Mr Mahama, in a brief speech, eulogized the Mamfehene for his high principles and integrity during his tenure as the Metro Mass Transit Board Chairman.

Preaching the sermon, renowned Evangelist Dr Lawrence Tetteh extolled the humility and service to humanity of the Mamfehene.

He added that truthfulness, God-fearing, and prayer make a great leader. He further added that a leader who doesn't pray is weak.

Osabarima Ansah Sasraku was sworn in as the Mamfehene and Akuapem Kyidomehene on August 18, 1997, at the ripe age of 32 years.

Known in private circles as Theophilus Nyanteh Akufo-Parry, he succeeded his late uncle, Nana Ababio Manteaw, just after completing his tertiary education at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

He is credited with the promotion of education in Akuapem as well as peace and unity in Okuapeman.
