Ho, Feb. 28, GNA- The Volta Regional House of Chiefs has inducted Togbi Tenge Dzokoto Gligui VII, Dufia of Amugo-Wego Traditional Area as a member.

Togbi Dzokoto Gligui, a 57-year-old businessman, succeeded the late Togbi Tenge Gligui VI, who had ruled for years.

The induction ceremony preceded the first meeting of the House in the year, and the Paramount Chief swore oaths before members and the leadership of the House.

Also inducted was Togbe Dadzi V, Paramount Chief of Penyi, and the two bring the membership of the house to a total of 68.

Togbe Tepre Hodo IV, President of the House, welcomed the new members, and urged them to help maintain the House in its dignity.

He urged traditional leaders to strengthen administrative structures to limit rising chieftaincy disputes, which he said was mostly caused by the infiltration of the king making institutions by imposters.

He assured that the House would work with traditional leaders across the Region to generate a database of all authentic kingmakers and would undertake an exercise to draw up the various lines of succession, in a bid to ensure smooth transitions of traditional authority.

Togbi Gligui, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that his induction into the House fulfilled the Law, which would be upheld towards the establishment of a traditional council for his area.

He also noted that he would bring together chiefs in the area to work around the establishment of the Council, saying, “If it is established and recognized by law, it means that we would have to work around the structures.

“Now we can call out of the Law, that which is not visible to become visible. That is what we must do,” he said.

The Dufia said that his area covered two economically strategic mediums; the Volta River, and a fertile stretch of land that blessed the community with dual livelihoods of fishing and crop farming and said both opportunities would be developed to help sustain the nation’s food basket and meet nutrition needs.

Togbe Dadzi, the Paramount chief of Penyi, also told the GNA that the induction into the House was a “great privilege” and said he would avail his service to aid its work.

He also pledged to provide “modern ideas” to help elevate the traditional area and said that the increasing land litigations and “minor” chieftaincy disputes would be taken care of through the judicial authority granted by the House.

Both chiefs were accompanied by supporters to the induction, who spent the day jamming to traditional music at the forecourt of the House.
