The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has explained that God stopped the rains on Thursday afternoon during the funeral of her late mother, Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II at the Manhyia Palace.
According to him, on Thursday afternoon it rained heavily across Kumasi, with the exception of the Manhyia Palace, where the grand funeral of the late Asantehemaa was taking place.
He disclosed that it finally rained at the Manhyia Palace on Thursday evening after thousands of mourners, including President Akufo-Addo and vice President Dr. Bawumia, had left the venue.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II stated categorically that God caused the great miracle to happen at the Manhyia Palace on Thursday afternoon so that late Asantehema’s funeral, which attracted scores of mourners, would not be disrupted.
“It rained heavily all over Kumasi on Thursday afternoon but Manhyia Palace, where the Asantehemaa’s funeral rites were taking place was spared, this miracle was caused by God. It was not done by a human being.
“God wanted the Asantehemaa, who was my biological mother, to have a befitting funeral that is why he stopped the rains in the afternoon and only opened up the heavens in the evening when the funeral rites were over.”
This was contained in brief speech, which was read his behalf by the Asante Juaben Paramount Chief and Council of State Chairman, Nana Otuo Serebuo, at the St. Cyprians Anglican Church on Sunday during the Thanksgiving Service for the late Asantehemaa, Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II.
It was attended by dignataires such as the Speaker of Parliament, Prof Mike Oquaye and Alban Bagbin.
Otumfuo Osei also thanked Ghanaians, especially President Akufo-Addo, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, ex-President JA Kufuor, ex-President John Mahama and ex-First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings for their support.
He also commended the various bodies and groups in the country that trooped to the Manhyia Palace in their numbers which made the grand funeral of Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II succesful.
The Asantehene also thanked the media for extensively covering the funeral so far, adding that residents of Kumasi also deserve praise for complying with a curfew on Saturday night.
The church service was characterized by the singing of Gospel tunes and dancing.
The various men of God that were present prayed fervently for Otumfuo, the Asante Royal family and Ghanaians in general.

God is awesome. for all those 'rubbishing' God's work in this instance, I pray for forgiveness and a change of heart for you
You are talking out of envy; u possibly come from where a king is not honoured or a leader is held ordinary. Get education here: With GOD all things are possible! there are millions of events and phenomenon that the learned can explain. Beside knowing that not all things are covered by or in science is in itself education. you are rather shallow and see things from only one dimension. Are u telling me that if there was that occurence it was because manhyia palace climate was different from the other parts of Kumasi?get the meteo guys for some info. One more thing that you need is dat a leader of a group can't be insulted this way. you talk about ancestral link and i got the feeling that u possibly know urs. Are u allowed by your ancestors to insult 'chiefs'? Pls if you have education u would have known that u may be tracked and punished. Just be careful cos Iam sure you cant provide evidence for ur allegations.
Ok
@sankofa or whatever you call yourself, check your english before you label someone as"uneducated". if you want to see who's uneducated here,then you need to be looking through the mirror.God deserves every glory because He's GOD!!!
What occured in Kumasi has nothing to do with God besides we all believe in God but God does not favour some people because they were born by accident of birth;WHY IS THE GHANAIAN MINDSET SO DILUTED WITH MIRACLES BESIDES THINGS CAN BE EXPLAINED BY EVERYDAY CLIMATE CHANGE; WHY SHOULD AN EDUCATED PERSON LIKE THE ASHANTEHENE FALL FOR THIS NUNSENSES MIRACLE FROM GOD; WHERE WAS GOD WHEN THESE CHILDREN WERE DYING AT THE KUMASI ACADEMY -GHANAIANS SHOULD GET UP AND THINK .
If you don't believe in God its your own problem. Enjoy your life without God.
WhAT A JOKE !!!!!AND CHIEF PROPAGANDA by this CLUELESS CHIEF ; so it did not rain in a particular area in Kumasi or the Mahyia palace so this self aggrandising Ashantehene thinks it is the works God ; WHAT A LOAD OF DILUTED FAECES FROM AN EDUCATED ASHANTI CHIEF ;a very confused chief who does not understand his ancestry but thinks been a chief means display of culture ; a person who follows the English freemason like a slave and does not understand the consequence of such club ; what this full should understand is that God does not intervene in the patterns of rainfall or climate change anyehere; neither has man any control over anything ; he should read Nana Adddos speech at the UN otherwise God would have intervened in many rainfalls that have caused death and havoc to many a people around the world ; what makes this idiotic thiff and a mistake chief think that because of the final funeral of his mother who is so important to God there should be rain fall to disturb other people but the spares Mahyia Palace ; WHAT A FULL !!!!!; the truth is that the this Ashante Chief is an arrogant Chief who does not care about his people but prefers sitting in state for people to come and greet him in public besides who cares whether the Ashantihene's mother is dead because every body cherioses their mother ; mine is simple the Ashantihen shopuld rather spend his time rennovating the hospitals in Kumasi and build clinics whe people have no access to medical care rather than display these gold ornaments to build BECAUSE FRANKLY MOST PEOPLE DO NOT GIVE A HOOOOOT OR FOOKOOOOOOOO !!!!!
We serve a God of miracles
