275 Buses: Touch Freddie Blay and see what will happen - NPP Man to Volta Chiefs

Freddie Blay is National Chairman of the NPP

A Former First Vice Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ellembelle Constituency of the Western Region, Mr. Michael Mensah popularly known as Teacher Michael has warned that chiefs in the Volta Region would risk counter-attacks if they dare launch an attack on National Chairman of the party, Mr. Freddie Blay.

His comment follows the declaration of Freddie Blay as an 'unwanted' person in the Region by the Asogli Traditional Council.

On Wednesday, August 15, 2018, the NPP National Chairman, Freddie Blay was declared 'unwanted' in the Volta Region by the Asogli Traditional Council made up of 33 traditional areas in the Region.

This follows Mr Blay's failure to apologise after he reportedly slighted Togbe Afede XIV, President of the Asogli Traditional Council and the National House of Chiefs.

The Traditional Council, at a news conference addressed by Togbe Koku Ayim V, Paramount Chief of Ziavi, described the conduct of Mr Blay as "gross misbehaviour," and that the Council could not guarantee his safety in the Region".

The Council said Mr Blay had "unfairly misjudged, unjustifiably employed misguided statements and intentionally insulted the integrity and personality of Togbe Afede," though he married from the Traditional Council.

Togbe Ayim said the "insults are indirect attacks on chiefs of Eweland," particularly when calls by recognised bodies for apology went unheeded. Commenting on the Asogli Traditional Council warning to Freddie Blay on social media Friday, August 17, the NPP activist said if they attack Freddie Blay in Volta Region then they will also revenge on the Ewes in Nzema.

He opined that Mr. Freddie Blay doesn't owe anybody apology and will never apologize to anybody.

"They should go to hell. No apologies will be rendered. Chiefs are not supposed to do politics. You accused someone of corruption and when you are replied you say you are a chief and so what?" he wrote.

He added that Freddie Blay is also a royal and could be installed as a chief but due to his political career.

"Which is more grievous? Accusing someone of being CORRUPT and saying what you said is a palm wine seller talk? Freddy BLAY is also a royal. Had it not been politics, he would have been enstooled as a CHIEF OF SUPOM DUNKWA", he emphasized.

He, therefore urged Togbe Afede to seek compensation in court if felt unhappy and stop threatening Freddie Blay and added Freddie Blay is also a breadwinner for people in the country especially some youth in the Volta Region.
