General News of Friday, 5 April 2019Source: todaygh.comHow Kwaku Dua ascended Asante throneOtumfuo Osei Tutu II is also known as Nana Barima Kwaku DuaOtumfuo Osei Tutu II, known in private life as Nana Barima Kwaku Dua, is marking his 20th anniversary as the Asantehene and occupant of the Golden Stool. Akwasi Agyemang’s inability to ascend to the throne was a big blow to him. As part of his punishment, the revolutionary soldiers forced Akwasi Agyemang to carry human waste in a bucket in public. When it became apparent that Kweku Dua was going to be the next ruler of the Asante, Akwasi Agyemang reportedly tried to overturn the events. Defeat to the NDC in the 2000 election effectively ended Akwasi Agyemang’s influence and for 20 years, Kwaku Dua has ruled effectively and successfully as Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
