The newly reinstated Chief of Sege, Nene Nakom Namli V, has pledged to pursue an inclusive leadership approach focused on promoting unity, preserving the community's traditional heritage and accelerating development.

Nene Nakom Namli V, known in private life as Godfred Kojo Nakom, made the commitment after assuming the responsibility of serving as the fifth chief of Sege, following the resolution of a protracted chieftaincy dispute that had lasted for approximately 21 years.

Expressing gratitude to his elders for the opportunity to lead the community, the chief described his new responsibility as a privilege and assured the people of Sege of his commitment to serving them.

He explained that the chieftaincy position had traditionally been the preserve of the Nakom family. However, following the death of the fourth chief, disagreements emerged when the linguists sought to occupy the position, a development he said deviated from the established traditional arrangement.

According to Nene Nakom Namli V, the dispute was rooted in the distinction between the roles of a chief and a linguist, maintaining that the two positions are separate and cannot be interchanged.

He noted that the matter had remained unresolved for nearly 21 years before going through the Ada Traditional Council, the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs and ultimately the National House of Chiefs.

The decisions reached through these traditional institutions, he said, resulted in the reinstatement of the chieftaincy role of the Nakom family.

With the traditional leadership restored, Nene Nakom Namli V said his immediate priority would be to work closely with the elders to sustain the heritage and legacy of Sege.
