Enyan Denkyira Ahobaakese commences on October 2

Enyan Denkyira (C/R), Oct. 2, GNA – Osabarima
Otsibu VI, Paramount Chief of Enyan Denkyira Traditional Area, has appealed to
sons and daughters of Enyanman to fully participate in activities earmarked for
the Ahobaakese Festival and contribute generously towards development of the
area.

The Festival, on the theme: “Uniting Enyan for
Development,” will be held from October 2 to 9 to mobilise funds to support the
running of schools and construction of an ultra-modern traditional council
building.

Osabarima Otsibu made the appeal in an
interview with the Ghana News Agency at his palace in Enyan Denkyira after the
Traditional Council had met the Planning Committee to update it of preparations
to ensure a peaceful festival.

He said the Enyans were farmers who migrated
from Tekyiman to Mankessim and later moved to Essiam in search of a conducive
environment to farm, and finally settled at Enyan.

He said development was vital in the lives of
all and sundry, and to achieve a well-developed community, the citizens must
contribute to complement the efforts of government in its bid to make the
country a better place to live.

Osabarima Otsibu, therefore, expressed the
need for his people to participate fully in the Festival to enable the
Traditional Area to achieve its aspirations towards a total development and
leave a legacy for the next generation.

He urged the people to be disciplined and
decent during the celebration and refrain from all negative practices that
could mar the beauty of the Festival.

Later Mr Ebenezer Sekyi Turkson, the 2018
Festival Chairman, said among the activities are clean-up, music competition,
health walk, durbar, installation of Asafohenfo and a picnic.
