Gã Mantse is the title of the Ghanaian king of the Gã Traditional Area in the southern part of Ghana, where the Ga-Adangbe people dwell with Accra as the capital city. The Ga-Dangbe, Gã-Daŋbɛ, Ga-Dangme, or GaDangme are an ethnic group in Ghana, Togo and Benin. The current Ga Mantse is King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II known in private life as Dr Kelvin Nii Tackie Abia, a prosperous entrepreneur, who was duly sworn in by the Ga Paramount Stool Dzasetse (Principal Kingmaker) Dr Nii Tetteh Kwei II , a host of Dzasefoi (Kingmakers) and other traditional leaders as per customary and traditional demands.[1]
The Ashanti King Visit[edit]
On Sunday, June 9, 2024, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, visited the King of the Ga State, Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teko Tsuru II, at the Ga Mantse Palace in Accra. The visit was part of activities commemorating a historic visit by the King of Asante. This marks only the second time an Asante monarch has visited a Ga King, the first visit occurring in 1946. The event comes after Ga Mantse recently attended the 25th-anniversary celebration[2] of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's ascension to the throne and his 74th birthday celebration. The Asantehene emphasized the imperative for the Ga and Ashanti peoples to unite in advancing our communities. He urged all Ga chiefs to rally behind Nii Teiko Tsuru II, highlighting that unity and development should be our primary goals for the betterment of future [3]generations. Otumfuo also contributed GH¢500,000.00 to the Ga Education Fund.[4][5][1]
The Ga Mantse expressed profound gratitude to Otumfuo for honoring his invitation and called for unity among the chiefs in the Ga State.[4]
