Nana Oguahyia Oduro-Panin Birikorang, the Chief of New Edubiase in the Adansi South District of Ashanti region has destooled Nana Amoako Tuffour, chief of Abedwum as his three-year reign has come to an end.
Professor Joseph Amoako Tuffour, is a revered Ghanaian economist, and a Secretary to the National Economic Management Team chaired by the Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (Npp) Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia.
He was distooled at the Omanhene’s palace on Tuesday, August 13.
The dethronement of Nana Amoako Tuffour follows allegations of his disrespectful attitudes towards Nananom.
Additionally, he faced accusations of orchestrating destoolments of some sub chiefs under his jurisdiction.
Before sworing in as Abedwumhene, he shrugged off suggestions that his political career would interfere in his chieftaincy duties, he was adamant that his political career won’t be an impediment in his way as he was poised to serve Ghana and his subjects.
But according to Edubiasehene, Nana Amoako Tuffour has refused to honor his oath.
Speaking at his palace, Nana Oguahyia Oduro-Panin Birikorang revealed that, Nana Amoako Tuffour is never a member of the Royal family.
Explaining further, Edubiasehene added that, Nana Amoako Tuffour has dishonored his invitations for 14 times.
He therefore urged Nananom to restore powers to the sub chiefs who were distoolled by Nana Amoako Tuffour.
He also instructed Nananom to seize every property owned by the community, but being possessed by the dethroned chief.
