In his words, Otumfuo is a “genuine friend”.
“You are a discerning friend. I have realized this all this while we have been friends, but it has been affirmed even more today. You are a genuine friend. God bless you.”
In his speech at the Climax of the 60th Anniversary celebration of the Oguaa Fetu Festival and his 25th Anniversary celebration, he imagined what their bond could achieve and proposed they give it a shot.
