Awulae Amankrah Panyin Abbabio VI installed as new Paramount Chief of Gwira Traditional Area

The allodia owners of the Gwira Bamiankor Royal Paramount Stool land, along with accredited elders, heads of families, and principal kingmakers of the Gwira Traditional Area in the Nzema East Municipality of the Western Region, have installed a new Paramount Chief of the Gwira Traditional Area under the stool name, Awulae Amankrah Panyin VI.

At a traditional event held a few days ago at Gwira Bamiakor, the businessman was officially enstooled as the new Omanhene (Paramount Chief) of the Gwira Traditional Area, a movement that is expected to end the long-protracted Bamiankor Gwira Royal Paramount chieftaincy dispute in the area.

The official rites and rituals were performed by accredited elders, heads of families, and the principal stool father of the Gwira Traditional Area to install the businessman as the new Paramount Chief for Bamiankor Gwira.

"The royal family members would like to caution all the divisional and sub-chiefs, as well as investors, individual esteemed organizations, and the Minerals Commission of Ghana, to immediately refrain from dealing with one Henry Acquah, alias Awulae Agama Tuagyan, who is parading himself as the Paramount Chief of the area. Any such act will be deemed contrary to the dictates of the Paramountcy and shall be observed as a gross disrespect to the stool," the owners of the Gwira Traditional Area stressed.

The elders of Bamiakor Gwira repeated their call on all citizens, including private and public organizations and individuals, to immediately stop dealing with Henry Acquah, alias Awulae Agama Tuagyan, as a chief of Bamiakor Gwira, since they had installed Awulae Amankrah Panyin Abbabio VI as the new Paramount Chief of the area.

In his acceptance speech, the new Paramount Chief thanked the Bamiankor Gwira royal family and called for unity to grow the Gwira Traditional Area. He promised to work hard with stakeholders to protect all the people and properties in Gwiraland.

He further called for a united front to develop Gwira and pledged to work with the elders to help build a stronger chieftaincy institution in the area.

He, therefore, urged the few disgruntled members in the Gwira Traditional Area to bury their differences and join forces with him to work hard to bring the needed social and infrastructure development projects and programs to the area.

"I call on all and sundry to rally behind me to harness the opportunities for my people, as education, health, good sanitation, good road networks, youth sports, as well as capacity building for the young people, will be my topmost priority," Awulae Amankrah Panyin Abbabio VI noted.

With decades of experience in business, the new Paramount Chief is expected to bring his private sector skills to boost development and growth in the area.
