“Today, as we unveil the commemorative stamps dedicated to His Majesty’s reign, we affirm our commitment to innovation and excellence in preserving our nation’s stories and delivering them to the world,” he said.

He said the stamps addressed an extension among ages and a demonstration of the persevering through tradition of the Ashanti Kingdom. The new stamps exemplifies Ghana Post’s commitment to observing Ghana’s rich legacy and guaranteeing that it was loved both at home and abroad.

The Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, also said the significance of the launch of the Anniversary stamps couldn’t be lost on anybody as it was to praise “the enduring legacy through tradition of a visionary chief whose effect on our country has been striking.

“Today, we pay tribute to you for your enduring legacy, your Royal Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II,” she said.

According to Hon. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Ghana Post had throughout the long term recognized the impact of past Asantehenes in the promotion of the nation, and honored critical achievements in the Ashanti Kingdom and held hands to celebrate and exalt some heritages.

“This commemorative stamp, is therefore, a reflection of our national pride and identity, and serves as a reminder of the inextricable link between our traditional values and our wild anticipations, reminding us that our rich cultural heritage is the foundation on which our nation’s future is built,” she noted.

She said the stamp was a portrayal of the permanent imprint Otumfuo had left on the texture of the country. She said for quite a long time, the Asantehene had been at the front, advancing schooling, protecting the country’s rich cultural legacy, and inspiring the financial prosperity of individuals.

“I dare say, no pivotal decision has been taken by any of our leaders within these 25 years without his input”, she said.

The minister commended the Ghana Post board and management for their dedication to preserving the country’s cultural heritage through the introduction of commemorative stamps.

“Let these stamps and this collection, which I think every one should buy and keep and pass on to the next generation, be a testament to the immutable spirit of our forefathers; a symbol of resilience and a reminder that our roots are the foundations on which our future is built”, she added.

Dasebere Osei Bonsu II, Mamponghene, on behalf of the Asantehene, thanked Ghana Post and the various organizations that purchased the auctioned stamps for the honor bestowed upon Otumfuo through the Anniversary stamps.
