Nene Sakite II (born in Odumase) is the fifth and reigning Konor, or paramount chief, of the Manya Krobo, enstooled in 1999.[1][2][3] His predecessor was Azzu Mate Kole II, who ruled Manya Krobo from 1939 until his death in 1990.[1][2] There was an interregnum in Manya Krobo between 1990 and 1999 due to chieftaincy succession disputes.[3][4]

In 2015, on the silver jubilee of the death of Azzu Mate Kole II, the son of Nene Sir Emmanuel Mate Kole, a memorial lecture on female education was held in his memory at the Odumase Presbyterian Church at Odumase-Krobo, which was chaired Nene Sakite II on the topic, “Oklemekuku Azzu Mate Kole: A great king and a statesman”.[5][6][7][8]
