Royal welcome to Nana Yaa Akyaa II: 15th Asantehemaa

One joins the people of Ashanti, particularly all the queen mothers and the women in general, to extend a warm Akwaaba to Nana Yaa Akyaa II, the 15th Asantehemaa to the Ashanti stool.

A bit of research done shows that Nana Yaa Akyaa is a first cousin of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and the late Queen Mother, Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom III.

As Asantehemaa, Nana Yaa Akyaa II has become the new spiritual and cultural mother of the people of Ashanti, a position considered one of the highest traditional institutions in the country.
