The Anfoega Traditional Council in the Volta Region has strongly denied reports claiming that the Paramount Chief, Togbe Tepre Hodo IV, has banned activities of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the area.

In a statement issued by the Anfoega State Secretariat and signed by the State Secretary, Mr. Samuel Adibbli, the council described the reports as “palpable falsehood” and urged the public to disregard them.

“The attention of the Anfoega State Secretariat and the Traditional Council has been drawn to a false publication alleging that Togbe Hodo has banned NDC activities in his traditional area,” the statement read.

According to the council, there is no truth to the claim, and no such directive has been issued by the Paramount Chief.

The Secretariat emphasized that Togbe Hodo has not imposed any restrictions on the political activities of any party, including the NDC.

The Council further called on the individual responsible for the false publication to retract the statement and issue an unqualified apology to Togbe Tepre Hodo IV and the people of Anfoega.

“There is peace between Togbe Tepre Hodo, his subjects, and all political parties in the Anfoega Traditional Area,” the statement concluded.

The Anfoega Traditional Council reaffirmed its commitment to peace and political tolerance ahead of the upcoming elections.

Editor's note: We sincerely apologise to Togbe Tepre Hodo IV, Paramount Chief Anfoega Traditional area, for any embarrassment our earlier story caused him.
