Ashantifest: Top NPP Executive Vows to Report Frank Amoakohene to Otumfuo, Details Emerge

• Paul Yandoh has vowed to report the newly appointed regional minister for the Ashanti Region to Otumfuo
• In an interview, he opined that the decision by the regional minister to organise a festival was not right
• He concluded by urging him to focus on matters of pressing concern to the region instead of meddling in issues that do not concern him

Ashanti Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Yandoh, has taken issue with the initiative by the Ashanti Regional Minister to hold an event dubbed Ashantifest.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on TikTok, the NPP bigwig, who was speaking in an interview, said the move by the Ashanti Regional Minister and his cohorts to organise such an event was an act of disrespect towards the traditional rulers in the region.

He explained that Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II was not in the country, and thus wondered who gave the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, the authority to organise the event.

Paul Yandoh, who sounded angry, lashed out at the Ashanti Regional Minister, accusing him of arrogating powers unto himself.

He has therefore vowed to report the Ashanti Regional Minister to the Asantehene as soon as he returns from his trip abroad and urged him to focus on pressing issues troubling the region.

The Ashantifest began on April 15, with hundreds gathering at the Centre for National Culture to celebrate Asante heritage and culture.

The reception so far for the Ashantifest has been positive and well-received by the people of the Ashanti Region.
