Accra, Oct. 11, GNA – Nana Akosua Akyiamah III, Queenmother of Asante Juaben, has sent a delegation to settle the impasse between New Juaben Traditional Council and the Queenmother, Nana Yaa Daani II.
A statement issued in Accra copied to Ghana News Agency on Monday said following the intervention of the delegation an amicable settlement had been reached in the almost two years impasse.
“With the smoking of the peace pipe, Nana Yaa Daani, has promised to fully co-operate with the traditional council in all its endeavours.
“She also assured Nananom of her readiness to fully participate in all the activities of the traditional council while pledging before Nananom to work very closely with the Omanhene, Daasebre Professor Emeritus Oti Boateng, to ensure steady progress of the area, stressing that the past is buried forever.”
The delegation expressed satisfaction at the cordial atmosphere that prevailed at the settlement and urged Nana Daani to live up to her words and co-operate with the traditional council and the Omanhene to ensure peace and progress in the area.
In addition, it reminded the Queenmother of her role in the traditional area and therefore urged her to perform that role as demanded by custom and tradition.
The delegation on behalf of Nana Akyiamah, thanked the Council and the Omanhene for accepting the apology they rendered on behalf of Nana Daani.
In a related development, the statement announced that New Juaben Traditional Council had placed a ban on the first anniversary funeral celebration of the dead.
The council said it would only allow the pouring of libation and prayers as well as visit to the cemetery in remembrance of the dead on the occasion of the first anniversary.
“These measures are meant to cut down the escalating costs associated with the celebration of the first anniversary which are becoming unbearable,” the statement added.
