An advanced party of top Lybian officials stormed Sunyani, the Brong Ahafo regional capital on Tuesaday ahead of the arrival of the Lybian Leader, Brother Muammar Al Ghaddafi, who is on his way to attend the 9th African Union Summit in Accra.The Accra summit is expected to discuss a United Africa States, (USA).

Brother Ghaddafi arrives in Sunyani on Wednesday and would be welcome at the Kwame Nkrumah Jubilee Park by 12 noon. Most people in Sunyani were wondering how the over hundred vehicles conveying Ghaddafi and his team, would be accomadated.But security sources say "things are under control".


At about 5:15pm, the Lybian officials, led by dispact riders, breezed into the regional capital, drawing several people to the road side to wave at them.The Lybian officials quickly went into a meeting with the regional minster, Mr Ignatius Baffour Awuah at his office.


Space FM gathered that the meeting centered on security arrangements made for the arrival of the Lybian leader and his large delegation, who started the journey to the Accra summit by road some days back.

Muammar Gaddafi has described the African Union as a failure and vowed to press ahead with plans for a single African government.


Speaking in Guinea's capital, Conakry, Mr Gaddafi said there was no future for individual African nation states. He urged leaders attending next month's African Union summit in Ghana to decide to create a United States of Africa. Mr Gaddafi has long been a leading proponent of the idea, but some observers say it is not realistic. "At the Accra summit we are going to get straight to the point. Let those who are hesitating, get out of our way," he told tens of thousands of people at a rally in Conakry. "For 40 years all the summits have failed," he said. "Our micro-states have no future."
