Okyenhene

Okyenhene is the title of the Tribal King of Akyem Abuakwa (also styled Okyeman), an old traditional kingdom in the Eastern Region of Ghana.

The Okyenhene is also referred to as the Kwaebibiremhene as his traditional territory is an area of a dense forest.

Asona is the largest of the clans of the Akans which includes the Oyoko, Aduana, Agona, Asakyire, Bretuo, Ekuona among others.

On the death of an Okyenhene, it is mandatory for all Asona Chiefs in Ghana to partake in the royal burial dubbed "doteyie" and funeral also called "Odupon ayie".

The current Okyenhene, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin II ascended the Okyeman Ofori Panin stool on October 4, 1999 after the death of his predecessor Osagyefuo Kuntunkununku II.
