'I vow to collaborate with the Dufia, Togbi Sarbah IV, to cultivate a future where every child in Dzita has the opportunity to thrive.' Togbi Agbesi Awusu, the Chairman, reaffirmed his support for Togbi Awlavi and pledged to work towards a unified Anlo to ensure success for Anlo Dukor (state) and for all Ewes and the country at large.
