Otumfuo At 25: E ON 3 Group, key partners still celebrating ‘Pillar of Peace’

E ON 3 Group and its key partners are using the peace initiatives of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to celebrate him on the silver jubilee of his coronation.

Recognized as “Pillar of Peace”, His Majesty has undertaken several peace initiatives cutting across politics, education and chieftaincy over the past 25 years, and the E ON 3 Group and its key partners deem it fit to continue to project the successes.

Activities

The Executive Chairman of E ON 3 Group, Richard Adjei Mensah Ofori Atta, said several activities have been planned to propagate the good works of the King.

“We will erect billboards and produce a documentary on Otumfuo’s peace initiatives.”

Peace

Mr Ofori Atta called for peace before the 2024 elections, saying that is what the Asantehene has always advocated for.

Handling difficult political transitions

Key among Otumfuo’s peace initiatives were the facilitation and mediation of difficult political transitions.

These manifested in the 2000, 2008,2012 and 2016 elections where he played various roles to calm tensions and ensure peaceful transitions.

Dagbon crisis

Otumfuo led the Committee of Eminent Chiefs to restore peace to Dagbon after many years of a bloody chieftaincy dispute.

The dispute settlement and other peace initiatives won the Asantehene the award of Pillar of Peace at the maiden African Premier Leadership Awards Ceremony in Kumasi on December 29, 2019.

Also on December 12, 2021, E ON 3 Group, upon the authorization of the Bank of Ghana, teamed up with its partners to launch the Otumfuo Commemorative Gold Coin, to celebrate the King on his Dagbon peace success.

After the launch, the 24-carat Gold coin was presented to several personalities and institutions.

The first recipient was KGL Group, which bought the first coin during the launch, followed by Otumfuo himself.

I share gold coin honour with all Ghanaians

On December 20, 2021, a delegation from the E ON 3 Group and its partners was at the Manhyia Palace to present the gold coin to Otumfuo.

Otumfuo said, “The commemorative Gold coin is an honour I share with my country Ghana.”

Otumfuo said since he ascended the Golden Stool, he has not concentrated his peace initiatives in only Asanteman but has ensured that the entire country benefitted from every step that he took for peace to thrive.
