Greater Accra Regional Minister Nii Laryea Afotey-Agbo

Gov’t pleads with Ga people to celebrate Homowo solemnly
Greater Accra Regional Minister Nii Laryea
Afotey-Agbo has asked for this year’s Homowo
festival to be observed solemnly in honour of the
late President John Evans Atta Mills.

With some persons asking for the postponement of
all regional festivals until the burial of former
president Mills, the regional minister said he
will meet with the Greater Accra Regional House of
Chiefs on how to celebrate this year’s festival
calmly, so it will not be disrespectful to the
departed president and in relation to their
custom.

Nii Laryea Afotey-Agbo who was speaking on Adom TV
on Thursday asked the Ga’s to limit the
celebration to their homes and without the
accompanying noise as has been the norm.

Responding to the issues raised by some Ga chiefs
who are unhappy with the burial date set for the
late President, Nii Laryea said his office is yet
to receive any such complaints from the chiefs
adding, “anybody with concerns with the date
should visit his office.”
