Ms Sackey said this on Thursday in Accra at the launch of the Ga-Dangme Think Tank Group on the theme: “Ga-Dangme, Our Heroes, Our Heritage.” She said chieftaincy in Ga-Dangme had become problematic thus creating disunity among the people and the communities.

She said chiefs must be seen as prime agents and leaders in the establishment of peace within the community and that this could be achieved by avoiding all tendencies that had the potential of generating disputes and litigations.

Ms Sackey said it was pertinent to create a good image of the Ga-Dangme State in the eyes of the international community to bring investments to help develop the nation. She said the Ga-Dangmes needed to foster unity because it was the only means to raise the standards and well-being of the people.

Ms Sackey called on traditional and opinion leaders in the Ga-Dangme State to take urgent steps to address all factors that inhibit the march towards peace, stability and progress. Nii Okuley Apesor III, the Chairman of the Ga-Dangme Think Tank Group, said the Group was established to project and promote an enterprising Ga-Dangme State and make it attractive for business transactions.

He said the Group sought to spearhead programmes and activities that could enhance the wellbeing of the people as well as bring on board young professional Ga-Dangmes to promote development.

Nii Apesor said the Group believed that the future of Ga-Dangme statesmen and women lay in the power of education and culture and that the Group would do all in its power to push that agenda forward. “This will be the only way to eliminate some social vices that creep into societies and destroy them,” he said.

He urged all Ga-Dangme’s to be united because it was one of the ways to promote development.
