A member of the Hogbetsotso Planning Committee revealed what he thinks caused Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president, to receive jeers over the weekend in the Volta Region of Nortsie in Togo, who used to walk backwards to flee from the oppressive ruler Agorkorli. The people established this yearly "Festival of the Exodus" as a way to remember the exodus and the courage of their traditional leaders who guided them on the trek.
Activities
The festival is marked by a number of ceremonies, including one where all unresolved issues are expected to be settled. The traditional stool is being purified during this time, and there is also a general cleaning period during which the communities are swept and trash is burned. It takes days for this cleaning ritual to travel from the Volta Estuary to the Mono River in the Republic of Benin. A gathering of the chiefs and people is such an important aspect of the event, chiefs sitting in state while wearing exceedingly colorful regalia and receiving respect from their subjects. The entire festival is filled with singing, dancing, and general good times. The main durbar is always held in Anloga, the traditional residence of the Anlo-speaking Ewes in the Volta Region, on the first Saturday of November.
The durbar is an important component of the seven-day Hogbetsotso celebration, which honors the Anlo-Ewes' migrated from the old walled city of Notsie in modern-day Northern Togo to their current settlement. They said that they were traveling "backwards" to avoid their foes who may pursue them after they had escaped the rule of the evil King Agorkoli during the festival's finale, which included drumming and dancing to the song "Husago."
The occasion assembles all of the Anlo-land chiefs and elders gathered in a vibrant durbar to commemorate the yearly celebration in the Volta Region.
Before the Vice President arrived, viewers were warned not to "embarrass any invited dignitary," according to Agbotadua Kumasah.
However, Mr. Kumasah claimed that the audience lost control when Dr. Bawumia started recounting some fictitious accomplishments that the current administration had scored in their
"People cheered the Asantehene and Kwahumahene when they spoke, vice president of the republic of Ghana Dr.Bawumia applauded the harmony Asanteman when he first began to speak.
