The Nkoranza Traditional Council has served the Omanhene of Mo with an injunction to halt the celebration.

Nana Awiti Kuffuor II warned that any government official, traditional leader, or person of high repute attending the festival would be considered joining the suit for contempt.

He clarified that the opposition stems from a commitment to tradition, not prejudice against the people of Mo.

"We have coexisted peacefully for generations and propose a conference to discuss peace, tranquility, and mutual development," he said.

The Kintampo Hene urged the Mo traditional area to respect tradition and accept the invitation to conference.

Residents of Kintampo and surrounding areas have expressed mixed reactions to the planned celebration.

"We understand the importance of tradition, but we also value our relationship with the people of Mo," Nana Awiti stated.

However, our traditions are sacred, and we cannot compromise on them," he added.

The dispute highlights the complexities of traditional governance and cultural heritage in Ghana.

The Nkoranza Traditional Council and Mo traditional area are expected to engage in further discussions to resolve the issue.

The outcome, according to Kintampo Hene, will have significant implications for traditional governance and community relations in the region.
