Bawku Crises:Nayiri reiterates his commitment to lasting peace
The Overlord of Mamprugu Traditional Area, Nayiri Naa Bohugu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga has reiterated his commitment to finding a lasting peace to the protracted Bawku Chieftaincy conflict.
Following recurring violence that has rocked the area for decades, the Mamprugu Overlord who is worried about these developments that are drawing back development wants a civil approach in dealing with the matter to avert further loss of lives and properties.
“A civil approach would help avert further needless loss of lives and destruction of properties with consequent disastrous effects,” he suggested
He also indicated that issues of such nature should be settled through time-tested institutions while denying any Supreme Court ruling on the matter as was contained in a claim made by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during a meeting.
“Since my meeting with you at the Jubilee House where you told me about a Supreme Court ruling that brought finality to the Bawku Chieftaincy matter, I have been reliably informed by my lawyers that, with the greatest of respect, there was no ruling to that effect”, he said in a letter to the President.
To this end, he reiterated a civil approach to matters pertaining to the troubled area will mark the beginning of a complete peace process to restore Bawku to its lost glory.
“It is my fervent hope that that move will mark the beginning the return of peace to the restive Bawku town and its environs. I wish to assure you of my commitment to reaching out to the factions in the conflict to lay down their weapons and embrace peace,” he said in furtherance to an earlier meeting held with the President.
