The Concerned Kwahu Youth Association is celebrating the return of Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II after the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs upheld him as the legitimate overlord of the Kwahu Traditional Area.

In a statement issued on Friday by Okouba Gyasi, Chairman of the Concerned Kwahu Youth Association, the group said it “hails and do celebrate the return” of the chief, describing the ruling as timely and necessary.

The association praised the House of Chiefs for what it called a bold judgment, including the restraining order issued against what it referred to as “illegitimate intruders and their agents, assigns and privies.”

According to the youth group, the long-running dispute “shouldn’t have happened to begin with.”

They also commended the Inspector General of Police for the swift intervention that restored calm at the Kwahuhene Palace in Abene.

The statement applauded the “courage and sacrifices” of Kwahu chiefs and highlighted Daasebre’s diplomatic efforts in restoring Kwahu traditions.

The group further acknowledged the patience of the people of Kwahu, noting their “tenacity in keeping the peace even under undue provocation.”

They believe the chief’s return will “usser [usher] our cherished Kwahu state into stability, prosperity and togetherness.”

The association cautioned against political interference, insisting that “self-serving politicians” must not be allowed to meddle in Kwahu traditional matters.

It condemned individuals within the area who, in its view, try to remain relevant by being “distractive to the forward movement of the Kwahu State.”

The statement ended with a warning that members “on the side of truth will continue to defend the traditions of Kwahu and its customs with our very last drop of blood.”
