Women at Bodada in the Buem Jasikan municipality of the Oti Region have urged traditional rulers to bury their hatchet and live peacefully to foster growth in the locality.
According to the women, the recent chieftaincy dispute between the Opamwa clan after the installation and outdooring of Nana Aburam Akpandja V as the Paramount chief for the Buem Traditional Council is retarding development.

She noted that, the people of Buem and Bodada are aware that the chieftaincy issue at stake is at Hohoe High Court and Oti Regional House of Chiefs therefore are ready to accept the verdict from the court and the House of Chiefs for lasting peace, unity and development of Buem.
She warned that, the Women Advocate Group and residents of Bodada would not tolerate any factions, or groups of persons who claim to be the solicitors of Buem Traditional Council at Bodada to breach the peace of the area.
Nana Boatemaa III Ankobeahemaa of Buem Traditional Council also said the recent misunderstanding which is being instigated by some individual chiefs is affecting their developmental needs.
