This comes after Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III was on Monday, October 17, 2022, inducted into the Akwamu Traditional Council.
His induction into the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs was held in a colourful ceremony on Thursday, October 20, 2022, spearheaded by the president of the House Nene Sakitey II.
In his speech at the induction ceremony, Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III who doubles as the
Akwamuhene and President of the Akwamu Traditional Council was thankful of the honour done him describing the occasion a reality come true.
“There is no measure of how honoured I am and how proud I feel for being inducted into this great institution of eminent chiefs. This day has been over thirty years in coming.
I start by thanking Almighty God for granting me the grace to see today become a reality.
“I would also like to thank this august body of eminent Chiefs under the leadership of Nene Sakitey II, for extending the invitation to join your ranks as a member of the regional house. The magnitude of this honour is not lost on me,” he said.
Odeneho Akoto III accepting the new challenge ahead of him pledged to give his all-in-all and carry himself with dignity and promise to at all times treat every member of the House with the deserving respect that he hopes to enjoy from the institution.
“As a new member among you, I would like to assure you that I am here to learn but also to put my skills, wisdom, and experience at your disposal to help improve the functions of the house.
“This means that in the beginning, I may ask questions to better understand the processes that inform the performance of our roles; and I hope you will accommodate my curiosity with patience.”
The chief observed that the chieftaincy-litigation-battle is a remarkable journey that equipped him with the qualities required to earn him a place among the Regional House of Chiefs.
While expressing gratitude to the Nananom, Chiefs and Elders of Akwamuman and the Akwamuhemea Nana Afrakoma III, he acknowledged them for supporting him.
While my induction today is highly gratifying, it would be wrong of me to think that I arrived here on my own accord. With that in mind, may I acknowledge Akwamuhemea Nana Afrakoma III, my chiefs and elders, mentors, friends, and the amazing group of compatriots who have walked with me through these past years, and who have accompanied me here in their numbers, “Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III appreciated.
