A heartwarming moment unfolded at Kotoka International Airport as two of Ghana’s most revered figures, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, shared a candid, joy-filled exchange that has since captivated the nation.
The Asantehene had just arrived in Accra to attend the graduation ceremony of his son, Oheneba Nana Kwame Kyeretwie, when he was met by the charismatic founder of Christian Action Faith Ministries.
What followed was more than a mere greeting, it was a moment of mutual respect, cultural pride, and spiritual affirmation.
As Duncan-Williams approached the Asantehene’s vehicle, Otumfuo’s face lit up with a smile that spoke volumes.
The two men engaged in cheerful banter, their laughter echoing the warmth of their bond. But it was the Archbishop’s words that struck a deeper chord: “African Kings deɛ, Nyame ne w’adi ni yie”—translated as “Of all the African kings, God has favoured you.”
He followed with “Wo gyina wo nan so,” a phrase that drew hearty laughter from the King himself.
This wasn’t just a viral moment, it was a reminder of the spiritual and cultural threads that bind Ghana’s leadership and faith communities.
Duncan-Williams’ tribute wasn’t scripted; it was a spontaneous acknowledgment of divine favor and traditional authority, delivered with sincerity and reverence.
Social media erupted with admiration. Many praised the Asantehene’s humility and the Archbishop’s boldness in publicly affirming God’s role in leadership. Others saw it as a powerful symbol of unity between Ghana’s spiritual and traditional pillars.
As the Asantehene’s vehicle pulled away, the brief encounter left behind more than smiles, it left a message: that leadership, when anchored in faith and humility, resonates far beyond titles and thrones.
