Greater Accra Regional Minister Daniel Titus Glover has argued that the chieftaincy is supposed to foster friendship, collaboration, and community development.
To him, it is not about waging wars to conquer territories but rather about unity, stability, and progress.
The Minister made the remarks at the special durbar held in honour of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II by the Ga Mantse in a special visit to the Ga State.
He said chieftaincy involves a deep bond that unites ethnic groups through love and mutual respect.
He further asserted that the visit by the Asantehene to Ga land exemplifies this bond.
The love and respect shown by the Asantehene and the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, highlight the true essence of chieftaincy as a force for unity, not conflict, he noted.
“Chieftaincy about friendship collaboration and how we can develop our people. Whether in the area of education, industry, trade and commits, physical infrastructure development and digitalisation.”
“Recently his Royal Majesty Otumfuor registered his 25th anniversary we witnessed in his reign an epitome of peace, a symbol of unity, and also qualitative leadership that he has demonstrated during his reign as the king of Asanteman.
“We believe that our friends from Asanteman equally have culture and tradition they are equally proud of
“On this not on behalf of Nii Ga and the entire Ga state, the regional coordinating council, we are so proud to receive Otumfuor and his delegation for this visit, we want to partner with him to tap on his rich experience to boost the friendship between the Ga state and Asanteman.”
The first-ever visit by the Asnatehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu marks a major milestone in the history of the two kingdoms, the Ga State has said.
“The visit will be crowned with a special durbar hosted by King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the Ga Mantse.
“It is a historic visit and rekindles the strong ties of friendship between the Gas and Ashantis. It also follows the Ga Mantse’s active participation in the Asantehene’s recent celebration of his 25th anniversary on the throne,” he said at a news conference.
“The Ga and Ashanti people have had extensive interactions, which have led to the exchange of cultural practices, traditions, and ideas,” Leader of the planning committee, Nii Boi Abbey said in a statement on June 6, 2024.
