Togbe Afede XIV
Togbe Afede XIV, Agbogbomefia of Asogli State and the President of the National House of Chiefs, has expressed worry over the increasing number of self-acclaimed paramount chiefs in the Volta Region.
He noted that many traditional areas were not developing because some people had made themselves paramount chiefs without the endorsement of the Regional House of Chiefs.
Togbe Afede, who expressed frustration at the end of year general meeting of the Volta Region House of Chiefs, asked the House to put measures in place to check the practice to maintain peace in the region.
“If we have to maintain our revere, we have to bring development to our people so as to avoid our people leaving the shores of their land to other countries in search of greener pastures,” he said, noting that Africans were being brutalized in Libya for instance because leaders were not creating opportunities for their people.
Togbe Afede therefore appealed to chiefs to seek the welfare of their people and urged government to work closely with ECOWAS to resolve the Libyan issue.
