Thank You For Helping To Renovate My Palace – Oguaamanhene Thanks Bawumia

The Oguaa Traditional Council has extended its appreciation to Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for his significant contribution towards the renovation of the Oguaamanhene’s Palace in Cape Coast. The restoration project, aimed at giving the palace a fresh look, was completed in time for the 60th Anniversary celebrations of the Fetu Afahye festival.

Osabarima Kwesi Atta II, Omanhene of the Oguaa Traditional Area, expressed gratitude to Dr. Bawumia, noting that the Vice President’s support was instrumental in returning the palace to its former grandeur. The palace, a symbol of the Oguaa people’s cultural heritage, now boasts traditional architectural elements, reflecting the rich history of Cape Coast.

The Fetu Afahye festival, which has been celebrated annually for the past 60 years, is a significant cultural event for the Oguaa people.
