"As we approach our 20th anniversary of Asase Yaa, we are so excited to celebrate alongside our audiences and fervent supporters," said Kofi Osei Williams. "But we want to ensure that this sensational event also provides a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. This is possible only by postponing the festivities, which will be well worth the wait."
