Contrary to the newspaper and online publications which purports opposition to Nii Nortey Adumuah’s nomination to the KKMA appointment, the Osu Stool Council has released a statement to render their “full and unblemished support” to the Osu Osiahene(Nii Nortey Adumuah IV).
The Osu Stool Council is the traditional council leaders of the four divisions or quarters of Osu state.
Osu Amantra/Kinkawe Dzaase in full support:
From the online article, it alleges that the Osu Kinkwanwe Dzaase opposes his nomination, with the opposition attributed to one Tetteyfio who styles himself as Nii Saban Atsen VII. It is interesting to note that Nii Nortey Adumuah IV is an integral member of the Osu Amantra/Kinkanwe Dzaase, and enjoys the full support of other members of Dzaase. It is rather this Saban Atsen who has pulled away from the Dzaase and purports to act unilaterally, which is against the norms of the Dzaase, a collective and democratic body.
Background to Nii Osiahene IV
Nii Nortey Adumuah – Osiahene has been an advocate for youth and entrepreneurship in the Osu traditional area, which should be commended and lauded for a traditional leader. Not only does he have companies that employ youth and teach them skills, but he also invests in the start-up business of youth across the Osu state. This is what we as a Council would want from all our members. This is the kind of personality we want representing us.
Additionally, Nii Adumuah has been a chief advocate and champion of education within the traditional area. He has served on the educational subcommittee of the council and worked with the council to implement various academic and scholastic projects in the last three years. This is the kind of experience and foresight that as a council, would like him as our representative to bring to the table in support of the municipal assembly.
Nii Nortey Adumuah is unchallenged in his position as Osiahene and enjoys the full support of his clan, the Adjuwate clan of Osu. He has dignified himself in this position and has stood for the truth and defended it all the time. For these unquestionable qualities, he has made alliances through many traditional areas in this country. This would have a meaningful and positive impact on Osu.
The statement further stressed that “the Osu Traditional Council roundly rejects the persons suggested in the newspaper and online articles. The so-called suggested nominees have been publicly and customarily destooled. whiles the other is currently in court being sued by their respective clans they claim to represent.
“In normal times, Nii Nortey Adumuah as Osiahene IV to the paramount stool of Osu and therefore in charge of palace administration and act as a chief in absence of a substantive. is too high for such a position. However, as we are bereft of more fitting candidates, and due to a need to expedite Osu’s development, he has distinguished himself so we give him our unwavering support as a nominee for the KKMA position”, they stressed.
