People are watching you. We don\u2019t want anyone to discuss this issue again. Everyone should cease fire,\u201d Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI stated.<\/p>\n<p>He also rebuked the Kokoso chief for indulging in active partisan politics, urging him to choose between being a chief and a politician.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a chief you are to remain neutral so that all the political parties can approach you with their issues,\u201d he noted and added that if the Kokosohene had not attended the NPP vetting \u201cthis whole brouhaha wouldn\u2019t have happened in the first place. So quit partisan politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bantamahene also admonished politicians to give maximum respect to traditional leaders, reminding them that chiefs play important roles in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antoa Date<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, credible sources at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi said the chiefs have fixed this coming Thursday as the day for Wontumi\u2019s curse on the Kokosohene to be revoked.<\/p>\n<p>According to them, some chiefs have been selected to accompany Wontumi and the Kokosohene to the \u2018Antoa Nyamaa\u2019 river for the necessary rites to be performed in order to revoke the curse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FROM I.F.
