Live peacefully with Aplaku indigenes – settlers told

The development of every community depends largely on unity between the indigenes and settlers.

In this light, Nii Otiboh Aplaku Head of the Nii Narteh Aplaku Family, has admonished settlers of Aplaku to continue living peacefully in the community to ensure speedy development of the town.

He said the peaceful co-existent of foreigners and natives had always ensured that the crime rate of youthful violence is reduced to the barest minimum.

Nii Otiboh Aplaku, gave the admonishing last Sunday, when the new Zongo Zabrama Chief (Sari) for Aplaku near Bortianor in the Ga South Municipality, Adama Amani, was formally introduced to him at his house.

He said the new Zabrama chief, would play a major role in the mobilization of his community youth as his predecessors did decades ago to give the youth employable skills.

Nii Otiboh Aplaku also admonished him to remain focused and avoid the temptations of being embroiled in chieftaincy and land disputes that was raging in the area. 

He said by doing that Adama Amani would remain pure with his reputation intact among his subject as a Zongo Sabrama chief that would not be forgotten quickly.

Adama Amani, later presented customary drinks and a ram and an undisclosed amount of money to Nii Otiboh Aplaku as customs demands.

The Aplaku Zongo Zambra chief, Adama Amani in an interview said he was born in Ghana in 1968.

He said his great grand fathers migrated from Sokodaloga, Zambrama Colte District in Niger, near Libya border, to Kumasi about two centuries ago.

He said his forebears later migrated to Aplaku over eight decades ago, and had always been law abiding citizens who contributed to the growth and success of Ghana and assured that he would mobilize his people for the development of Aplaku.
