The chief made this demand when he paid a call on the Mayor of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), Alfred Oko Vanderpuije.
In his submission, Nii Kpakpo Oti IV said if the state empowers chiefs by roping them in into the local governance system, the nation will experience massive development.
“It is time that as a nation, we do away with excessive partisan politics in our local governance if we desire to progress steadily in the direction of responsible self -development,” he said.
