Lady Julia Osei Tutu, wife of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has paid a moving tribute to the late Asantehemaa, Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom III, describing her as a source of warmth and generosity.
Delivering her message during funeral rites in Kumasi on Thursday, Lady Julia expressed gratitude for the late Queen Mother’s mentorship and support in managing the affairs of the Asantehemaa’s household.
“I will dearly miss the experiences we shared and the affirmations you constantly showered me with,” she said, adding that she affectionately remembered the Asantehemaa as Kotokohemaa and obidombiɛ—a person of unmatched generosity.
The tribute was one of many delivered as chiefs, dignitaries, political leaders, and citizens gathered in Kumasi to honour the memory of Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom III, whose passing has been described as a great loss to the Ashanti Kingdom and the nation.
