History behind ahobaa festival

Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi VII (Omanhen/

Paramount Chief of Abeadze Traditional Area &

the Second Term Un-Opposed President of

Central Regional House of Chiefs)

Ahobaa festival is celebrated by the people of

Fantse's.

But, specifically, Abeadze Ahobaa Kese is

celebrated by the people of Abeadze

Traditional area. This annual festival is always

celebrated, which commenced on the twelve

(12th) Tuesday after 'Abeadzeman Ogya' is

launched.

‘Eguado to’ festival is celebrated

before the main festival - Abeadze Ahobaa Kese

- this make Abeadze traditional area unique as

far as festivals in the entire nation, Ghana is

concerned.

‘Eguado to’ is a festival celebrated annually in

abeadzeman by every chief who sits on the

blackstool, and his town/community. It is

celebrated in the entire 23 communities of

Abeadzeman, moving from one community to

the other. It is a week long celebration marked

by traditional drumming and dancing with a

set day for the performance of traditional

rituals and special stool rites.

During the festival the people come together in

remembrance of Egya Ahor who gave up

himself to be sacrificed to stop an epidemic.

Ahor laid down his life so that his people could

be saved from a plague which attacked and

killed many of them after their migration from

Techiman to their present settlements.

As Abeadzeman celebrates ‘Eguado to’, Abeadzeman Ogya reminds us of the selfless

spirit of Egya Ahor and Nana Ewusi I, and

spares us on to rededicate ourselves to the

development of Abeadzeman in a peaceful

environment; it aflame our passion for socio-

economic development of Abeadzeman.

Long Live

Abeadzeman!! Long Live Ghana!!! .
