Brotherly love
He recalled how the Ga Mantse spent about a week in Kumasi joining him for his 25th anniversary celebrations. “So when I went to Accra, I decided to go and extend my felicitations. He received us with a beautiful event. I enjoyed it very much and didn’t even want to leave,” Otumfuo stated.

Otumfuo noted that, the developments exemplified brotherly love. “It’s all love. I pray to God it grows to procreate unity so we live in harmony and understanding. When we unite, Ghana will taste peace and development. We will do exploits in unity. Let’s unite and make it beautiful,” he added.

Presentation of cheque
The Asantehene presented a cheque for GHc500,000 to the Ga Mantse in honour of the commitment he made to support the education of Ga youth through the Ga Mantse Foundation.

Courtesy Call

When Otumfuo was marking his 25th Anniversary Nii Ga came to support. After that Otumfuo came with Asanteman to Accra and was given a warm reception with a durbar. We came to thank Otumfuo for having his back. We also thank Otumfuo for the commitment he made towards the Ga Mantse Foundation.”
