No shame in apologizing to Manhyia – Odike, Oyerepa told

An Elder in politics in the Ashanti Region has told Odike and Oyerepa FM, that there is no humiliation in apologizing to the Kumasi Traditional Council and Manhyia.

Ambassador Daniel Ohene Agyekum says contrary opinions that Odike could be disgraced when he goes to apologize to Nanaom is unfounded.

The Elder, who himself was once summoned by Manhyia over some comment he is purported to have made, suggested to Ultimate 106.9 FM that the process of engaging the chiefs must be done with remorse and in a decorous manner.

The former minister was however surprised that the allusion of Nananom appeared before with an empty hand, a situation that sent wrong signals.

‘‘I hear they went there with empty hands to beg, ah, who does that, he retorted’’

‘There are process and a procedure, you don’t just appear there to apologize, you go to Nanaom with schnapps, goats, sheep, etc’’

‘‘You don’t go there and present any type of goat or sheep, it must be fat-laden goats or sheep, befitting the traditional authorities, not just any goat or sheep at all’’

‘‘we have different sizes of sheep or goats, the biggest one is what you present to Manhyia’s and the small one’’

He urged Odike to desist from media engagement and come out of his hide and visit Nananom to apologize for his indiscretion.

‘‘Odike must go with the Staff and management of Oyerepa, to apologize, it was wrong for the management to go alone to apologize’’

‘’Is true Odike was given the platform by the station but he committed the offense for which the station is also been implicated, they should go together’’

He says Mr. Odike’s attempt to suggest that, unless the banishment of Kumasi Traditional Council is nullified before he can appear before the council to apologize is not here nor there.

‘‘ I head, Mr. Odike says unless the banishment is reversed he doesn’t feel comfortable to go there, that is not the process of purification by the chiefs, he has to first go there and beg for forgiveness by the traditional authorities and if they see reason in it will revoke whatever curses that has happened’’

‘‘You haven’t visited Nananom, how then do you expect them to forgive you over the wrongs you have exhibited to them. You can’t be given clemency just like that’’

Ambassador Ohene Agyekum, says just like the courts, you can’t sit in your home, that because you have been charged by the courts you will not appear before them.

‘‘even in the legal system, you need to be at the courts to explain your case out before charges against you are carried through or dropped’’

‘‘claims that he (Odike ), will be attacked when he steps foot in Manhyia is not founded, he can go with the management of Oyerepa, as a form of security, because they will have the numbers and nobody will attack him’’
