The chiefs and people of Weta in the Volta Region have issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Minister of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, as well as the Volta Regional House of Chiefs, to resolve a longstanding chieftaincy dispute.
According to them, the ultimatum is to prompt action for a solution to the prolonged dispute that has afflicted the area.
Amidst growing frustration among the chiefs and residents of Weta, the call for resolution arises as they endure the ramifications of the unresolved chieftaincy matter.
The dispute, which has lingered over the community like a shadow, has not only hindered development initiatives but has also strained the social fabric of the area.
Speaking to JoyNews, the Dusifiaga of the Weta Traditional area, Torgbui Ashiagbor IV, representing the Chiefs of Weta, said, "We, the Chiefs and people of Weta, have reached a breaking point. Our community has suffered for too many years due to this unresolved chieftaincy dispute. It is time for concrete action to restore peace and progress in our beloved town.
"We are giving the authorities a clear timeline of 14 days to initiate meaningful discussions and come up with a plan of action. Should this timeline pass without substantial progress, we will have no choice but to explore other avenues to have our voices heard."
The people of Weta, known for their rich cultural heritage and unwavering sense of community, have long yearned for stability and unity under a recognized traditional authority. It is hoped that this ultimatum will serve as a catalyst for constructive dialogue and pave the way for a resolution that benefits all stakeholders involved.
