The Managing Director of TDC Ghana Ltd has warned that the prolonged chieftaincy disputes and simmering tensions in Anlo, Volta Region, pose a threat to the area\u2019s development and the prospects of future generations.<\/p>\n

Courage Nunekpeku, expressing deep concern over the lack of peace and unity, cautioned that the ongoing discord is undermining progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m particularly concerned about the peace of the Anloga State. I know Avadada and his team are doing a lot, but let\u2019s do more. Sometimes the news from the area, the court cases and other disputes aren\u2019t helping,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"Tension<\/figure>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s discouraging us. We must do everything for peace to prevail because development can only take place where there is peace, and this must be the mentality of the youth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The TDC MD made the remarks when a delegation of traditional leaders from Anlo paid him a courtesy call in Tema.<\/p>\n

The visit was to congratulate him on his appointment on behalf of the Awomefia of Anlo, Togbi Sri III, and to invite him to this year\u2019s Hogbetsotso festival.<\/p>\n

\"Tension<\/figure>\n

The delegation also underscored the role of traditional leadership in driving progressive national development, urging him to continue working hard to uplift his name, his hometown, the Anlo State, and Ghana as a whole.<\/p>\n

Responding to Mr. Nunekpeku\u2019s concerns, the Avadada of Anlo, Togbi Agbesi Awusu II, traced the current tensions to historical setbacks that weakened the once-powerful Anlo State Council, which governed 36 settlements.<\/p>\n

\"Tension<\/figure>\n

He recalled that during the colonial era, Anlo, which was once one of Ghana\u2019s three major kingdoms alongside Dagbon and Asante, was sidelined in the elevation of chiefs to paramountcy, leaving the state with only one paramount chief for decades.<\/p>\n

\u00a0This, he noted, allowed external influences to deepen internal divisions. Togbi Awusu II stressed that unity is vital for influence, strength, and progress. <\/p>\n

\"Tension<\/figure>\n

\u201cWithout the numbers and cohesion, Anlo risks losing its capacity to assert itself and advance its development agenda. Strength comes from solidarity and a shared vision,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He urged Mr. Nunekpeku, as a respected son of Anlo, to join efforts to resolve internal disputes so Anlo can rebuild, harness its heritage, and ensure that all citizens contribute to lasting peace and prosperity.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
