President to be guest at festival
Accra (Greater Accra) 17 August 2001
President John Agyekum Kufuor will join the chiefs and people of Nkoranza to celebrate their annual yam festival in November.
"I have accepted the invitation on condition that I do not have any official engagement abroad or would be in good health on that day," he assured the Omanhene, Okatakyie Agyeman Kudom IV who called on him at the State House on
Thursday.
The one- week festival on the theme: " AIDS is real- our youth must be careful," will be climaxed with a durbar of the chiefs and people on November 10.
It is celebrated at the end of every yam harvest in honour of the fallen heroes of the traditional area who fought various battles leading to the creation of the Nkoranza State.
The President met with the Omanhene's delegation behind closed doors.
