Lay Down Your Guns For Better Development — Assin Atandansu Paramount Chief Tell Fighting Chiefs.
The Paramount Chief of Assin Atandansu Traditional Area in the Central Region, Odeefuo Tsibu Darko Ampem II, has called for unity among traditional rulers in the area to promote development.

John Ntim Fordjour, the Paramount Chief of Nkusukum Traditional Council, Okogyeaman Okese Essandoh IX, Trinidad and Tobago Ambassador to Ghana, His Excellency, Mr. Hilton John Mitchell among others.
