Netizens celebrate Otumfuo
Social media users who took to the video's comments section praised Otumfuo for his decision to celebrate the New Year in Nigeria with his good friend, Esama of Benin Kingdom, Sir (Dr.) Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion.
AJQUEEN stated:
"These are some of the reason Asantehene doesn’t pay attention to the ranting, bcos to him if he responds, it’s demeaning to his entire personality and what he stands for or how the world will see him."
Mr. B.B wrote:
"NDA is hosting some Odikro and just look at who's hosting Otumfour. in fact the gab between Otumfour and that of Dormaahene is from my hometown (yeji) in Bono east region to New York city in USA."
kwame Amponsah added:
"When Otumfour travels outside Ghana ,the respect and honor doesn’t go to the Ashanti’s only but Ghana as a whole. If we choose love , Ghana can be better."
Asante Barima added:
"Real recognized real.. This is the real table of Kings."
full"Signal wrote:
"I like the Benin King a lot, he looks older but saluted Otumfuor and look at the chair he gave Otumfuor and rather sat on the smaller one. God bless Him and give him long life for his Humility."
