Government has Ho, Volta Region at Heart — Warlord of Asogli

The Asogli State has expressed appreciation to the government for prioritizing the Volta Region in national development efforts, as the 2026 Asogli Te Za climaxed with a vibrant grand durbar in Ho. The week-long celebration, held under the theme "United in Purpose, Investing in People and Infrastructure for Sustainable National Development," featured traditional rites and key activities such as "Dzawuwu," the Asogli Teyuyru Carnival, Mount Adaklu exploration, youth empowerment sessions, a health walk, and the Summit of Ewe Chiefs.

The event, which took place at the Jubilee Park, showcased music, costumes, and community spirit, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Asogli people. The durbar attracted a diverse crowd, including youth, cultural enthusiasts, diplomats, and residents from the region and beyond. In his address, Togbe Adzie Lakle Howusu XII, the Warlord of Asogli, on behalf of the Asogli State, thanked President John Dramani Mahama and his government for not neglecting Asogli and the Volta Region in development plans.

He highlighted the progress made on the Ho-Denu Road, dual carriageway, and Ho-Asiku-Adome roads, emphasizing the government's commitment to the people of Ho and the region. However, Togbe Howusu urged the government to expedite the completion of these projects to serve their intended purposes. Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, representing President Mahama, acknowledged the appreciation of the people and stated that Asogli and the Volta Region remain close to the president's heart.

Togbuiga Adela Aklassou IV, representing chiefs from Notsie in the Republic of Togo, expressed gratitude for the participation of chiefs despite the departure of Togbuiga Agorkorli IV.
