All illegitimate chiefs will be exposed soon – Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs

The Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs has vowed to clamp down on all persons who unlawfully declare themselves as chiefs.

The Regional House of Chiefs bemoans that some divisional chiefs and priests have resorted to creating new stools and taking oaths of allegiance from unauthorised chiefs, thereby creating chaos in the Greater Accra Region.

During a visit to the House of Chiefs by the Greater Accra Regional Security Council, the Acting President of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs, Professor Odaifio Welentsi III, assured of the traditional leaders’ resolve to deal with the menace.

“As a house and fathers of the land, we have encountered a situation where some individual chiefs arrogate onto themselves some powers that they do not have authority over. For example, some divisional chiefs, priests, etc. go to the extent of creating new stools and taking oaths of allegiance from some ignorant people who call themselves chiefs and these practices ought to be stopped forthwith.

“The most common and annoying act of such people is that some even go to the extent of stampeding paramount chiefs from ascending onto their thrones in the name of being an acting president.

“These acts have gone unchecked for a while, but trust me, these acts of lawlessness will be rooted out by the Regional House of Chiefs.”
