Otumfuo Osei Tutu II <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has been given the right to be
\nreferred to as an old student of Prempeh College in Kumasi.<\/p>\n

The decision was unanimously taken by the authorities of the school during
\nthe 70th<\/sup> anniversary and speech and prize-giving day celebrations of
\nthe school on Saturday.<\/p>\n

This means that old students of Prempeh College, including former President
\nKufuor, can now call Otumfuo as \u2018Senior\u2019, as Prempeh College old students are affectionately
\nreferred to.<\/p>\n

The decision was taken after the Asantehene had shared an interesting
\nstory during the climax of the 70th<\/sup> anniversary of the school in
\nKumasi on Saturday about how he narrowly missed out from becoming a student of
\nPrempeh College in 1964. <\/p>\n

Telling his story, Otumfuo said 55 years ago, he was a teenager who
\nhad sat the Common Entrance Examination and passed, with Prempeh College as his
\nchosen school.<\/p>\n

He said he then visited Prempeh College with his uncle, Oheneba
\nMensah Bonsu, to pick his prospectus to enable him to prepare to start
\nsecondary education.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started to buy my clothes and other needed items to start school
\nat Prempeh College just to be told in August that I am no longer going to
\nPrempeh College. I was rather sent to Sefwi-Wiawso Secondary School to start my
\nsecondary education. This means that I also would have become \u2018Amanfuo\u2019 or
\n\u2018Senior\u2019 now,\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n

The Asante Monarch said he was supposed to be a \u2018Senior\u2019 or \u2018Amanfuo\u2019
\nas all Prempeh old students are referred to, so \u201cI deserve to be honoured as
\nsuch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beaming with smiles, Otumfuo said he was looking for the day when
\nformer President Kufuor and Mamponghene Daasebre Osei
\nBonsu, who are alumni of Prempeh College, would call him \u2018Senior\u2019.<\/p>\n

Minutes after the Asantehene had concluded his emotional story, the
\nentire school, including the board, management and students, agreed to make him
\nan old student of Prempeh College.<\/p>\n

Right in the presence of President Akufo-Addo and former President
\nKufuor, the board and management of the school conferred on Otumfuo the
\n\u2018Senior\u2019 title.<\/p>\n
