Otumfuo makes historic visit to Cape Coast
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II had arrived safely in Cape Coast. The revered King honoured the Chief of Oguaa's invitation for the upcoming Oguaa Fetu Afahye.
Otumfuo was welcomed with a short but cute ceremony where a little girl presented him with some flowers after making some recitals, and a young boy also showcased his talent by waving a flag.
The much-anticipated Oguaa Fetu Afahye is scheduled for Saturday, September 7, 2024. It promises to be unique since the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, will be the guest speaker. Indigenes are eagerly anticipating the event.
