Otumfuo @75: Asantehene Delights as Queenmother Gives Him a Golden Gift on His Birthday

• Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II beamed with excitement as he received a golden gift from one of his queenmothers
• The gift was to honour the monarch for his exemplary leadership and dedication as ruler of the Ashanti Kingdom
• Netizens who saw the video of the queenmother presenting the gift to Otumfuo expressed varying reactions

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II was honoured by one of the queenmothers in the Ashanti Kingdom as he celebrated turning 75 on May 6, 2025.

To celebrate him, a birthday party was held for him on May 8. Before the event, he received a beautiful gift from a queenmother.

The beautiful queenmother, who is in charge of Manso Nkwanta, presented a beautiful gift to the revered King.

She confidently approached him at a gathering and handed over a box containing a beautiful brooch, which had been carved in the form of a medal.

Reports indicated that the gift was made of gold. The King could not hold back his excitement as he received the gift and smiled appreciatively at his queenmother.

Another beautiful scene unfolded when the queenmother instructed a servant in the Kingdom to hand over the gifts to one of the Otumfuo's elders.

The young man who accompanied the queenmother to present the gifts knelt before the King with the box. It seems he missed an instruction and nearly exited the scene with the gifts.

This prompted the Manso Nkwantahemaa to instruct him to leave the gifts with one of Otumfuo's elders. The incident tickled the King, leaving him to show his soft side by laughing.

The TikTik video showing the gift handover is below:

Otumfuo shows compassion, clears a man's debt

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Otumfuo had rescued a man who was brought to the Manhyia Palace after committing a minor offence.

The man was required to pay an amount of money, but the Asante monarch, realising he could not pay up, humourously dismissed the fine.

Netizens who saw the video of Otumfuo's actions were touched and expressed their views in the comments section of the trending post.
