Scores of people from all walks of life flocked the Dwabrem durbar ground of the Manhyia Palace as the 25th anniversary of the reign of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II came to a climax.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, his Vice, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia and wife Samira were among the top dignitaries that graced the occasion which coincided with the third Akwasidae festival on the Akan calendar.
Also in attendance were former President, John Agyekum Kufour and Dr. Keith Christopher Rowley, Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago who was the Special Guest of Honour plus a retinue of chiefs that paid homage to the Asantehene.
On full display were the rich cultures and traditions of the visiting chiefs that thrilled guests with their entries spiced with cultural dances and songs.
There were delegations from La Cote d’Ivoire, Niger, Nigeria, South Africa, Togo and Morocco.
Political parties were also represented.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu was born on May 6, 1950 and was the youngest of five children of the late queen mother of Asantemhemaa, Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II.
He was known in private life as Barima Kwaku Duah; he ascended the Golden Stool, the symbol of the spiritual power of the Asante Kingdom as the 16th Asantehene in direct succession to Opemsuo, Osei Tutu, the founder of the Asanteman, on April 26, 1999.
President Nana Akufo-Addo commended the Asantehene for his exemplary leadership.
The Asantehene called on the political parties and Ghanaians in general to be alert and not take anything for granted as the country geared up for another elections.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
