Executive Chairman of the KGL Group, Alex Apau Dadey, has lauded the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II for elevating the Ashanti Kingdom's global standing.

Mr Dadey commended the King's leadership, likening the kingdom's value to that of a highly lucrative stock on the international market.

Addressing a royal banquet attended by diplomats and industry leaders on the eve of Otumfuo's 25th anniversary durbar, Dadey hails the monarch's reign as a resounding success, both locally and internationally.

“if the Ashanti Kingdom was trading on the international stock markets, it would have been one of the most profitable stocks to buy.”

In addition to his role as Board Chairman of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Dadey acknowledges Otumfuo's pivotal role as a stabilizing force for Corporate Ghana, offering mentorship to numerous businesses.

He extended gratitude and congratulations to the King on behalf of Corporate Ghana.

Highlighting the KGL Group's pride in its association with the Ashanti Kingdom, Mr Dadey underscored collaborative efforts with Otumfuo, particularly in initiatives such as the Otumfuo’s Commemorative Gold Coin and corporate social responsibility endeavors.

Preceding Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's final address, notable statements are made by key dignitaries including Nana Otuo Siriboe II, Alex Apau Dadey, and Harriet Thompson, the British High Commissioner to Ghana.

Mr Thompson praises Otumfuo's unwavering commitment to the welfare of the Ashanti Kingdom and Ghana, expressing delight in celebrating his accomplishments and wishing him continued success for the future.

“Otumfuo has genuinely held the people of the Ashanti Kingdom and Ghana at heart, and this is seen in how much you have invested in education, protecting Ghana’s resources and the love that you show your people everyday.

“So, on this occasion, we would like to wish him well. He has been a great leader and for Corporate Ghana, a stabilising force. Corporate Ghana wants to say a big thank you and congratulations,” Mr. Dadey stated.
