The Yilo Krobo Traditional Council, under the leadership of Oklepeme Nuer Anorbah Sasraku II, has launched the 33rd Kloyosikplemi Festival in Somanya, with a strong call for cultural revival and sustainable tourism.
This year's celebration, themed "Cultural Revival for Sustainable Tourism and Growth," brought together chiefs, queen mothers, residents of Yilo Krobo, and invited guests.
Addressing the gathering, the Paramount Chief of the Yilo Krobo Traditional Area, Oklepeme Nuer Anorbah Sasraku II, said the festival must play a pivotal role in fostering peace, unity, and collective responsibility for the development of the Yilo people. "We must allow peace to reign among ourselves, respect one another, and focus on development to bring positive change to Yilo Krobo," he stated.
He announced that one day within the festival period in November would be observed as "Peace and Love Day." On that day, households are expected to cook meals and invite friends, family, and even those they may conflict with to eat together as a sign of reconciliation and unity. "If you are at loggerheads with someone, go to their house and resolve the issue, because what matters most is peace and harmony towards the growth of the Yilo community," he added.
