Her Royal Highness, Nana Afua Nketiaa Obuo II, the Queenmother of the Akuapem Traditional Area, will hold a press conference at the International Press Centre in Accra tomorrow, accompanied by her elders from Akropong-Akuapem.
Although the specific agenda has not been disclosed, the Queenmother’s office has described the event as “urgent and of high importance” to the governance of the Akuapem Traditional Area, particularly in light of the upcoming Odwira Festival.
Sources close to the palace say the Queenmother will be joined by senior traditional leaders, signaling that critical issues concerning the Akuapem stool and traditional administration may be addressed.
The rare convening of a press conference by the Okuapehemaa underscores the gravity of recent developments within the traditional setup.
As the maternal custodian of the Ofori Kuma Heritage and, by Akan matrilineal custom, a central figure in the selection of the Okuapehene, her pronouncements are expected to carry significant weight.
Observers believe tomorrow’s press briefing could provide clarity on unfolding matters within the Akuapem Traditional Area.
