Otumfuo celebrates Awukudae Festival in the UK
YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that the revered Asante Monarch, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, once marked Awukudae Festival away from home.
As in past years, he was expected to celebrate the occasion with his people in the Ashanti Region, but could not due to an important engagement abroad.
Despite being out of the country, scenes from London showed him observing the festival in grand style with his team, just as he would in Ghana.
