Do you sit when you visit me? - Otumfuo jovially 'chides' Justin Frimpong Kodua at Manhyia

The king of the Ashanti Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, during a visit by the board members of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), playfully chided the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, over his choice for sitting position.

As the meeting progressed, Kodua was seen sitting among the GNPC board members, a decision that the Asantehene humorously addressed.

He playfully directed Kodua to stand beside his (Asantehene's) messengers, who were already standing nearby.

"Today, my son is seated; do you normally sit when you visit me? Or did you think that accompanying the board members entitled you to a seat? Come and stand next to me, where you usually stand," Otumfuo remarked in a video shared by GhOne TV on their X page.

Kodua, with a radiant smile, promptly rose to join the king's messengers, positioning himself among them, with his hands clasped behind his back.

Further into the visit, the Asantehene encouraged the GNPC delegation to diligently ensure that the organization excels in fulfilling its national responsibilities.

"I encourage you to collaborate effectively so that the enterprise may prosper. I implore you to maintain unity among yourselves to achieve success," he counseled.
