The Angel FM Morning Show team has paid a courtesy call to the Benkum Kyeame of the Benkum Division of the Akuapem Traditional Area, Nana Yaw Moosi Boateng II, as part of their out broadcast activities in Akropong Akuapem.
The team donated two cartons of Adonko Next Level and Adonko Bitters, to the Benkum Kyeame.
They were warmly welcomed by the chief and his council of elders after a brief introduction.
This marks Day 2 of the ABN’s visit to the Eastern Region, specifically Akuapem-Akropong, amidst the ongoing celebration of the 2021 Odwira Festival.
Nana Yaw Moosi Boateng II represents the people of Larteh, Manfe, Obosomase, Abotekyi among others and settles disputes among them while keeping peace and development within the traditional area.
While responding to a question about the hometown of the President, the chief said that President Akufo-Addo actually hails from Akuapem Akropong since that is where his father Edward Akufo-Addo comes from.
“It is the president’s mother who comes from Kyebi”, he said.
He added that but for school reasons, the President’s father would have been a chief.
The team later went round to witness the various traditions associated with the Odwira Festival including firing of guns into the air, feeding of the ancestors and pouring of libation among others.
Angel FM’s flagship morning show, the Anopa Bofo Morning Show was broadcast live from the town yesterday and today with the regular team led by Kofi Adoma Nwanwani and supported by Nana Yaa Brefo and Kwamena Sam-Biney.
The theme for this year’s Odwira Festival is “Oneness Through our Heritage”
This is a partnership with local based radio station Okoman FM.
