All smiles as Asiedu Nketiah greets Akufo-Addo at Otumfuo @ 25 celebration

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was present at the fourth Akwasidae of 2024, held on Sunday, May 12, 2024, at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, marking the silver jubilee of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

A highlight for the public was when Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), took to the stage to greet the president.

Asiedu Nketiah, wearing a green Kente cloth, extended his hand to President Akufo-Addo, who was seated, with both figures sharing smiles.

On social media, some users commended the political leaders for setting aside their differences and sharing a moment together.

The event was attended by notable figures such as former President John Agyekum Kufuor, Chief of Staff Frema Akosua Opare, Second Lady Samira Bawumia, former First Lady Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings, and NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, among others.

Celebrities like Nana Ama McBrown, Mercy Asiedu, and Akwasi Boadi, known as Akrobeto, were also seen at the event.

The occasion, celebrated to commemorate the time the Golden Stool was magically brought down from the heavens, saw the sacred stool itself put on display, placed next to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, amid the traditions and cultures of the Akan people.
