The Paramount Chief of Basa Traditional area, Nana Owusu Sakyi III, has described Nana Kwadwo Nyarko III, the Paramount chief of Prang in the Bono East Region as a symbol of peace.
“Nananom from both Bono and Bono East regions are proud of Nana Nyarko, a former Member of the Council of State and one time President of the Brong Ahafo Region, who has successfully reigned as Omanhene of Prang for 60 years and we salute you”, the Basa chief remarked.
Nana Owusu Sakyi, who doubles as the President of Bono East Regional House of Chiefs noted at this Year’s Nkyifie’s Yam Festival at Prang that the 60th Anniversary of the enstoolment of Nana Nyarko tells a story that must be emulated by all chiefs across the nation.
The president of Bono East Regional House of Chiefs pointed to the massive development at Prang over 60 years, attributing them to peace and unity prevailing in the area and called on Chiefs to emulate the Prang Omanhene if they want to be successful.
He noted that the area from Prang through Abease to Kintampo has opened up to development and that with unity in a peaceful atmosphere development is a matter of course.
Nana Sakyi advised colleague chiefs in the Bono East Region to bury their differences to pave way for progress and development else posterity would not forgive them for failing to impact on lives of their people.
