Brimah Clan reaffirms century-old ties with Ga State

In a symbolic gesture of unity and cultural continuity, Chief Abdul Rashid Brimah IX and elders of the Brimah Clan have made donations to King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Ga Mantse, and the Ga Traditional Council ahead of this year’s Homowo festival.

The event, steeped in history, reaffirms bonds first forged in the late 1800s between Chief Brimah I and King Tackie Tawiah I, when the Ga monarch appointed Chief Brimah I as the Islamic community’s representative during the Gold Coast era.

"Today, fifth and sixth generation descendants of Chief Brimah I continue to live in Accra, preserving this enduring legacy between the Yoruba and Ga peoples"

Representing the Yoruba community in the Ga State, Ashie Perrygreeno lauded King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II’s leadership, noting that his reign has ushered in both development and enhanced security.

She also expressed the Yoruba community’s intention to make the Ga Mantse Palace their new home.

The Brimah family’s donations included a cow, an undisclosed sum of money, and other assorted items.

Receiving the gifts on behalf of the Ga Mantse, Nii Ahene Nunoo III, Abola Mantse, expressed gratitude to the Brimah Clan.

He pledged the Ga State’s commitment to working together to safeguard their shared culture and heritage.
