The Asanteman Zongo Nkosuohene, Sarki Abdullai Ali Barry, has lauded the virtues and prudent leadership of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, for blending divine wisdom, knowledge, education and tradition to reshape the chieftaincy institution, not only in Ghana but across the globe.
By this singular initiative, Sarki Ali Barry, noted that the Ashanti Overlord has put the Ashanti Kingdom on a higher pedestal from its previous position.
The Asanteman Zongo Nkosuohene described Opemsuo Osei Tutu variously as a stabilising force, a great national asset and a mentor to all and sundry, adding his uniqueness and splendor, should make every Ghanaian proud.
Sarki Ali Barry was speaking to a section of the media at the Prempeh I International Airport in Kumasi, on Tuesday, August 13, 2024 on his arrival from the United Kingdom, where he accompanied His Royal Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, to London for the maiden celebration of the Special Akwasidae festival, in commemoration of his 25th anniversary on the Golden Stool.
The Zongo Nkosuohene, a proud member of Otumfuo’s delegation, said “Otumfuo has genuinely and passionately held the people of Ashanti Kingdom and Ghana together, as evidenced in the rich Ashanti and Ghanaian culture in London to the admiration of both blacks and whites.”
He said the London event has fostered unity among Ghanaians and the outside world and strengthened bilateral relations among nations, noting that the desire of world leaders to visit Ghana is an ample testimony of Otumfuo as a symbol of peace.
He commended the Asantehene for ultimately and holistically changing the face of the chieftaincy institution to a new facet and averred that posterity will forever be grateful to him.
Sarki Ali Barry has pledged to continue to promote and contribute to the development of the Zongo communities in the Ashanti Region, the role assigned to him by Otumfuo.
