    “She was my confidante” – Otumfuo mourns late Asantehemaa

    The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has paid a moving tribute to the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, describing her as a confidant whose counsel helped him navigate the burdens of kingship.

    In a message delivered on his behalf by the business magnate Sam Jonah at the Dɔte Yie (final funeral rites) of the late queen mother, the Asante monarch said she had been his most trusted adviser, offering guidance with a rare blend of maternal care and friendship.

    “For me personally, she was my confidante. In moments [when the] burdens of kingship pressed heavily upon [me], I could turn to her, not as the Asantehemaa, but as my sister, menua panin,” Otumfuo said.

    “She had the rare ability to speak to me as both a mother and a friend.”

    He praised her counsel, describing it as measured and rooted in deep experience.

    “Her words were never reckless, never shallow. They were words that came from a deep well of experience and wisdom,” Asantehene said.

    The solemn ceremony at Manhyia Palace in Kumasi drew many of Ghana’s most prominent political figures, including the former presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,.

    Also present were the vice-president, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, and the former vice-president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, both of whom joined the Asantehene to honour the late queen mother.
