Africa: Gaddafi to Be Crowned King of Kings in Accra

Information picked up by The Chronicle at press time last night indicates that the Libyan leader, Brother Muamur Al Gaddafi would be crowned King of Kings in Africa, next week in a ceremony in Accra, by chiefs in the West African sub-region.

The decision, which has the full backing of the President of Ghana's National House of Chiefs, Naa Prof. Nabila, is said to have incurred the wrath of some chiefs in Ghana, who claim they are not aware of the decision. Naa Prof. Nabila would not comment when this reporter reached him on his cell phone last night, because he would be holding a news conference in Accra today on the matter. However, his colleague chiefs insisted that they were not consulted before the decision was taken. According to them, Gaddafi is not a traditional chief and therefore they do not see why such a title should be conferred on him.
