Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Torgbiga Addo VIII, Paramount Chief of the Klikor Traditional Area has marked 40 years of reign as overload of the area, with a call on all indigenes of Klikor both home and abroad to unite and pull together for the forward march of the area.<\/b><\/p>\n

This was at a colourful durbar to climax activities that marked a week long celebration of the anniversary at Klikor in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta region.<\/p>\n

According to him, chieftaincy as an institution, played a pivotal role in national affairs- \u201cnot only does it serve as a repository of culture and tradition, but also as a major stakeholder in the shaping of national discourses and the settlement of disputes between aggrieved members of society, as well as the maintenance of peace and stability which are necessary for national development,\u201d Torgbiga said.<\/p>\n

Torgbiga Addo implored all sub and divisional Kings and Queens under the traditional area and all elders of the area, to exhibit exemplary leadership qualities worth emulating by the younger generation who would be taking up the mantle of leadership \u201cwhen we are no more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201d The future of our children lies in our hands \u2013 we must see Klikor traditional area as our only home where we can create sustainable wealth for our families \u2013 We shall be doomed if we do not change our attitude to doing things in this new era \u2013 I implore all Kings and Queens of the traditional area, to set an example of how Klikor over the years remains effective and dynamic without losing indefinable equities, style and ethics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Paramount Chief said it was time the people of the traditional area embraced change and adopted a new attitude to doing things to the benefit of the future generations.<\/p>\n

The traditional ruler commended the Ministry of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs for granting traditional council status to most traditional areas across the country including the Klikor Traditional Area which he observed would further empower him and his council of elders to deliver on their mandate successfully.<\/p>\n

He further commended President Akufo Addo for honoring his promise to fix Klikor town roads, some of which he said had been completed.<\/p>\n

\u201d I want to use the opportunity to thank the President of the Republic of Ghana for honoring his pledge to restore some of the bad roads within the Klikor traditional area- if every leader kept thier pledge to those who voted them into office, Ghana would be a better place to live in,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n

Torgbiga Afede XIV, Paramount Chief of the Asogli Traditional Area who was the special guest of honour at the function, eulogised the cordial relationship which had existed between the Asogli state and the Klikor state and assured of a consolidation of that unity going forward.<\/p>\n

He congratulated Torgbiga Addo for his exemplary leadership qualities, over the 40 years of his reign, describing him as one of the finest traditional rulers the Volta region was privileged to have.<\/p>\n

The Agbogbomefia called on all citizens of Klikor to continue to rally support behind their King, so as to enable him do more in the coming years.<\/p>\n

\u201d In this era of economic uncertainty, you must unite behind your King, giving him the necessary human and material support necessary for the transformation and development of the Klikor traditional area,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n

Torgbiga Afede who is a former President of the National House of Chiefs, appealed to the citizens of Klikor and for that matter the people of the Volta region to \u201ctake the bull by the horn\u201d in the transformation of their society.<\/p>\n

\u201d We are all aware that the Volta region is not so endowed with mineral and material resources as other regions \u2013 we must therefore take our destinies into our own hands to secure a better future for the younger generation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The colourful ceremony which brought together citizens of Klikor both home and abroad was celebrated on the theme: \u201c40 years of selfless leadership, consolidating authority, unity and progress in Klikor.<\/p>\n
