The Representative of the Asante Akim North Education Directorate, President and Executives of TTAG-ASHBA, Distinguished Guests, Students, Ladies and Gentlemen; I welcome you all to this important gathering of young and budding academics, leaders and drivers of our future educational system. As I said in my welcome address, I appear before you this morning to represent the OMANHENE of Agogo Traditional Area, Nana Akuoko Sarpong who could not make it to this program since he had to attend an equally important programme elsewhere.

OTUMFUO OSEI TUTU EXPRESS WORRY OVER POWER OUTAGES IN ASHANTI REGION

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is worried about the recent power outages in the Ashanti Region. Speaking during a courtesy call on him by the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Asantehene said the intermittent power outages had destroyed his electrical appliances. “I have been experiencing power outages recently.

In the autumn of his life, he looks back on his life and declares that “I am fulfilled.” Sitting on his throne as Omanhene of Agogo, he is at pains to announce that “I am not in competition with anybody. As a lawyer, I scored some remarkable landmark cases. I entered politics but it is over. I’ve been in Parliament, I have been a Minister. In 46 years as chief, I have served my people well.” By 1972/1974, the trajectory of young Sarpong’s life projected nothing less than a roaring career at the Bar. With an LLB (1963) and called to the Bar in 1965, he had shot to fame on the back of the famous Twinkle J case in Cape Coast. By 1974, he had put up what, even by 2021 standards, qualifies to be called a mansion within the Airport Residential Area in Accra. Sarpong wanted badly to be an MP, having cut his political teeth working with ...
