The Mayor of Kumasi, Kojo Bonsu has apologised to the traditional authorities in Kumasi following days of intense pressure and calls for his dismissal.
He rendered an unqualified apology to the Asantehene Otumfour Osei Tutu II and Nananom for what he described as “actions and inactions on my part, which may have incurred their displeasure.”
The Traditional Council has demanded the removal of Mr Kojo Bonsu for allegedly grossly disrespecting them.
In a three-paragraph statement, the Kumasi Mayor said, “I have taken notice of concerns raised by Nananom of the Kumasi Traditional Council over recent developments in the metropolis.
“I wish to render an unqualified apology to Asantehene Otumfour Osei Tutu II and Nananom for any actions and inactions on my part, which may have incurred their displeasure.
“Since assuming office as the Metropolitan Chief Executive of Kumasi, I have enjoyed tremendous support and cooperation from Nananom. Together, we have developed a healthy working relationship as stakeholders in the collective pursuit of the development, peace and progress of the Kumasi Metropolis. I shall therefore continue to cherish my relationship with Nananom and take all the necessary traditional steps to repair and protect same.”
