Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II exchanging pleasantries with former President Akufo-Addo

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has paid a courtesy visit on former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at his residence at Nima.

In a video shared by Opemsuo on Facebook on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, elegantly adorned in colorful traditional kente regalia, arrived with his entourage and was warmly welcomed by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his wife, former First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo.

Akufo-Addo, who looked delighted by the Asantehene’s visit, greeted him warmly, saying “The king of kings,” prompting both men to burst into hearty laughter.

Additionally, he was ushered into the house, where he was greeted and welcomed by several former top government officials, including former Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare; Senior Advisor to the former president Albert Kan-Dapaah; former Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul; and Samuel Abu Jinapor, who previously served as Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, among other prominent personalities.

Otumfuo’s visit to the former president comes on the back of his courtesy call on President John Dramani Mahama at the Jubilee House on Monday, June 2, 2025, marking his first visit to the presidency since Mahama assumed office.

President Mahama described the visit as, “It is not just a ceremonial visit, but a strong affirmation of the enduring bond between traditional authority and the democratic governance of the republic.”
