Adaklu Goefe (V/R),
Oct. 29, GNA – Mr. Kwame Agbodza, Member of Parliament for Adaklu at the
weekend advised the people of the area to get rid of the deadly inhibition
syndrome of pull him down.
“This negative
value only blocks our development process”, he said.
Mr. Agbodza gave the
advice when he addressed a colourful durbar of the chiefs of people of five
communities at their maiden Goeviwo Za celebration at Adaklu Goefe.
The communities are
Adaklu Goefe, Adaklu Kodzobi, Woadze, Tsrukpe and Goviefe.
The festival which
was on the theme ” reuniting Goeviwo for development ” brought
together the five communities who were said to have come from one ancestor,
Togbe Goe but settled at different locations in the Volta region after
migrating from Notsie in the Republic of Togo.
Mr. Agbodza said not
until the people change from being stumbling blocks of each other’s progress,
the area would continue to suffer from the self-inflicted weight of
under-development and hardship.
He urged the people
to rally behind and support individuals and organisations to achieve their
goals.
“If we support
people be it in education, business or politics, the end result is development
and prosperity”, he said.
Mr. Matthew
Wormenor, Chairman of the Interim
Planning Committee appealed to other descendant communities of Togbe Goe to
join hands with them as proceeds from the festival would be given to the host
community for their development projects.
