Using position

The Asantehene indicated his profound respect and love for the aheneyere. “Your position as wives of Nananom is an honour so use it affectively. I will continue to give you the needed respect as our wives. There are a lot of issues before me to address so try and deal with your petty family issues internally,” he told them.
Commendation
