The woes of the Member of Parliament for Atebubu/Amantin, Hon. Sanja Nanja, has deepened as the Amantin paramountcy has banned him from attending any social event in their area.
The paramount Chief of Amantin, another paramountcy in the Atebubu area, Nana Owusu Ababio II, has announced that he and his elders have also banned their legislator, who is finding ways of winning the hearts of his constituents after a first ban by the Atebubu Traditional Council.
The Chief has said his decision to ban the MP is in solidarity with the Atebubu Traditional Council following the insults the Legislator recently heaped on the Queemother of Atebubu on radio.
The Atebubu Traditional Council had accused the MP of being in contempt after he disrespected the queenmother Nana Afia Donyina, calling her a drunkard after she accused him of being behind a recent disturbance in the area.
Nana Kofi Amoakohene, the Akwamu Hene of Amantim who spoke on behalf of the Paramount Chief of Amantin emphasized that they back any decision arrived at by the Atebubu Traditional Council on Mr. Sanja Nanja.
“In fact we were not happy when we heard the issue. We needed to come and verify if indeed what we heard being said about the queen mother was true. Once we now know the truth, we support any decision taken against the MP. Atebubu and Amantin form one district, so if you insult the Atebubu Chief you also insult Amantin Chief as well.”
