Otumfuo asked to intervene in
Ejura chieftaincy dispute
Accra, June 25, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Enoch Osei Mensah, a
senior official at State Protocol, on Wednesday appealed to
the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to intervene in the
Ejura chieftaincy dispute, in order to save the area from
the mayhem, often associated with such problems.
Mr Mensah, who is also a member of the Ejura Royal Family,
observed that Ejura is one of the traditional areas in the
Asante kingdom that had enjoyed relative peace for the past
40 years and no stone must be left unturned to maintain the
status quo.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Accra, he expressed the
hope that the influence and wisdom of the Asantehene would
sway over the dispute over the eligibility of Nana Kwaku
Sarfo Kantanka Ababio II, the Divisional Chief of the area,
who had governed for over four decades.
He said Nana Ababio had championed the development of Ejura
and was also instrumental in the carving of the area to
Ejura-Sekyere-Edumasi District Assembly in 1989.
“I believe it is necessary for all citizens of Ejura to
create the conducive atmosphere that would allow such
progressive trend to continue and nip in the bud any
acrimony and division that would bring untold hardships to
the people.”
He stressed: “Let us all give peace a chance, for the sake
of posterity and our current pressing development needs.”
