The Paramount Chief stated that the palace will avail itself to participate in their activities so long as they were informed on time as well as serve as a monitoring and evaluation body for the group.
Togbega further urged the group to avoid internal conflicts that could lead to disbandment of the Association, adding that “all members need to give their best for the advancement of the Association of Peki.”
