Activities at Techiman in the Brong Ahafo Region virtually came to a standstill when the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, accompanied by a retinue of chiefs and servants, stormed the place yesterday.

The convoy of Asantehene caused massive vehicular and human traffic in Techiman, as enthusiastic people from all walks of life quickly moved to the roadside just to catch a glimpse of Otumfuo, who was dressed in a black cloth.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu and his high-powered delegation, which included prominent traditional rulers from Asanteman, were graciously welcomed at the Techimanhene's palace, amid pomp and pageantry.

The Techimanhene, Oseadeeyo Ameyaw Akumfi IV, warmly received the Asantehene in the midst of the constant blowing of traditional horns and the singing of traditional tunes.

Otumfuo and Techimanhene had a hearty chat and exchanged pleasantries.

Oseadeeyo Akumfi Ameyaw IV sent his elders to present a cattle, traditional drinks, 200 tubers of yam to Otumfuo.

The Asantehene also ordered his elders to present drinks to the Techimanhene.

A linguist of the Techimanhene, Nana Owusu Ansah, lauded Otumfuo Osei Tutu II for his wisdom and foresight, stressing that indeed the Asantehene truly deserves the title 'King Solomon.'

He stated that Otumfuo's visit to Techiman clearly showed that indeed he was truly peace-loving, appealing to Otumfuo to visit Techiman every month.
