Back Agonahene With Your Spirit – Otumfuo to Agonahemaa

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, has charged Agonahemaa Nana Acheampomaa Ntansa Yiadom II to support the new Paramount Chief with her spirit.

Her unwavering support, Otumfuo said, is essential to strengthen the new traditional leader.

Otumfuo also counselled Obiri Komfo Anokye Boakye II, Agonahene, on the strategic and crucial nature of his stool to Asanteman.

Granting his request to swear an oath of allegiance, His Majesty stated that he occupies no ordinary stool.

“You will now oversee the rules that hold together the 77 laws of Asanteman… I have the soul of Asanteman, and I have it because you, Komfo Anokye, gave it to me. You hold a crucial position which should not be trivialised,” he said.

Otumfuo also cautioned him to be circumspect in his dealings.

“The position is not one for luxury. You are Komfo Anokye, and you cannot engage in all things. Neither can you go anywhere at will.”

Training
His Majesty further committed to personally taking him through the requisite lessons and training to equip him for his mandate.

Once completed, His Majesty stated that Asanteman will observe its first Odwira festival in decades.

“Once you are fully equipped with the needed power, together with your mother, the Agonahemaa, we will observe Odwira. That will be one of your first assignments.”

To Agonahemaa Nana Acheampomaa Ntansa Yiadom II, His Majesty charged her to back him with her spirit.

After taking his oath, he committed to being at the beck and call of the Occupant of the Golden Stool.

Obiri Komfo Anokye Boakye II succeeds Nana Frimpong Anokye Ababio, who passed away in 2022.
