Some people thought that the Bediako royal clan has no family head and for far too long we have been sidelined when it comes to decision making in the area. But today we want everybody to know that Nuumo Tettey Ogoe continuous to be our family head in the Bediako royal clan and must be accorded the needed respect, attention and mention at all events that has to do with the development of Kpone," some family members stressed.

T Quarahie also explained that "soon after the demise of the then family head of the Bediako royal clan some years ago, Nuumo Tettey Ogoe was duly selected and approved with all the necessary rites performed for him as a successor of the late Ahia Mansro, the then head of the Bediako royal clan. So we are happy Nuumo Ogoe is still here with us and continuous to be our head of family. Although he has been quite over the years, his new outdooring signifies the beginning of greater things to happen to the people of the Bediako royal clan. So we want all and sundry to know that Nuumo Ogoe is still alive and continuous to be the family head of the Bediako royal clan," he emphasized.
