Having arrived in the United Kingdom on July 13, 2024, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, celebrated the 5th Awukudae Festival in London on Wednesday, July 17, 2024.

Videos shared by Opemsuo Radio show the Asantehene sitting in state at his Henley residence, where he received subjects of Asanteman from across the UK who came to pay homage to the occupant of the Golden Stool.

In a short address, Otumfuo advised his subjects to eschew arrogance and embrace unity and humility as people who have traveled to live in a foreign land.

“Allow transparency in all things for truth and peace to prevail. I abhor arrogance; humility is what I stand for,” Otumfuo said.

Otumfuo is in the UK on the invitation of the British Museum. He is expected to deliver a lecture as part of his activities during the visit.
