Whenever I invited, my brother the Nayiri, for very good reasons, sent a delegation of his elders and such chiefs at all times that I have requested him to come. They all express confidence in the process and believe that we will be able to work towards an amicable outcome,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The move is aimed at fostering lasting peace in the troubled township.<\/p>\n<p>The Asantehene also made it clear that this \u201cwas a mediation. It wasn\u2019t an arbitration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not here to say that this one was wrong or that one was right. I\u2019ll present the facts as they are, and that is what it should be binding on all of us,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The December 16 event ceremony followed an arrival schedule that saw the dignified entrance of traditional chiefs, key stakeholders, the Chief of Staff, Otumfuo, and finally, the President.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n
