Kwame Baffoe Abronye, the New Patriotic Party’s Bono Regional Chairman, found himself in an unexpected situation when a queen mother from the Bono Region brought him to his knees in what has become a viral moment on social media. Known for his outspoken and assertive personality, Abronye experienced what many are calling his “smoothness level” moment, when his usual toughness seemed to fade before the authority of the queen mother.
In a 35-second video shared by Angel FM Kumasi on Facebook, Abronye is first seen greeting the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, in a warm and respectful manner. However, the tone shifts when he approaches the queen mother seated beside the Dormaahene.
As Abronye stretched out his hand to greet the queen mother while still standing, she refused the handshake and, with a firm gesture, ordered him to kneel. Abronye complied, kneeling before her. Although the words exchanged between them were not clearly audible, the queen mother seemed to offer stern advice or a rebuke as she finally extended her hand to him.
Social media users have been buzzing about the video, calling it a humbling moment for Abronye, who is typically seen as bold and commanding in public. The interaction has sparked discussions, with many interpreting the queen mother’s gesture as a reminder of traditional authority and respect, especially in the presence of elders and leaders.
The exact event where this occurred remains unclear, but the video has certainly added to the public’s curiosity, marking a rare moment where Abronye’s confident demeanor appeared subdued in the face of traditional customs.
