The Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi is expected to fill to capacity today as thousands of Ghanaians and others from across the globe join in a grand durbar to climax festivities marking the 10th anniversary of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s entoolment as Asantehene.
Otumfuo is expected to make a grand entry to the stadium at 1030am, and already a good number of dignitaries are in town to join in the festivities.
