The ceremony was marked by the elevation of several chiefs, notably the youthful Nwinsohene, Baffuor Yeboah Osei Hwedie II, to the distinguished rank of Obrempong. Enstooled on 14 April 2025 as Chief of Nwinso, Baffuor Yeboah Osei Hwedie II has, within less than a year, earned commendation for his dedication and tangible contributions to the Akyem Kotoku State. He expressed confidence in the chief’s readiness to defend and advance the cause of Akyem Kotoku with utmost dedication. That the honour was bestowed on Baffuor Osei Hwedie II less than a year after his enstoolment underscores the significance of his contributions and the confidence reposed in him. His elevation not only recognises past achievements but also signals heightened expectations as he assumes greater responsibility within the traditional leadership of Akyem Kotoku.
