Osu Alata chief swears Oath

The Osu , Nii Kwabena Bonne V has sworn an oath of allegiance to Nii Nortey Owuo III, to signify unity among the people of Osu.
Mr Solomon Nii Tetteh Quaynor, a Municipal Elder of Osu Alata and Technical Advisor to both the Osu Mantse and Osu Divisional Council said the swearing of allegiance to the Osu Mantse was done in the past till it stopped in 1946.
The practice, he explained, was to foster togetherness among the people of Osu.
During the swearing ceremony, he said he would assist the progress, development and unity of the Osu State in particular and the Ga state in general.
In response to his Oath, the Osu Mantse expressed gratitude to the Osu Alata Mantse for reuniting and resolving chieftaincy disputes in the land.
He further said the gesture would enable the Government to release lands of Osu to the people for development projects.
Nii Owuo III said the 55 per cent of development disbursement given to the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) for development projects have not been beneficial to the locals of Osu and requested the Government to create a municipal assembly for Osu.
Nii Bonne V also appealed to all bury their differences and join hands to give peace a chance for the development of Osu.
He encouraged the Queens and Kings present to endeavour to put their resources together to educate their children.
