At a Homowo durbar of chiefs and elders of the Gbese Traditional Area in Accra over the weekend, the Gbese Mantse, Nii Ayi-Bonte, urged the people to unite in their efforts to restore Accra to its greatness. He explained that Homowo was not a period only for merrymaking but for deep introspection and reflections on the past, present, and future. Nii Ayi-Bonte said it was very important for the people of Ga Mashie and Greater Accra, in general, to pause and take stock, reflecting on why it was lagging behind in its development despite being the national capital. "We must celebrate this year's Homowo, but we must not only make merry; we must also reflect on our past, present, and future and also find ways we will unite to build Accra," he stressed. In the sentiments expressed by the Gbese Mantse, who is also the Adonteng of the Ga State, he could not have chosen any other platform than the one offered by the Homowo festival, which is celebrated by the Ga-Dangme people in the Greater Accra Region. Indeed, while congratulating the Gas for celebrating another festival, we would like to add our voice to the call by the Gbese Mantse, which we believe is also shared by all well-meaning indigenes and Ghanaians at large.
