One of the key heads of the Yaa Ansaa Family that has been fighting the installation of Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III as Akwamuhene has agreed to pursue peace.
Abrewatia Love Adwo Som, who has been at the centre of Akwamu chieftaincy dispute for over 27 years, on Sunday – during the celebration of Akwasidae festival – finally let sleeping dogs lie and pledged allegiance to Akwamuhene.
Sunday also saw all the divisional chiefs of Akwamu who are the Kingmakers of the great Akwamu paramount (Amanpon Kofi) stool affirming their loyalty to the Akwamuhene Odeneho Kwafo Akoto lll.
The Akwamu State with its intriguing history has suffered development setbacks in the past 27 years due to a protracted family dispute pertaining to a misunderstanding over the installation of Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III as Akwamuhene.
The recent decision by the National House of Chiefs in favour of Odeneho Kwafo Akoto as the lawfully installed Paramount Chief of Akwamu has proved to be a turning point in the history of these descendants of warriors.
This development may be attributed to the considerable restraint and magnanimity of Odeneho himself who despite the enormous pressure that the challenge to his legitimacy brought him was determined to work towards reuniting his family.
