what do you then I I came back to Asante for me be more more quality of water for no and same baby I don't know more can wear they were complaining about Wadomaia's alleged or no so disgrace you Asante for and then they were they were all allowed then.
Okay, and then or dress say this comes after the publication of the tourism, culture, and creative minister.
I believe the fog of my share the guest of honor for Asante Asante Hene Arts Awards 2026. This is has heartbreaking because Awofisah is doing a wonderful job and to see them taking this stand is something I think the palace protocol team and Awofisah team should sit and talk.
The protocol team should explain to them why she's the guest of honor. There is more. Asante heritage and tourist guide on another page. We step down from defending Asante and almost encouraging other Asante platforms to also want to step it down because to them I just want to know it also.
What is Anna almost all blasting the way people are not also able to find this they should come down because they mention them before. What they say don't they know what they are doing?
It's not like they will betray them.
You can just go ahead with your advocacy. Let me mention them before do the diplomacy.
What they are saying because sometimes any amount of wood emotions ever come on and people will think differently.
Then Asante might connect came back saying Manhyia Bekwai and even Jaben didn't keep mute when they noticed some decisions made were wrong. Asante lost the British Asante lost to the British because states like Manhyia Bekwai didn't join. Silence isn't in our DNA.
And then Asante might connect they went as far as trying to even sell their platforms as you see them. Almost all of them say every Asante sent me to make their deal via Asante my publicity in Ghana. So that Asante my connect page then and now they posted saying almost all of them along with other social media handles are almost all of the pro-Asante and publications. Also we have platforms across all the social media. Anyone interested should contact to buy should contact to buy as we are stepping down from defending Asante. How can they always continue to entertain our adversaries? Really?
Is that serious?
Then there is one one lady be a friend of Akosua Agyapong or Yaa Asantewaa no defend Yaa Asantewaa And that is the reason I want to step it down.
And people came and countered as a youth on social media emotions So there were other people come tell them They don't really condone And I say the Then Afia Asantewaa drop a another statement a full statement. And Afia Asantewaa drop a statement later was after saying they did And now they came up with another statement we almost say Why am I not defending on social media?
Is it the Sika Dwa the golden stool and I say themselves as Ashantis? And they answer is that they are defending all three.
One only defend the Asanteman by the golden stool because the link is to the stool. I interpret a combi the will of Osei Tutu the people. Furthermore they defend the golden stool because it is the soul of the Ashanti nation.
And then also almost lastly they defend themselves because I see lastly we defend ourselves because we are Ashantis.
When people insult, bully, intimidate or sideline us we cannot remain idle spectators. As we must stand on our grounds not so many of you might end it are normal. And when I'm making my record, say I'm going to do admittedly only two minutes say they were filled with indignation and sorrow when they witnessed adversaries oppress us daily. Adversaries who, despite insulting our king, uh they still seek his favor. It becomes unbearable for them. And to initially only decide to take it that difficult stance of withdrawing from Asante money. A defense. Now, only ordinary Asantes are almost to be chosen not to confront bullies. However, upon deep deeper reflection, only I discussions and we say so many guys are supposed to be guys who are making a normal dinner. Only you and I. Nobody will fill in for them. And you know, every Asante on the digital platform plays a vital role in defending the Asante Trinity, Sikadwa, Asantehene, and Asante money. Only you can say almost specific mandate only they get their money. A very unique and they believe say they are the only ones who are equipped to execute it.
And some of them mandate to STTB or whatever say this includes apprehending those who defame the king. Although you form which is also to Asantehene you form only combating illegal mining or my hand offenders to the authorities. I think so I'm conducting community patrols to deter crime and also assist the police and military during the king's public engagement. They also take pride in ensuring the cleanliness of Kumasi by holding those who later accountable. And only you can say these duties are essential to preserving only precious heritage and they can't ignore that. So, only you can say after careful examination, they are pleading with all agreed Asantes which is based on this decision say the honorable cultural minister about Asante about guest of honor. A decision among them for a beautiful day. I am pleading with all aggrieved Asantes.
And to their dedicated followers say among returning back to post As for the woman which is honorable minister and the tourism minister as for the woman in question and her accomplices they shall not be forgiven for bullying the Asante people distorting our history subverting our norms and right and laying claim to what is rightfully ours. A voter hereby declares his stance once again. We are committed Sikeja spirited force rallying behind the kingdom.
So let no one panic. A voter is here to stay and we will never abandon Asanteman. Let us reunite and continue our mandate. That woman and any way you better that woman the tourism minister shall not scatter us. She will not prevail and we are perennial winners because we are united.
Let us ignore anything that sows the seed of division. Regarding her presence she's only attending the program because it is a partnership with UNESCO and falls under her official sector. Aside from government mandated events she would have no grounds to step foot in the palace for any significant program.
Trust our resolve just as we prevented K. Intela from visiting Manhyia stalling his progress when he was 85% of the way there a voter remains vigilant. Trust the process and remember the king's wisdom. A voter is back. Thank you to everyone Initially only desires and go back to every Asante 70 because up upon a a second reflection.
You made me because I represented the UNESCO side of it.
I guess here. But then I say it's any government sanction program beyond all.
Honorable Abedi Fagomashi and by mention of in his capacity as minister of all one and two member of a Abedi Fagomashi or mama will be close to him say my name is Abedi Fagomashi as an assignment any among casa by the videos Nana Ekuor Rhona and based on that they will never forgive the honorable minister.
A whole number two in a city instance is here or my KB or my year. A whole bunch of them will prevent Abedi Taylor one time beyond and at that time Nana Mensah and I say Abedi Taylor and my year no it was about 85% prepared. But still they stepped in and says ambassador Nana Nana. So some castle minister no Abedi Mensah be my they know what they are doing or my baby pain and they can do it. So this is a voice that's speaking after say Enra.
Now or my declare say and any feelings or my the capacity any power no make me Abedi say Abedi and Abedi no mention or my minister being some and Nana Mensah to Abedi to Abedi Mensah Abedi to Abedi Mensah to Abedi to Abedi to any honorable thing Nana say to Abedi Mensah Abedi Mensah back to post the bloggers the Facebook post a pages I hold on I'm going to go for Nana Abedi Mensah Nana Abedi and Abedi as an assignment. Nana as an assignment into me and go so what do you say yeah? We A A Abedi Nana Abedi Abedi Abedi Nana after say Enra. News ever say honorable Abedi Fagomashi Abedi to me I make it the guest appearance as a guest of honor Abedi Mensah for the Asante Art Awards.
