A letter signed by the Akwamuhene of the Council, Nana Kwaku Ababio to the Brong Ahafo branch of the party was emphatic, “we are sorry to inform you that the council cannot receive Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and is entourage...”
The impasse came about as a result of the derogatory remarks by the Regional Chairman of the NPP Mr. Asamoah Kyeremeh against the Chiefs.
