Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) member, Alan Kyerematen, has commended Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the King of the Asante Kingdom, for his significant contributions and the honour he has continually brought to his people.<\/p>\n

He pointed out the King\u2019s prominence during Prince Charles\u2019 coronation and stated, \u201cYou witnessed the remarkable prominence he received when interacting with heads of states and nations. Asanteman must truly recognize its immense value and significance. The special attention he received during the coronation highlights this.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview on Opemsuo Radio\u2019s Nkwantannanso with Kofi Boakye, he extended his prayers for God\u2019s blessings and good health to be bestowed upon Otumfuo.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Alan praised Otumfuo\u2019s wisdom and leadership, noting that even former President John Agyekum Kufuor frequently sought the counsel of the King.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wisdom bestowed upon him by God has played a role in resolving crucial issues. This wisdom was particularly evident during President Kufuor\u2019s era when Otumfuo\u2019s counsel was sought to leverage his connections for effective solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

He recounted his personal experience during his tenure as Minister of Trade and Industry, citing the challenges faced with the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, during my tenure when we were launching the AFCTA, we encountered several challenges. In those moments of difficulty, we reached out to Otumfuo for assistance. He generously invited the relevant stakeholders to Kumasi, which not only helped us qualify but also secured the headquarters for us. His contribution was indispensable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alan Kyerematen\u2019s words of admiration for Otumfuo Osei Tutu serve as a testament to the King\u2019s significant influence and contributions, not only to Asanteman but to the nation of Ghana as a whole.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
