Council of State pays courtesy call on Ga Mantse

The Council of State has paid a courtesy call on the King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II to express solidarity and gratitude to God following the recent accident involving the Ga Mantse.

Speaking during the visit, the President of the National House of Chiefs, Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, said the delegation considered it necessary to stand with the Ga Mantse and his family in this period.

“We have come to pause the sadness after the accident involving His Royal Majesty, the chief and his wife. We are here to express our support and solidarity with our brother and to thank the Almighty God for saving his life,” he stated.

Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II disclosed that upon hearing news of the incident, he reached out to the Ga Mantse, recalling a previous accident during which the King had been hospitalized and confined.

He noted that he also spoke with the Queen, whom he described as a strong and supportive leader, and together they offered prayers and thanksgiving for divine protection.

According to him, the matter was formally communicated to members of the Council of State during their meeting earlier in the day, after which the delegation proceeded to the palace to convey their support in person.

The visit, he emphasized, was not only to sympathize but also to give thanks to God for preserving the lives of the Ga Mantse and all those involved.

The courtesy call highlighted the unity between state institutions and traditional authorities, as well as the collective commitment to supporting the Ga Mantse during his recovery.

On his part, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Ga Mantse expressed profound gratitude to members of the Council of State for their visit, describing it as a gesture that has further strengthened the bonds of friendship and unity between them.

The Ga Mantse said “In all things, we give thanks to God,”

He appreciated the Almighty for preserving his life following the recent accident.

The Ga Mantse, who is still recovering, is said to be particularly grateful for divine intervention and the outpouring of support from well-wishers across the country.

His Royal Majesty further hinted of a possible thanksgiving ceremony in the near future, when circumstances permit, to publicly express gratitude to God for his life and the lives of all those involved in the incident.

He has extended an invitation to members of the Council of State and other stakeholders to join him when the ceremony is held, so that they may collectively offer thanks.
