A Chinese man, Sun Qiang, who was enstooled as the Nkosuohene of Asenyanso Village at Afram Plains has rejected his chieftaincy title.
Sun Qiang rejected the title of Nkosuohene following the anger expressed towards the chiefs and people of Kwahu Abetifi by some persons who felt aggrieved by his enstoolment.
His spokesperson, Baba Issah, speaking at a press conference condemned the negative reactions of the general public towards the enstoolment of Mr Qiang.
He, however, noted that despite his denouncement, Mr Qiang will still remain committed to the development of the area.
“He is thankful to all of you for the opportunity. However, today, what he’s saying to Ghanaians and the world is that he is no more interested in the chieftaincy title. He came for development, and so he is dissociating himself from the title.
“The development of Afram Agya is a priority to him and so he still remains focused to the development of the area. He is, therefore, appealing to everyone who is interested in farming to come to the area and do so in order to create employment for the youth and people of the area,” Mr Issah said.
The Ghanaian social media community expressed their dissatisfaction towards the Chiefs and people of Kwahu Abetifi for enstooling a Chinese man as Chief in their area.
News went rife on social media that a Chinese national named SUN QIANG has been enstooled as the development chief (Nkosuohene) at Kwahu Abetifi, a town in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
The enstoolment ceremony took place on 5th September 2020. A grand durbar was organized at the Kwawu Abetifi Palace to commemorate this special day.
The Chinese man owing to his enstoolment as the development chief (Nkosuohene) was given the Ghanaian name(a Traditional stool name), Barima Kofi Ayeboafo.
