The newly installed Kwahumanhene Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II, on the day of his outdooring ceremony has called on the people of Kwahu Traditional Area to join forces and unite to enable them develop the area.

He has again called on those who fled Kwahu Abene, the traditional capital of Kwahu, due to some chieftaincy misunderstandings, to return home and steer the wheel of development in the area.

Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II stated this at Kwahu Abene last Saturday on the occasion of his outdooring as the new Omanhene of Kwahu Traditional Area, pledging an open- door policy and positive ideas from groups and individuals towards the development of Kwahu.

“As you all can see, this place is peaceful; there is no more fighting going on here and so those who have fled due to some chieftaincy disputes can now return home because we have a lot of work to do for our people and also to develop Kwahuman”, Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II appealed.

He therefore urged the people to bury their differences and see themselves as one people with a common destiny.

On his part, the Adontenhene of Kwahu, Nana Asiedu Agyemang lll, commended the kingmakers of Abene for the peaceful manner they went about during the chief's installation despite initial setbacks and hoped such co- operation and peace would continue.

The Queen mother of Kwahu, Nana Ama Gyemfua II, thanked all those who assisted and stood by the kingmakers during the trying times and urged them to continue co-operating at all times.
