We will not countenance lack of respect for traditional leaders – Edubiasehemaa
The Queenmother of the Edubiase traditional area Nana Akua Dwum II has bemoaned the recent attacks on traditional leaders by a section of Ghanaians.
The attacks, she said, constitute the lack of respect some Ghanaians have for traditional authorities in the country.
At a durbar to mark her 10-year anniversary celebrations, the Queenmother said it is regrettable how Ghanaians due to ignorance of the functions of traditional authorities have resorted to attacking some Chiefs in the country.
“As Queenmothers we will not sit unconcerned and allow some people to denigrate the Asantehene and the Asanteman Traditional Council. Chieftaincy was there even before Political leadership came into effect”.
Nana Akua Dwum II seized the opportunity to admonish Ghanaians to be circumspect in discussing issues that bother on chieftaincy especially the Asantehene.
Nana Akua Dwum II known in private life as Vida Ansah was enstooled as the Queenmother of the area on 30th May, 2010 after taking over from late Nana Ama Nyakoma.
Many have described her as a transformational leader who has led some development in Edubiase stool lands and the Adansi South District. Some of the remarkable achievements include; lobbying for the construction of access roads within the New Edubiase Township, spearheading as a leading facilitator on adolescent sexuality and female empowerment in the Adansi South Districts.
Nana Akua Dwum II’s achievements cut across social, economic, technology,education, infrastructure, health, agriculture and other developments.
The 10-year anniversary durbar of the Queenmother of Edubiasehemaa was chaired by Nana Nkansah Boadu Ayeboafo, the Chief of Agric Nzema.
