The Omanhen of the Oguaa Traditional Area, Osabarima Kwesi Atta II, has extended an open "invitation to US President Barack Obama for another visit anytime because he has been offered a home" in Oguaa.
"We extend an open invitation to your comeback, gain and again. We offer you a home in Oguaa and Ghana," he said.
The Oguaa Omanhen, who hosted the US First Family, said to commemorate President Obama's visit, the people of Oguaa had agreed to name a street after him and his wife, Michelle.
"In recognition of your limited time with us, my message for you this morning is a short one. In the name of all the people of Ghana and especially those of the Central Region, and on my own behalf, I welcome you both as representatives of the larger family away from the continent," he said.
He indicated that had time permitted, the University of Cape Coast would have conferred prestigious honorary degrees on President Obama and his wife and added that that offer was available at their convenience. "We hope it will not be too long," he said.
"You may experience shock, pain, loss and other emotions that defy words. You may recognise this as a site that speaks to courage, resistance and the triumph of our survival.
"This is a necessary visit and an important reminder of our past, explanation for our present and pointer to the future.
"But along and beyond the unspeakable emotions, remain the connections and bridges that we must restore as a matter of urgency.
"Despite distance, time and current circumstances, our commonalties are too obvious to ignore," he said.
