Asantehene Celebrates 27th Enstoolment Anniversary with Executive Gala Focused on Peace and Economic Growth

On April 24, 2026, the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Jubilee Hall hosted a prestigious Executive Gala to commemorate the 27th enstoolment anniversary of the Asantehene. Organized by the Diaspora Affairs Office in collaboration with the E ON 3 Group, the event was themed "Advancing Peace & Sustainable Economic Development Through Royal Vision." The gala served as a high-profile tribute to the Asantehene’s nearly three decades of leadership, characterized by profound contributions to peace, conflict resolution, and sustainable development across Africa. The occasion drew an array of distinguished figures, including President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former President John Dramani Mahama, and the Special Guest of Honour, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.

A central highlight of the evening was the Asantehene’s commendation of Ghanaian business leadership, particularly Alex Appau Daddey, Chairman of the KGL Group. Otumfuo Osei Tutu II praised Mr. Daddey as a model of local entrepreneurship, citing his significant contributions to the nation's socio-economic fabric. Among the KGL Group’s achievements highlighted were the construction of a state-of-the-art mental health facility and a substantial tax contribution of GH₵153 million during the current year. The monarch underscored the importance of local businesses in driving national growth, urging others to draw inspiration from established figures like Sir Sam Jonah to uplift Ghana toward greater economic heights.

Beyond business, the gala celebrated the influential role of faith and community leadership in nation-building. The Asantehene honored Prophet Eric Uche Boahen, founder of Reign House Chapel, with a commemorative gold coin marking the 27th anniversary. The preacher was recognized for his transformative work in spiritual development and youth empowerment. This recognition underscored the event's broader narrative: that national progress is a multi-faceted endeavor requiring the collaborative efforts of traditional authorities, the private sector, and religious institutions to achieve lasting community transformation.

The "World-Meets-In-Ghana" Executive Dinner Ball ultimately reinforced the Asantehene’s vision of unity and collective responsibility. By bringing together political leaders across the spectrum, business moguls, and religious figures, the event manifested the peace and stability that Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has championed throughout his reign. As the gala concluded, the message remained clear: the synergy between traditional wisdom and modern innovation remains essential for Ghana’s continued prosperity and its standing on the global stage.
