Mohammed Ali Mardah, newly coronated chief of Sissala Community at
the ceremon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two ethnic communities in the Greater Accra
\nRegion, the Sissala and the Grunshi now have new traditional authorities, a
\ndeparture from the previous order when the former was responsible for both
\ngroupings.<\/p>\n

This followed the demise of Alhaji Idrisu Mardah
\nwho led the Greater Accra Grunshis and Sissalas for two decades.<\/p>\n

A colourful ceremony presided over by the
\nNational Chief Imam, Alhaji Usman Nuhu Sharubutu and the Council of Zongo
\nChiefs last Sunday saw the coronation of Mohammed Ali Mardah as chief of
\nSissala community and Ibrahim Umar Morjor as chief of the Grunshi community.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Both chiefs also immediately appointed their
\nsupporting councils who would assist in managing their cultural and administrative
\nmatters. <\/p>\n

The occasion was also used to undertake the 40
\nday post-transition special prayer for the late Alhaji Mardah who died on May
\n27 2019. <\/p>\n

In attendance were some Ga chiefs, Muslim clerics
\nand other dignitaries including Abubakar Siddique Boniface, a representative
\nfrom the Office of the Vice President and Kuoro Abu Sukabe Ninia (V) the President
\nof the Buwa Traditional Council in the Sissala West District of the Upper West
\nRegion.<\/p>\n

The leaders of the two ethnic groups jointly
\nexplained in a statement that the decision to separate the chieftaincy linage
\nwas to promote effective and transformational leadership.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe promise to continue to maintain the good
\nrelationship that existed since time immemorial as we cannot afford to
\nsacrifice that for any reason\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

The Grunshi Chief, Alhaji Morjor in an interview
\nexpressed his desire to champion education as a tool to improve the socio-economic
\ndevelopment of his people.<\/p>\n

He urged all parties to eschew deviant acts that have the potential of sowing seeds of discord and disrupting the peace and harmony existing between the various ethnic groups.<\/p>\n
