The Greater Accra Regional Minster, Hon. Henry Quartey has rendered an unqualified apology to Gborbu Wulomo and Overlord of the Gadangme, Wor-Lumor Nuumo Borketey Larweh Tsuru XXXIII for interfering in the customary and traditional practice of the Gadangme as far as ban on drumming and noise making are concerned.

He therefore, entreated fellow Wulomoi and all traditional office holders in the Gadangme state to remain resolute since the Regional Minister has shown leadership and pledges allegiance to promote and sustain the tradition, customs and rites.
“We have all seen the contribution of the Minister in the socio-economic development of the Ga people so we encourage him to continue to uphold the tradition in high esteem” .
The Overlord of Gadangme however, appealed to Hon.Henry Quartey ensure that Gadangme teachers are posted within the region for effective teaching and learning of the language and customs.
