This official announcement makes the earlier speculations circulating on social media that he had resigned as false.
Baffour Asiedu Bekoe has, therefore, returned his local gin to the Abontendomhene of Kyebi, Osabarima Marfo Kwabrane, as a sign demoting himself officially from his post as Akwansrahene on March 4, 2025.
Baffour Asiedu Bekoe was enstooled as the Akwansrahene of Akyem Abuakwa traditional area on April 15, 2021, by the overlord of Akyem Abuakwa, His Royal Majesty, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panyin.
His duty of protecting the lands of Akyem Abuakwa spanned from New Jejeti to Nsawam Adoagyiri. Other towns include Asamankese and Adeiso in the Upper West Akyem municipality and Suhum.

He thanks Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panyin for the opportunity he gave him (Baffour Asiedu Bekoe) and served under his Royal Majesty. He promises to avail himself to run errands as and when he needs his help.
