Aduana family rejects 'breakaway' claim, reaffirms loyalty to Okyenhene
The Aduana family rejects a "purported breakaway by the Odau group from the Akyem Abuakwa State." The principal elders and kingmakers of the Aduana family in Etwereso and Osenase urged family members and all Ghanaians to disregard the breakaway. At a press conference held in Etwereso, Opanyin Kwabena Aniagyei, Head of the Aduana family in Osenase, reaffirmed the family's "unbridled allegiance" to the Ofori Panin Stool and the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin.
The family described an earlier press conference held by a section of individuals in Etwereso as fraudulent, claiming they are mostly not from Akyem. The group had reportedly declared Odau an independent state. According to the elders, the spokesperson who made the declaration, Osei Afrifa, is not a member of the Aduana family. Opanyin Aniagyei said, "Their declaration is fraudulent. That guy is an imposter. Osei Afrifa is from Asante Juaso, and he is not a member or an elder of the Aduana family." The family further alleged that Mr. Afrifa is being used to create division and that "Akyem Abuakwa existed in the 1300s, centuries before Odau came."
Opanyin Aniagyei indicated that the family will soon decide on the fate of the Etweresohene over what they described as his "treasonable conduct."
