Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, 2012 presidential candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) had a nice time in Kumasi recently after attending a thanksgiving service.
The service was in memory of the late Akomferehene and Madam Abena Kufuor respectively.
The two dignitaries drove in the Otumfuo�s Rolls Royce from the Manhyia Palace through some principal streets of the Ashanti Regional capital ending up at the St. Anne�s Anglican Church at Ashanti New Town where the service was held.
It was a moment of fanfare as Kumasi residents massed up on the streets to catch a glimpse of the two powerful men.
There was also spontaneous jubilation when they arrived at the church to ask for God�s blessings for the departed.
The church then invited the Otumfuo and Nana Akufo-Addo for a communion after which they were blessed by the officiating ministers.
After the service, they drove back to Manhyia Palace where the two had closed-door discussions.
According to sources, the discussion centred on the political tension currently in the country partly as a result of the ongoing Presidential Election Petition at the Supreme Court.
