Details on why Rev. Obofour changed his name from Asanteman Bofour

Otumfour Osei Tutu II - Reverend Obofour Otumfour Osei Tutu II - Reverend Obofour

One of the most famous pastors in Ghana for the pastor 3 years is Pastor Kwaku Agyei Antwi popularly known as Reverend Obofour.

Reverend Obofour is the founder and general overseer of the Anointed Palace Chapel. He has branches both in Accra and in Kumasi; two of the biggest regional capitals in Ghana.

When Obofour started, he was known by the nickname, Obimpe. He was working in the same district assembly with Bishop Daniel Obinim.

Because they were friends, Obofour revealed their visitors were conflicting with the names, Obimpe and Obinim. So they sat down and decided to change the name.

Since Obinim was already a big pastor in Ghana, Obimpe decided to change his name to Asanteman Bofour meaning the Angel of Asante Kingdom.

But after a while and the name Asanteman Bofour became popular, the Asanteman Traditional Council heard about it.

Ghpage.com can confidently confirm Pastor Kwaku Agyei Antwi was summoned to the Manhyia Palace to explain the meaning of the name, Asanteman Bofour.

Obofour in good faith responded to the summon to Manhyia Palace to meet with the chiefs and the overload of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfour Osei Tutu II to explain who made him the Obofour (Angel) of the Asantes.

Obofour was made to compensate for falsely claiming himself the protector of the Asantes. He was only left to go after he vowed to Manhyia to changed the name Asanteman Bofour
