Former Kotoko CEO sworn-in as Banatamahene

It was an all Kotoko affair when the Life Patron of the club Otumfuo Osei Tutu II sworn-in former club chairman Sylvester Owusu Asare as the new Banatamahene at the Manhyia Palace on Monday.

His stool name is Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI.

Asare Owusu has succeeded Baffour Asare Owusu Amankwatia V who died in 2015.

He is remembered for his role in the signing of Charles Taylor from arch-rivals Hearts of Oak and winning the league in 2003- the first in ten years.

The astute businessman who owes Silver FM, a new radio station in Kumasi is likely to use his stool influence as well as his closeness to Manhyia to support Asante Kotoko as he is not only a former CEO, but a staunch fan.
