Asantehene Pays Visit to Former Prez Kufuor
The King of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has paid a visit to former President John Agyekum Kufuor at his residence at Aburi in the Eastern Region.
The visit on November 10, 2026, took place while Asantehene was en route to the Greater Accra Region to kickstart his tri-regional educational tour.
At the residence, His Majesty received homage from some guests who had gathered there.
The visit was an opportunity to check on the wellbeing of H.E. Kufuor.
Conveying the mission of the visit, Otumfuo Kyeame Baffour Kantankrakyi said: “You know the weight of the office of the Asantehene. Some time ago, His Majesty received an invitation to come for some events here in Accra and accepted them.
“The time is due to honour those invitations and he could not have come without passing through to see his uncle.”
The former president welcomed the Occupant of the Golden Stool.
In his remarks, he expressed his delight at hosting the King.
“We thank God for bringing him. He heard I was not feeling well a while ago. We thank God for the travelling mercies. All the people here came purposely to welcome you.”
President Kufuor ruled Ghana from January 2001 to January 2009.
Otumfuo is embarking on a one-week tour of the Greater Accra, Central and Eastern Regions.
He will visit the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), the Bank of Ghana, Mfantsipim School and Takoradi Technical University.
