The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, visited former President John Agyekum Kufuor at his residence in Aburi, Eastern Region, while travelling to Accra to begin his three-region tour. His stopover was to check on the former President, who had not been feeling well.
Invitations
Otumfuo’s linguist, Baffour Kantankrakyi, spoke of the weight of the Asantehene’s office and said the King had some time ago received and accepted invitations to events in Accra.
He explained that the time had come for the Asantehene to honour those invitations and that he could not have made the trip without first stopping to see his uncle.
Kufuor welcomes King
Former President Kufuor welcomed His Majesty and expressed his delight at hosting him. He thanked God for bringing the Asantehene and noted that the King had heard some time ago that he had been unwell. He also expressed gratitude for travelling mercies and said all those present had come specifically to welcome the King.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is undertaking a one-week tour of the Greater Accra, Central and Eastern Regions. He is scheduled to visit the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), where he will attend its anniversary celebration, and visit the Bank of Ghana, Mfantsipim School and Takoradi Technical University.
