In a statement copied Awake News, Togbiga Ashiakpor VI, known in private life as Mr. Emmanuel Gbeve, who describes himself as “the rightful Overlord and Paramount Chief of Weta Traditional Area,” has responded to a statement made by Dr. Kwamigah-Atokple during his appearance on Fafaa 100.3 FM’s Duamenefa Programme.
According to Togbiga Ashiakpor VI, “Atokple’s statements, which sought to delegitimize my authority and misrepresent the facts surrounding the Weta chieftaincy dispute, are not only misleading but deeply troubling – especially coming from a senior statesman who is expected to uphold neutrality, wisdom, and peace.”
Torgbuiga said
Atokple claims that “one of the claimants has been officially gazetted” and urges the other to seek redress in court. This statement is disingenuous and omits critical facts. As clearly documented in Suit No. VRP.2/2018 and Suit No. C13/01/23, the gazetting of Mr. Nelson Kofi Glago (purporting to be Torgbuiga Akpo Ashiakpor VI) was procured through fraudulent misrepresentation, despite a pending suit challenging his eligibility and lineage.
“This individual[Nelson Believer Kofi Glago] has consistently acted as an imposter, emboldened by elements within the NPP government to intimidate and destabilize the legitimate kingmakers and the Ashiakpor Royal Family of Weta – a campaign of coercion that continues to this day and is now being whitewashed under the current NDC-led regime, with Dr. Gabriel Kwamigah Atokple (Tanko) leading the charge or in the helm.” – Togbiga Ashiakpor VI added
For him, Dr. Kwamigah Atokple’s “dual role as a Council of State member and partisan actor has compromised the neutrality expected of his office, allowing him to shield fraudulent chieftaincy claims while suppressing the rightful custodians of Weta’s heritage”
The Weta Chieftaincy disputes started as far back us 2018 when Mr. Nelson Believer Glago was intalled as Fiaga Ashiakpor VI of Weta Traditional Area”
