The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, yesterday made history by storming the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Area in a beautiful Kente cloth which is 83 years old.
The ancient cloth which is sublime was first worn by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Prempeh I during the restoration of the Asante Confederacy in 1935.
The Asantehene was in the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional area at the invitation of the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin as the special guest of honour at a grand durbar of chiefs and people.
The durbar was organized to mark the 75th anniversary of the death of the late Okyenhene, Nana Ofori Atta I.
