New chief and queenmother introduced to Techimanhene

Techiman (Brong Ahafo) 16 May 2001

 

Osabarima Dotobibi Takyia-Ameyaw II, Omanhene of Techiman Traditional Area, has called on his people to rekindle their communal and self-help spirit for the development of the area.

The Omanhene also urged them to initiate development projects, to complement government’s efforts at improving the standards of living of the people.   

Osabarima Takyia-Ameyaw made the call when the new chief and queenmother of New Aboadikro were introduced to him at his palace on Tuesday.

The new Chief, Nana Fosu Gyeabour succeeds his late uncle Nana Owusu Acheaw, whilst the Queenmother, Nana Agyeiwaa Kodia, succeeds her late grandmother, Akosua Donkor.

The Omanhene noted that unity, co-operation and understanding among the people could propel them into prosperity.

Osabarima Takyia-Ameyaw advised the new traditional leaders to dispense justice fairly and advised the people to co-operate with their chief and Queenmother.

Nana Afia Abrafi Kotoo, Queenmother of the Techiman Traditional area, urged the new chief and queenmother to redouble efforts at curbing immoral activities, especially among the youth.

She also cautioned them to refrain from acts that could bring the sacred institution of chieftaincy into disrepute.

Nana Baffour Asare Twi-Brempong, Adontehene of the area, advised the people to invest in the education of their children and to help them to acquire qualifications and skills needed for national development.

Nana Opoku Abankwah, Krontihene of the area, called on the new chief and queenmother to regularly consult the elders and other chiefs in the district for direction.

The new chief and the queenmother promised to serve the people faithfully and asked for their unflinching co-operation and support.

All the divisional chiefs of the traditional area attended the ceremony.
