As earlier reported by GhanaWeb, the MP visited Ho on Friday to pay homage to the chiefs and people of the Asogli State as part of the annual Yam Festival.

An invitation to him did not request for niceties. Mind you he was invited because of his status and he was not the only MP invited. That said, the Asogli state rejecting gifts is a protest against his conduct. Togbe Afede is incorruptible

What Togbe Afede did is good, bcos they cannot associate with their enemy. Someone who said in 2012 that Akans should kill EWES in the Ashanti Region, Ewes are not hypocrite.

Volta chiefs need to learn from Togbe Afede so that they will respect our Ewe chiefs
