flag The Ga Traditional Council has blocked the Igbo Yam Festival set for September 21, 2025, in Accra, citing concerns over cultural sovereignty, peace, and security. flag Organized by Igbo leader Eze Dr Amb Chukwudi Jude Ihenetu, the event was scheduled at Efua Sutherland Children’s Park. flag The council, led by Ga Mantse Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, stated it had received an invitation but argued the festival violated a prior warning against importing external cultural traditions into the Ga State. flag The decision reflects ongoing tensions between traditional authorities and diasporic communities in Ghana’s capital, with the outcome likely to depend on government intervention to balance cultural expression and regional stability.
