Fmr Minister of State calls for unity in Botoku

Madam Sena Akua Dansua, a former Minister of State and current chairperson, Local Government Council, has called on chiefs and citizens of Botoku to unite and join hands in the development agenda of Botoku Traditional Area.

According to her, she had contributed a lot like others in the areas of education, health, electricity, road but more needed to be done.

“However, because of chieftaincy litigation, we are experiencing internal divisions and formation of sectional groups which would only serve as roadblocks to the progress of the area.” Madam Dansua was speaking to journalists at the funeral service of the late Kingsley Kwami Afetor, Senior Linguist of Tamtia paramountcy at the weekend.

He passed away on October 3, 2025 at age 58, after a short illness.

He was installed in 2015 and was a professional driver.

Madam Dansua stressed further that as a development queen mother of Botoku, some people within the community say things to distract her but was bent on improving the lives of her people.

A tribute to Mr Kingsley Afetor by the Botoku Traditional Council noted that he distinguished himself to the position he occupied for 10 years.

Equally he has paid his due in life and led a life worth emulating and prayed that God should comfort his soul.

Togbe Atakora IV, Amankrado of Botoku, in his remarks stressed that historical customs and structures of communities must be respected in order to minimise chieftaincy disputes.

He cautioned against the wrongful coronation of persons not traditionally qualified to occupy traditional positions.

Present at the funeral grounds were the MP of North Dayi, Madam Joycelyn Tetteh and representatives of other political parties.
