President John Dramani Mahama has paid glowing tribute to the late Asantehemaa, Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom III, describing her as a source of inspiration and a majestic pillar of strength for both the Ashanti Kingdom and Ghana.
Delivering a tribute on behalf of the President at the funeral rites in Kumasi, on Thursday, September 18, the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, said the late Queen Mother’s wise counsel touched generations and left an indelible mark on the nation.
“She was, without a doubt, a majestic pillar of strength and inspiration not only to the Manhyia Palace and the Asanteman, but to the entire nation,” he said.
The President’s tribute highlighted Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom III’s eight-year reign, during which she embodied Asante values, upheld tradition, and promoted peace and dignity.
According to him, the late Asante queen mother’s leadership, guidance, and example were particularly significant for women in Asanteman and across Ghana.
“Throughout her 8-year reign, she embodied the true essence of Asante values, maintaining tradition with steadfast dedication and projecting an image of dignity and peace. Her wise counsel and astute guidance were invaluable. She was truly an inspiration and a worthy role model, particularly for the women of Asanteman and Ghana at large.
“Her devotion to service and unwavering commitment to the welfare of all people were truly unmatched. Asanteman and Ghana will always remember the lasting impact she made, which undoubtedly will motivate future generations,” he remarked.
The late Asantehemaa, sister of the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is being laid to rest with elaborate rites in Kumasi, attracting dignitaries, chiefs, political leaders, and mourners from across the country.
