Enstooled on April 22, 2004, by the Kade Aduana I Royal Stool, the chief announced his resignation during a gathering of his subordinates on October 22, 2025.
While many believed the meeting was convened to mark the celebration of Awukudae, the chief instead used the occasion to disclose his decision to abdicate the stool, a move that comes amidst longstanding resistance from some of his subordinates.
“I was enstooled as the chief of Aduana I stool of Kade in April 2004. I would not want to tout the concrete developments I engineered in that sacred office. My tumultuous reign is well known and I thank God, I survived it all. I have decided to abdicate the stool after twenty – one (21) years of being its occupant with the singular purpose that those who actively undermined my reign can now come together and seek the development and prosperity of Kademan and Okyeman”, he stated.
