President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been given a rare invitation by a chief from Notsie in Togo for next year’s Hogbetsotso Festival.
The chief congratulated Nana Akufo-Addo for his election as the next president of Ghana.
Speaking in French, the president-elect accepted the invitation and promised to do his best to be there.
He also took the opportunity to send fraternal greetings to President of Togo Faure Gnassingbe.
The chief from Notsie represented Torgbui Agorkoli at the celebration of Togbe Afede XIV as President of the National House of Chiefs, over the weekend.
Nana Akufo-Addo congratulated Togbe Afede XIV, charging him to modernize the chieftaincy institution with his experience.
“You are in a great position to help in the modernisation of this institution. You come to the position with great credentials and I am sure you will get the support of other like-minded chiefs to help you.”
Nana Akufo-Addo promised to work with all chiefs in the governance of the nation, especially as he is also one.
“For my part, I intend to work with you at all levels – traditional councils, regional houses of chiefs and national houses of chiefs to enhance the governance of our nation, especially since my recent installation as Togbe Dunenyo Dzigbordi I, I am one of you.”
The president-elect expressed gratitude to the people of Volta Region, whose House of Chiefs Togbe Afede heads, for the “support” in the recently held elections.
“You have worked hard and we appreciate your dedication. It is not an easy task to operate in the stronghold of your opponents. We are proud of you and we thank you.”
