Mrs. Benyiwa-Doe stated this when addressing a durbar of the chiefs and people of Breman Asikuma, to climax their Odwira festival.
Mrs. Georgina NkrumahAboah, the District Chief Executive, appealed to the chiefs to bury their differences, cooperate and contribute towards the development of the district, saying “together we can achieve success.”
