“The people of Ga and Ashanti must unite to develop our communities. All Ga chiefs must rally behind Nii Teiko Tsuru II. Unity and development must be our focus for the sake of our children,” he said.
The Asantehene underscored that the contemporary role of chieftaincy should focus on development rather than territorial conquest.
“The current battle should be for development in the interest of future generations,”
He also expressed his gratitude to Nii Teiko Tsuru II for the support extended during his 25th-anniversary celebrations.
“I am grateful for your presence during my 25th anniversary celebration. Your display of love and support is reciprocated by this gesture,” he said.
