The Member of Parliament for Evalue-Ajomoro-Gwira Constituency, Kofi Arko Nokoe, has reassured residents of the Lower Axim and Nsein Traditional Areas that every step will be taken to protect unity and prevent conflict following tensions between two paramount chiefs.

In a press statement issued on Tuesday, March 31, Mr Arko Nokoe said: “At this critical moment, I call on all stakeholders, particularly the youth and residents, to remain calm and law-abiding, and to avoid any actions or statements that may escalate tensions. Let us allow dialogue, wisdom, and due process to guide the way forward.”

The MP, a native of the Nsein area and loyal member of the Lower Axim Traditional Area, emphasised that traditional institutions are central to the identity and cohesion of the communities.

He confirmed plans to collaborate with the Municipal Security Council, the Regional Coordinating Council, the Nzema Manle Council, and the Regional House of Chiefs to examine the situation carefully. 

“Let me assure the good people of Axim and, by extension, the entire constituency, that every necessary step will be taken to safeguard peace and protect the unity of our traditional areas,” he added.
