The Newly enstooled Okuapehene Oseadeeyo Kwasi Akuffo II and his traditional entourage on Monday, May 12, 2020, visited Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin II at Ofori Panin Fie in Kyebi.
Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin commended Oseadeeyo Kwasi Akuffo II for the honor of visiting his ancestral home.
Okyenhene pledged the continuous support of Akyem Abuakwa to Okuapeman for mutual development in unity. He counseled Okuapehne to listen to wise advice from his elders.
Akyem Abuakwa and the people of Akropong are one family (Asona Royal Family). While the Okuapeman stool is referred to as Ofori Kuma that of Akyem Abuakwa is Ofori Panin.
Oseedeayo Kwasi Akuffo II becomes the ninth Chief to ascend the Ofori Kuma Stool. He is the youngest paramount Chief in Ghana so far.
The 34-year-old Okuapehene holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from the West Chester Community College, Val Halla, New York after completing his secondary school education at the Presbyterian Boys Senior High school, Legon in Accra.
All five Divisional Chiefs in Okuapeman also sworn oath of allegiance to the new Okuapehene on May 3, 2020, during his coronation and outdooring ceremony.
Continuity of traditional processes for his enstoolment started Friday, May 1, 2020, amid tight security following the nullification of nomination and enstoolment processes of Odehye Kwasi Akuffo by the Judicial Committee of the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs on Thursday, April 30, 2020.
The Okuapehene stool became vacant for almost five years after the demise of Oseadeeyo Addo Dankwah III due to disputes among the Sakyeabea Royal family over who is the legible candidate to succeed the late Chief who reigned for 41 years.
