The Okyenhene back to stool! – After taking the oath of allegiance he spoke to the people once more as Nana Ofori Atta II. His advice was to forget the evils of Nkrumaism and to work together again. When the National Liberation Council revoked the restriction order imposed on the ex-Omanene, known since his banishment as Mr Daniel Opoku Acheampiong, many people received the news with great joy. The State elders of the Akyem Abuakwa traditional area immediately set about plans to recall their former chief so that he could ascend once more the Okyeman Stool.
