A group calling itself the Concerned Youth of Kwabeng in the Eastern Region has dismissed the perception that the Okyeman Gyaasehene, Daasebre Anyimadu Kantamantu II, is an alien.
According to the group, Daasebre Anyimadu Kantamantu II is well-acquainted with the people of Kwabengman, making such assertions baseless.
The Concerned Youth’s statement follows a challenge to the legitimacy of Daasebre Anyimadu Kantamantu II at a press conference held on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, by the Concerned Citizens of Kwabeng.
However, the Concerned Youth have disregarded these concerns and emphasized that the traditional ruler was rightfully and legally installed as Kwabenghene and has ruled for the past seven years.
Convener of the Concerned Youth, Nana Osei Tutu Kwabeng, in his justification, explained that former Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice William Atuguba, had ruled the installation of Daasebre Anyimadu Kantamantu as Kwabenghene as ‘legal’.
“If Daasebre Anyimadu Kantamantu II was an alien, Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin wouldn’t have added him to the delegation he dispatched to Kumasi to represent him at the Asantehene’s mother’s funeral,” he emphatically added in a counter-press conference.
He further underscored the peace and harmony among residents in the community, stressing that engaging in chieftaincy disputes is not a habit of the youth.
Nana Osei Tutu used the opportunity to invite residents of Kwabeng, both home and abroad, to embrace the forthcoming maiden community durbar slated for Friday, October 17, to help solicit funds for Kwabeng’s development.
“Kwabenghene’s first-ever royal durbar will be peaceful, and we are poised to support him in developing the community,” Osei Tutu assured in his call.
