Otumfuo finally speaks; meets Stars in SA
Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has publicly
spoken for the first time in weeks, frittering off
rumours that he was very sick and perhaps dead.

The Asante Monarch broke his silence when he met
the local Black Stars in South Africa today
(Saturday) ahead of their game with Libya in the
CHAN tournament finals.

Otumfuo urged the Stars to go all out to beat the
Libyans and bring the trophy home.

The local Black Stars beat Nigeria by 4-1 in the
semi-finals through penalties to secure a date
with the Libyans.




Otumfuo, who has been in South Africa for a few
weeks said he had to be in that country for a
routine medical checkup.

He said he also needed to go on a holiday and
denied rumours that he was seriously ill.

Rumours of the Monarch's death were replete on
social media last week, prompting a response from
the Manhyia palace.

Despite the denial of the rumour by the Manhyia
palace, residents of Kumasi said they would be
rest assured only after hearing the Otumfuo
speak.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II says he will be among the
Spectators to watch the game later today as the
Stars clash with the Libyans.
