“I am very pleased with the way and manner in which the people of Mesidan have embraced and participated in this year’s Appor Festival. Their participation has proven that they truly value our culture and are determined to preserve it for future generations,” he stated.
Nana Kwasi Twi Brempong II noted that the Appor Festival offers a vital platform for the people of Techiman to openly discuss matters hindering progress in the area and to honour those making positive contributions toward development.
“The festival provides the opportunity for us, the citizens of Techiman, to express our grievances to chiefs, elders, leaders and individuals whose actions or inactions undermine development, while also commending those who are making meaningful contributions,” he explained.
He added that the events witnessed during the celebrations truly captured the spirit of the festival, as locals and residents employed music to promote social responsibility and accountability.
“What you witnessed here today were indigenes and residents of Techiman using songs to constructively criticize leaders within the community, while at the same time commending those who deserve recognition,” the chief remarked.
Highlighting the importance of the final day, Nana Kwasi Twi Brempong II explained the unique responsibility placed on the people of Mesidan and the Mesidan Traditional Council.
