After surviving a car accident, Ga Mantse hosts a Thanksgiving service.
Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II thanks God and urges unification of the country.
On Sunday, April 26, 2026, the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, attended a liturgy at Holy Trinity Cathedral to give thanks to God for saving his life in a recent traffic accident in the Oti Region.
While returning to Accra from a private visit to the Yaa Naa earlier this year, the traditional ruler was involved in an accident. He was taken to the University of Ghana Medical Center after the event, where he was treated.
A sizable crowd of dignitaries, including family members, government representatives, traditional leaders, and well-wishers, attended the thanksgiving service to express gratitude for the Ga Mantse’s survival and recuperation.
During the ceremony, Rt. Rev. Dr. Abraham Opare Kwaakye, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, gave a speech in which he thanked God for keeping the King alive. Additionally, he praised the Ga Mantse for his outstanding leadership and commitment to the Ga people.
Deputy Chief of Staff Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, speaking on behalf of the President, emphasized the important contribution the Ga Mantse has made to the advancement of the country. She pointed out that important national decisions had been shaped by his advice throughout the years.
The Ga Mantse conveyed his sincere gratitude to God for saving his life in his speech. To create a more powerful and peaceful country, he urged Ghanaians to be together.
Ayikoi Otoo, a former Ghanaian ambassador to Canada, also spoke at the occasion and advised all users of the road, particularly drivers, to drive carefully and responsibly. He emphasized that cautious driving is essential to lowering the nation’s growing number of traffic accidents.
In addition to being a time of gratitude, the Thanksgiving ceremony provided a forum for raising awareness of traffic safety and national unity. Many Ghanaians view the Ga Mantse’s survival as evidence of divine protection and a call to introspection.
