According to Voice of Asanteman, the family ties between the Golden Stool and the Kufuor family run deep.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu I married Bempomaa, whose descendants reportedly include Kufuor and his siblings.

Prempeh II, a former Asantehene, also reportedly married Nana Akua Durowaa, the senior sister of Kufuor and his brother, former Defence Minister Kwame Addo-Kufuor.

Through these connections, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is regarded as both a father and a brother-in-law to the Kufuor family.

Despite this, the Asantehene affectionately addresses Kufuor as Wofa, meaning uncle, in their personal relationship. Kufuor was previously spotted at the wedding reception of Otumfuo’s niece in January 2023.
