The attire of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, became a notable highlight as he presented the Bawku mediation report to President John Mahama.
Otumfuo was clad in the “Akunin Ntoma”, a revered traditional cloth associated with elderhood, wisdom, and nobility in Akan culture.
The cloth is typically worn by respected leaders and elders during moments that require deep reflection, sound judgement, and moral authority.
The choice of the Akunin Ntoma is widely seen as symbolic, reflecting the gravity of the Bawku mediation assignment and the delicate nature of the peace efforts being undertaken.
It also underscored Otumfuo’s role as a neutral and seasoned statesman entrusted with guiding dialogue and reconciliation among the parties involved.
In traditional settings, the Akunin Ntoma conveys calm leadership, maturity, and responsibility.
These are values considered essential in conflict resolution.
Otumfuo’s appearance in the cloth therefore reinforced the message of wisdom and restraint as the nation awaits lasting solutions to the Bawku conflict.
