Nana Dwamena Akenten II, the Paramount Chief of Offinso Traditional Council in the Ashanti Region, has stressed the need for all hands to be on deck for the development of the area with unity.

According to him, without unity, no meaningful development could be achieved; hence, there is the need for all Ghanaians, especially those in the area, to come together and work hard for the betterment of Offinsoman, Asanteman and Ghana as a whole.

The revered chief gave the advice when he managed to settle a long-standing disagreement between two royal families (Akokodease and Ahyaem) at his palace at Offinso on Sunday, 11th August 2024.

The settlement meeting, which was personally facilitated by the paramount chief, was attended by over 200 members of the two families. It was heartening when the families agreed to be one without division.

Nana Akenten said, “From today onwards, there is no more Akokodease or Ahyaem family because you’re all royals. You’re all now Offinso Asona (Adeyie) royals.”

Nana Akenken was very grateful to Nana Owusu Kwarteng II, the Dumanafohene and all chiefs in the area for their continued support for peace and unity in the area.

Abusuapanin Atta Kwabena thanked the paramount chief for his intervention which had brought finality to the misunderstanding between the two families.

He promised that both families would live in peace and support his administration to succeed.
