According to him, the Queen Mother’s wise counsel touched generations and left an indelible mark on the nation.
“She was, without a doubt, a majestic pillar of strength and inspiration not only to the Manhyia Palace and the Asanteman but to the entire nation.”
He further opined that the leadership and example of the late female traditional ruler were particularly significant for women in Asanteman and across Ghana.
“Throughout her 8-year reign, she embodied the true essence of Asante values, maintaining tradition with steadfast dedication and projecting an image of dignity and peace. Her wise counsel and astute guidance were invaluable. She was truly an inspiration and a worthy role model, particularly for the women of Asanteman and Ghana at large,” the tribute read.
