The chiefs and people of the Abutia Traditional Area in the Ho-West District have installed Togbe Adza Asamoah as the Asafofiaga at Abutia-Kloe, which was characterised with a display of the rich culture heritage of the people over the weekend.
The new Chief swore the great Asafo Oath of Abutia to Asafo Yao III and pledged to lead and defend the people of Abutia at all times, and called for cooperation and unity, which were relevant to promote the rapid development of the area.
Togbe Adza Asamoah said the old order when his role was to support in fighting war had changed, paving the way for a challenging role of fighting a common enemy, which was poverty and under development, and assured the people of his commitment to playing the additional role as the Asafofiaga.
Togbe Adza Asamoah assured the people of his total commitment to use his new position to promote peace and unity among the residents, saying, peace was a prerequisite to development.
The event, which was full of splendor and pageantry, saw the combined Asafo groups of Abutia put together one of the most impressive moments, as they showcased various war dances and drumming, which was accompanied with the firing of musketry.
