Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, during the celebration of the final Awukudae Festival of 2024 on November 20, shared insights into why successful Asante men often marry women from the Fante tribe.
Drawing from his personal experiences to illustrate his point, Otumfuo narrated that his uncle, with whom he lived during his youth, was married to a Fante woman who was an exceptional cook.
The Asantehene recounted this experience during an interaction with representatives of the Fante community in the Ashanti Region, who were present to represent the Oguaamanhene of the Oguaa Traditional Area in the Central Region, Osabarima Kwesi Atta.
According to Otumfuo, his uncle’s wife played a pivotal role in their upbringing by ensuring they were well-fed with delicious meals.
