Businessman and leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Otchere-Darko, has called on residents within the Greater Accra Region to respect traditional laws, particularly the ban on drumming and noise-making as part of the Homowo Festival celebrations.
According to him, individuals within the jurisdiction must adhere to the regulations set by traditional authorities, emphasising that failure to comply should warrant relocation.
In a May 18, 2025, social media post, Otchere-Darko urged residents to honour the seasonal restriction, stressing that silent prayers are equally effective. "If you are on Ga land and they say this is a seasonal period of no noise-making (as in drumming, etc.), please respect that.
After all, God hears silent prayers.
