President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has appealed to all sons and daughters of Dagbon to unite behind the new Ya-Naa, Mahama Abukari II, describing him as a man of experience and dignity who would discharge the duties of his new office with distinction.

Speaking at the enskinment and outdooring ceremony of the new Ya-Naa at the Gbewaa Palace, in Yendi, on Friday, 25th January, 2019, President Akufo-Addo urged all to give Ya-Naa Mahama Abukari II all the support he requires, as he sets to administer the affairs of the state of Dagbon.

“Naa, I know you are a man of peace and unity. I know, from a few decisions you have taken since your selection as Ya-Naa, you are a man of reconciliation. I believe you are the man to reconcile Dagbon, and blunt the age-old rivalry of Abudu versus Andani, and put Dagbon back on the path to sustained progress and prosperity, as was envisaged by one of the greatest figures in the history of Dagbon, the 18th Ya-Naa, Naa Zangina,” the President said.

Describing the enskinment as “a truly historic ceremony”, President Akufo-Addo stated that the ceremony should put to rest a long struggle over the rulership of Dagbon, which ostensibly brought in its wake death, destruction and retrogression of the Dagbon State.

“For me, as President of the Republic, I feel a sense of excitement because it is under my tenure of office that Dagbon, hopefully, finally, finds the path to lasting peace,” he added.

In admonishing citizens of Dagbon, President Akufo-Addo urged them to bear in mind that there would be a small minority who would not be happy with the new status quo.

He explained that there are a handful of malcontents who have benefited, for a long time, from the conflict, and never wanted to see its end.

“We are not to rest on our oars and assume that every citizen of Dagbon is elated about the new peace and the enskinment of a new Ya-Naa. Indeed, there is a new term for people who profit from conflict. They are called, “conflict-preneurs.” We have to be resolute in warding off such people by strengthening the process of reconciliation amongst the people of Dagbon,” the President said.

He continued, “We are not to fear the strategy of our enemies, but our own mistakes. Dagbon does not have to fear an external enemy. Dagbon is a great state, one of the most ancient traditional states of our history. It has survived many marauding forces, and repelled many enemies. Dagbon can only be brought to its knees by internal malcontents, and it is our collective duty and in our collective interest to fend them off.”

Development of Dagbon

President Akufo-Addo noted that the newly found peace in Dagbon is already bring in its wake “good things.”

He disclosed that Cabinet, last week, approved a $30 million water supply project that would replace the old and dilapidated water system in Yendi and its catchment area.

“My Government is working to put in place the infrastructure that will allow us to exploit the iron ore deposits in Sheini. On the back of that exploitation, we shall put a railway line to run from Accra through the Volta Region and the new Oti Region and through Yendi to Burkina Faso,” the President added.

Upon the completion of these projects, the President anticipates Yendi becoming a hub for trade and commerce, explaining that “this will bring considerable prosperity to the people of Yendi, and help eradicate the poverty that gives the Northern Region the unenviable title of being one of the poorest regions of our country.”

To the new Ya-Naa, President Akufo-Addo made a commitment to him, stating that he do everything in his power, as President of the Republic, to assist him to administer the State of Dagbon in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

“As I have said before, I am neither Abudu nor Andani, I am an ‘Abudani’, a person who stands for unity, reconciliation and progress in Dagbon,” he added.

Names written in gold

The President congratulated, again, the Committee of Eminent Chiefs brilliantly chaired by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, together with the Overlord of Mamprugu, the Nayiri, Naa Bohugu Abdulai Mahami Sheriga, and the Overlord of the Gonja State, the Yagbonwura, Tuntumba Boresa Sulemana Jakpa, for their untiring efforts in bringing us this far.

He also applauded the wisdom of the 2nd President of the 4th Republic, His Excellency John Agyekum Kufuor’s decision to establish the Committee of Eminent Chiefs as far back as 2002, in order to find the instrument to deal with the crisis in Dagbon in accordance with customary laws and usages, stressing that “his decision has been vindicated.”

To all the chiefs and members of the Andani and Abudu Royal families, especially the recent Regents, Yakubu Abdulai Andani, formerly the Kampakuya Na, and Abdulai Mahamadu, formerly the Bolin Lana, President Akufo-Addo stated that “you have written your names in gold for your constructive contribution to the success of today’s events, and when the chronicles of Dagbon are written and told to generations unborn, you shall each be mentioned with pride.”

The President was hopeful and expectant that the new Ya-Naa will move quickly to accord Yakubu Abdulai Andani, formerly the Kampakuya Na, and Abdulai Mahamadu, formerly the Bolin Lana their rightful positions in the State of Dagbon to seal the process of reconciliation.
