Breman Asikuma chief calls for peace ahead of polls
Odeefo Amoakwa Buadu VIII, Paramount Chief of
Breman Asikuma Traditional Area, has advised
Ghanaians not to take the peace and stability the
country is enjoying for granted.

He called also for a high sense of nationalism and
the spirit of oneness as the country approached
the December 7 general elections.

Odeefo Buadu gave the advice while addressing his
Divisional and other Sub-Chiefs as well as heads
of families who joined him at his palace to
celebrate the “Adae Kesse” festival, which,
was part of activities paving the way for the
celebration of this year’s Odwira festival of
the chiefs and people.

The Odwira festival, on the theme: ‘Promoting
citizens responsibility for Bremanman’s
development,’ will be climaxed with a durbar
tomorrow, November 19.

Odeefo Buadu said peace was essential in the daily
lives of all human beings, and it would be
unfortunate for politicians or groups of people to
unduly take advantage of the coming elections to
cause mayhem in the country.

He appealed to the chiefs and the various family
heads to sensitise their communities and family
members to the need for peace, to prevent them
from indulging in any acts that could disturb the
peace of the area and the country as a whole,
before, during and after the elections.

Touching on the festival, the Omanhene said it was
designed by the ancestors to bring them together
to combine their ideas and suggestions that would
help promote the development of the traditional
area, and not to disintegrate the people.

He, therefore, urged the current generation to
learn from what their ancestors bequeathed to them
for the rapid and effective development of the
area.
