Queen Mother of Lashibi Traditional Area preaches peace and love
Traditional leaders around the country have been admonished to
embrace and preach peace and development at all times.
The Queen Mother for Lashibi Traditional Area, Manye Naa
Ojeabgo II, made this appeal at the launch of ‘The Interreligious Association
for Peace and Development’ organised by the Universal Peace Federation in Accra
recently.
Speaking to the B&FT, Ojeagbo II - who is a Divisional Queen
Mother of Nungua Traditional Council - said that for peace to grow, the youth
must seriously be educated on why peace and development is the way to go rather
than petty conflicts that could grow into riots.
“Just as Chief Moomen, a founder of the association said:
‘Religious and traditional leaders are needed to bring hard work, love and
passion to the country, and they should also work with the youth and the
society at large’. So, therefore, for peace and development to grow, the youth
of our land must be educated as to the reasons why peace must prevail now, before
and after elections and the next generation to come,” she said.
Ojeagbo II said there is much joy in having good health and
peace, and by bringing everyone together so we can make it possible to achieve
the goals of our country as one.
“For peace to reign, it must first start among the youth; and you
don't have to play with the mind of the youth to instigate conflict. If we are
at peace and love each other well, everything - especially tourism and
investment - will make Ghana gain more than enough,” she added.
Manye Naa Ojeagbo II thanked organisers of the association and commended the people of Lashibi and its environs, and Nungua Traditional Council, for the prevailing peace and love among the youth.
