The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who also serves as the Grand Patron of the Grand Lodge of Ghana, has expressed his satisfaction with his 25-year membership in Freemasonry.

"Twenty-five years ago, I was initiated into Freemasonry. There is no doubt that in joining a society or club, one cannot help but wonder what benefit or restrictions await," Otumfuo Osei Tutu II said.
"In the case of Freemasonry, you are left to worryingly wonder more without knowing exactly what you are going to face and with no one ready to tell you what you want to know."
Despite these initial uncertainties, the Asantehene affirmed his positive experience.

"Whatever doubts or reservations might have crossed my mind, all I can say after the 25 years is that I have no regrets about being a Freemason, experiencing what it unfolds and what it means to be called a Freemason," he stated.
Looking forward, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II emphasised his commitment to making Freemasonry beneficial to Ghana and its citizens while promoting peace.
He expressed optimism about the future growth of the Grand Lodge, highlighting the importance of dedicated members who will provide relief to the needy and uphold truthfulness.
