\"QUESTIONS<\/p>\n

A social media activist of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yayra Koku has taken the Okyenhene Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin II to the cleaners over his recent comments against critiques of the government.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Okyenhene recently hit back at persons who criticize President Akufo-Addo\u2019s government over current economic hardship describing them as \u201cuncivilized villagers, witches, and wizards who have no sense of appreciation\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe must appreciate the feat of the President and show him appreciation for what he has done for Ghana. We must defend and protect him<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dThose insulting the President are children of villagers. They are uncivilized. No well-nurtured person will insult an elderly. If you were raised in the Church you will not insult an elder. If you are not villager then you may be a witch or wizard\u201d, he said<\/span><\/p>\n

Reacting to this on his Facebook wall, however, Yayra Koku says \u201cfools too grow old\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThose who insult Akufo-Addo are villagers and witches \u2013 Okyenhene. Me: I\u2019m trying hard NOT to write what\u2019s on my mind. But I just saw an inscription on a taxi, and it reads \u201cF00!s do grow old too, be careful who you take advice from\u201d, he wrote on his Facebook post.<\/span><\/p>\n
