Nungua royal gates have reunited as the power play by both the Paramount Chief of Nungua King Prof. Odaifio Walentse III and the Chief Priest of Nungua Nuumo Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII has been quelled.
Both feuding factions had been fighting over who is the legitimate ruler of the Nungua community.
This came to light at a joyous occasion to officially launch the 2023 Kplejoo festival celebration which forms part of the municipality’s customary rites to remember their forefathers and ancestors.
Speaking at the official launch of the Kplejoo Festival for this year, the paramount chief King Prof.Nii Odaifio Walentse III urged the youth of the community to desist from chieftaincy violence and learn from the historic unity they witness as they mark the annual festival.
He said the misunderstanding between him and the chief priest was just a small matter and it has been resolved by themselves and called for Coexistence among the traditional authorities.
According to him, the Nungua community is the only place they belong and cannot run to any community, so if they destroy it is their property which the forefathers left them in peaceful harmony they destroy.
The paramount chief warned some politicians who have tagged Nungua as a flash point of violence must know that the community has taken its white clothes back so they should stop spoiling the beautiful community.
King Professor Nii Odaifio Walentse III was optimistic that the picture out there will change henceforth.
A 25-member committee has been constituted to ensure that it is peaceful during and after the festive season.
He also tasks the committee to bring perpetrators who caused violence to book without fear or favour and by doing so it will help bring lasting peace to the community.
The paramount chief assured that immediately after the festive season he and the chief priest will sit down and see the way forward to reclaiming all lands that have lost the community over the years.
He said the necessary documents are all intact so claiming it back won’t be a problem at all.
