WELCOME ADDRESS
It is with considerable pleasure that I otumfoͻ Amoah Sasraku IV, address the entire Twifoman community. To those at home within the traditional area, those in Ghana but not in the traditional area and those outside Ghana. I want to thank all of you for the support, love and unity shown to me since I became your king in March, 2020. That spirit of our ancestors since 1480 which brought about the unity of various chiefs together at one place to form one community “Ahenfo man” – “Heman”, the common medium of communication which was Twi Language, which made other people called us Twifoͻ (Twi People) and the beautiful culture and customs that make us unique as Twi speaking people.
Let us continue in that same spirit to sustain what was handed over to us. Let us come together to develop and build a stronger and a prosperous Twifoman where peace and prosperity will be our aim. Let us not forget our history as we progress else we will not know where we are going.
I hereby invite all natives of Twifoman communities, comprising of the 52 towns and villages in the Twifo Hemang Traditional area to come together as one people and build as God be our help.
Long live Twifoman
