Addressing the visiting Nigerian monarch on Thursday, April 23, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II described their leadership as divinely ordained, with a shared responsibility to uplift Africa and strengthen cultural bonds across the continent.
The Ga Mantse used the opportunity to mention the peaceful coexistence of the Ga and Asante people. He mentioned the historic 1831 treaty and extended warm regards to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, through the Olu of Warri.
"You came to fulfil a mandate, 76 years after an Asantehene last visited the Ga State. The treaty signed in 1831 established peaceful coexistence between the Ga State, the Asante State and other states. Today, we are witnessing that the bond was renewed because I took the step to visit him, and he has taken an even bigger step by coming here. He has come here to strengthen those bonds," he said.
In his response, the Olu of Warri said he was honoured to officially meet with the Ga Mantse for the first time, even though he has been travelling to Ghana often for almost 20 years.
Ogiame Atuwatse III committed to strengthening the ties between the Warri Kingdom and the Ga State.
"I am trying to contain the joy, the honour that I feel being here. It is a pleasure to be here. I am very, very delighted on behalf of the Olu of Warri, myself, and the chiefs who have accompanied me," he said.
The Olu of Warri was accompanied by Queen Consort Olori Atuwatse III.
