On Saturday, May 25, Freemasons from Ghana and other parts of West Africa and the world met to honour the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who is the Grand Patron of the Grand Lodge of Ghana.
They gathered to pay tribute to the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, known in the Grand Lodge as Most Worshipful Bro Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
The event was held to commemorate two significant milestones of the Asantehene; his 25th anniversary on the Golden Stool and his 25th anniversary as a Freemason.
The occasion also marked the 15th anniversary of the Grand Lodge of Ghana.
Held at the Bro Otumfuo Sir Agyemang Prempeh II Masonic Hall, members of the fraternal organisation paid homage to the Grand Patron and participated in Masonic ceremonies.
They were dressed in their traditional Masonic attire, notably wearing aprons and gloves – a unique theme among most Freemasons.
Among the members participating in the event were the National Security Minister, Albert Kan-Dapaah, Transport Minister Kweku Ofori Asiamah, Executive Chairman of Ghana Community Network Services Limited (GCNet) Dr. Nortey Omaboe, and others who are all part of the fraternal society.
Also present were current Grand Master, Most Worshipful Bro Nana Osei Atwene Bonsu, Most Worshipful Bro Otwasuom Osae Nyampong VI, Most Worshipful Bro N/Capt Kwadjo Adunkwa Butah and Bro Nana Kwaku Boateng III, Omanhene of New Juaben.
The ceremony was attended by brethren from various grand lodges including the Grand Lodge of Liberia, led by MWB Anthony W. Deline, United Grand Lodge of England, represented by Most Worshipful Bro Charles William Stanley-Pierre and Grand Master designate of the Grand Lodge in Nigeria, High Chief Osiobe Eric Okotie.
