Freemasons from across Ghana and beyond are set to convene in Kumasi this weekend to commemorate two significant milestones for Otumfuo Osei Tutu II: his 25th anniversary on the Golden Stool and his 25th anniversary as a Freemason.
Additionally, the event will mark the 15th anniversary of the Grand Lodge of Ghana.
The celebration, scheduled to be held at the Sir Agyemang Prempeh II Masonic Hall, will honor Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who serves as the Grand Patron of the Grand Lodge of Ghana.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II ascended to the Golden Stool in 1999 and has been a steadfast supporter of Freemasonry throughout his reign. Following the formal Masonic ceremony, festivities will continue at the Jubilee Hall in Manhyia, fostering a sense of unity and brotherhood among attendees.
Established on January 24, 2009, the Grand Lodge of Ghana serves as a “Sovereign Masonic Body.”
The Grand Lodge of Ghana oversees a significant number of subordinate lodges and is organized into four provincial Grand Lodges: South West (Cape Coast), South East (Accra), North (Kumasi), and East (Lome & Volta). The United Grand Lodge of England was the first to recognize the newly constituted Grand Lodge of Ghana.
Most Worshipful Brother Charles William Stanley-Pierre was installed as the inaugural Grand Master, succeeded by Most Worshipful Brother Otwasuom Osae Nyampong VI in 2013, and Most Worshipful Brother N/Capt Kwadjo Adunkwa Butah in 2017.
