Nii Tackie Kommey, Spokesperson for His Royal Majesty Nii Tackie Adama Latse II, one of the claimants to the Ga Royal Paramount Stool has denied allegations that King Tackie Adama Latse II has intended to join the traditional camp of his rival King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, known in private life as Dr Kelvin Nii Tackie.
"God forbid, l want to repeat it again, l saying that God forbid, this intended merger between Adama Latse and Kelvin Nii Tackie would happen over our dead bodies. I am using this opportunity to tell the general public, particularly the citizens in the Ga state that whoever is telling them that our Ga legitimate Manste, King Tackie Adama Latse II has decided to join the camp of King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, it means that that person is really telling them the lies.
"It is because this is not true, and that Adama Latse is still a Ga Mantse who is currently performing his numerous traditional duties and responsibilities although his rival King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II and his kinsmen with support of the former Public Affairs Director of the Ghana Police Service, DCOP Kwesi Ofori have forcibly removed Adama Latse and his people from the Ga Mantse Stool House and allowed King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II and his kinsmen to take over the stool House.
"...but in case if it is time for Adama Latse to perform his necessary traditional rites and duties, many of his accredited elders, priests, priestesses and principal kingmakers joined him to carry out such important traditions and customs in the Ga state," Honourable Commey set the record straight.
The remark's of Honourable Commey who doubles as the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Odododiodo Constituency of the Greater Accra Region statement was in reaction to the viral allegations that Adama Latse is making a move to spoke peace pipe with King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II since Ga state is preparing to ban drumming and noise making activities in Accra towards this year's annual Homowo festival.
This news outlet gathered that Adama Latse is preparing to join King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II to celebrate this Homowo festival, but in a quick rebuttal, Honourable Commey has rubbished the allegations.
Honourable Commey who is a royal citizen of the Tackie-Komey We stressed that per the traditions and customs of Ga it really means that all the customs, rituals and duties that Tackie Teiko Tsuru II was performing as Ga Mantse were traditionally unlawful and illegal because he has not swore oath of allegiance.
Traditionally and customarily, he indicated that Tackie Teiko Tsuru II was not accepted by the forefathers and ancestors of the Ga State because his chieftaincy status is very questionable.
The Ga Mantse Spokesperson restated that the legitimate Ga Mantse was Boni Tackie Adama Latse II, who was nominated, elected and enstooled in accordance with the customs, traditions, conventions and usages of the Ga State in 2011.
According to him, the Ga Mantse was gazetted and his name was entered into the National Register of Chiefs in 2015, only to be illegally removed by the National House of Chiefs on September 30, 2021.
But the Honourable Commey said the High Court in Kumasi on November 11, 2021, ordered the immediate restoration of the name of Boni Nii Tackie Adama Latse II into the National Register of Chiefs.
“I am therefore drawing the attention of the public to the fact that Boni Tackie Adama Latse II, is the legitimate Ga Mantse,” stressed.
“King Tackie Adama Latse II, the Ga Mantse, was nominated, elected and enstooled Ga Mantse to succeed the late Boni Nii Amugi in accordance with customs, traditions, conventions and usages of the Ga state in 2011.
Giving the historical facts with the support of Court judgements and valid family background records to back his claim that it is not turned of Dr Kelvin Nii Tackie to be installed as a Ga Mantse, the royal citizen of Ga State indicated that the then acting President of the Ga Traditional Council, Nii Dodoo Nsaki II, forwarded King Tackie Adama Latse II’s Chieftaincy Declaration Forms to the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs at Dodowa for onward submission to the National House of Chiefs in Kumasi.
He said “King Tackie Adama Latse II, after his registration in 2015, has been the Ga Mantse and a member of the Grater Accra Regional House of Chiefs residing in the Ga Mantse Palace until 2017” when the Ga Mantse Palace was closed and he was prevented from entering the palace.
The spokesperson provillded documentary proof to back his claim that on October 20, 2017, armed policemen and soldiers from the regional security council led by DCOP Kwesi Ofori removed Adama Latse who is Ga Mantse from the Ga Royal Stool House and planted Dr Kelvin Tackie in the house.
Honourable Commey who dared Dr Kelvin Tackie to challenge him stressed that Dr Kelvin Tackie had earlier been vetted and rejected by the Ga Paramount Stool Dzase in preference for King Tackie Adama Latse II.
“We have been battling the authorities of the Greater Accra Region since October 20, 2017 to have the Ga Mantse’s Palace and the Stool House re-opened to allow him to perform his functions as Ga Mantse and President of the Ga Traditional Council until Saturday, May 9, 2020 when the regional minister had his choice of Ga Mantse purportedly installed. As law-abiding citizens, we would take appropriate action,” he reaffirmed.
He called on the citizens of the Ga state to remain calm, saying that the accredited elders and principal kingmakers of four ruling Houses of the Ga State–Amugi We, Teiko Tsuru We, Abola-Piam and Tackie-Komey We are using legal means and ways to ensure that King Tackie Adama Latse II reoccupy Ga Mantse’s Palace and the Stool House.
He stressed that "King Tackie Adama Latse II is a very peaceful man.
"We the stakesholders of the Ga Traditional Area want peace and unity and that we don't want chieftaincy fight and bloodshed in Ga State like what has occurred in Dagbon Traditional Area in the Northern Region of Ghana," he stated.
To this end, he called on the general public to accord chieftaincy respect to King Tackie Adama Latse II since he is legitimate heir to the throne and that he had since Saturday June 11, 2011 been acknowledged as the legitimate Ga Mantse.
He further stressed that the the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) government had hand in the installation of King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, adding “indeed government does so, but was quick to state that the current government has no capacity to determine who is Ga Mantse.
