It is unclear the reason for the meeting between the two but Starrfmonline.com sources they are to play together in a golf tournament in Kumasi.

The visit comes few weeks after the Asantehene vented publicly over attempts by some individuals close to President Akufo-Addo to create enmity between him and the Akyem people.
