Head of State and Community Priest Nana Afi Enyo presided over the sacred ceremony, enstooling King Oba Kweku Amen Ra as leader. 

The occasion also marked the installation of two district Chiefs, their Queens, Queen Mothers, and Father of Fathers, along with the establishment of the foundational nation groups M.O.T.H.E.R.S. and F.A.T.H.E.R.S., and the canonization of two living Saints.
