In a landmark emergency meeting held on Sunday, May 11, 2025, at the Assembly Hall of the Akatsi South Municipal Assembly, Togbega Dorglo Anumah VI, Paramount Chief and President of the Avenor Traditional Council, delivered a resounding speech reaffirming the council's unwavering commitment to preserving its traditional governance.

The meeting, attended by esteemed Chiefs, Queens, Elders, and representatives from across Avenor, was convened in response to a contentious issue that has persisted for over a decade-attempts to elevate Togbui Samlafo IV to the status of a Paramount Chief, a move fiercely opposed by the leadership of the Avenor Traditional Council.

Togbega Dorglo Anumah VI wasted no time in addressing the central issue, revealing that on May 2, 2025, he received a letter from a sub-committee of the National House of Chiefs, tasked with examining a petition regarding the alleged elevation of Togbui Samlafo IV.

This development, according to the Paramount Chief, represents yet another attempt to destabilize Avenor's established leadership hierarchy.
