The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has reiterated the Ga people’s commitment to peace and coexistence in Accra but cautioned against what he described as growing disregard for the custodians of the nation’s capital.
Addressing a durbar to climax the 2025 Homowo festival in Kpone on Saturday, August 30, the Ga Mantse stressed that while the Ga people will never banish anyone from Accra, they expect to be respected and duly recognised.
“We won’t banish anyone from Accra because we are welcoming by nature. The least we expect is to be respected and honoured. The Greater Accra Region has been successful as the country’s capital because of the loving nature of the Ga people. It should never happen that we are disrespected for hosting the nation’s capital,” King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II said.
He assured that traditional authorities remain committed to safeguarding peace and harmony in the region, describing stability as vital for socio-economic development.
The Ga Mantse also underscored the importance of preserving Ga customs and traditions to strengthen cultural identity and empower traditional leadership.
He further appealed to corporate institutions operating in Kpone and its environs to prioritise community development through meaningful corporate social responsibility initiatives.
