THE differences over the siting of the capital of the Adaklu-Anyigbe District at Agotime-Kpetoe instead of Adaklu-Waya have been resolved.
The people who were against the Adaklu Traditional Council because of the siting of the district capital have now restored their recognition for the paramount chief, Togbe Gbogbi Atsa V whom they denounced at a press conference in May, 2006.
It would be recalled that the aggrieved people of the Adaklu Traditional Area embarked on many protests over the siting of the district capital at Kpetoe and also withdrew recognition for their paramount chief, Togbe Gbogbi Atsa V.
With the intervention of some prominent citizens, led by one Mr Mathias Dorfe, they organised a peace group, who mediated in the misunderstanding for peace to return to Adaklu.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic on the peace overtures, a former assembly member for Adaklu, Mr Bismarck Vehe, said through the peace group, the sentiments of the people were expressed by Togbe Agbi and the elders, and these were communicated to the paramount chief.
He said after a series of meetings and consultations, the paramount chief in consultation with Togbe Ata Kosi of Tsrefe, created a platform for reconciliation.
According to Mr Vehe, some customary rites were performed to revoke the curses invoked against the paramount chief and also to restore recognition to him.
