On July 7th, I led the Military Southern Command to Nkwanta, where we engaged in a symbolic peace-pipe ceremony with esteemed opinion leaders Konkomba, Adele, Akyode, and Challa.
During our meeting, I reaffirmed my commitment to unity, emphasizing the importance of abandoning ethnic-based festival celebrations in any form in Nkwanta South. Instead, I encouraged the three major ethnic groups to observe these festivities at their ancestral or traditional homes, fostering a spirit of inclusivity and harmony.
I also underscored the significant financial burden imposed by the ongoing conflict, highlighting the potential benefits of redirecting these resources towards enhancing the lives of Nkwanta South’s citizens. By embracing peace, we can unlock opportunities for growth, development, and a brighter future for our community.
The engagement was fruitful, and I’m optimistic that our collective efforts will foster a more peaceful and cohesive community in Nkwanta South. Oti Regional Minister Hon. John Kwadwo Gyapong
