Prof Gyampo Applauds Akufo Addo's Boldness in Resolving Dagbon Conflict
President Akufo Addo deserves some commendation. The road map towards peace in Dagon has been fully implemented and Dagon has selected a new Overlord.
Well done, Mr President. This is a good LEGACY that can not be glossed over by the right thinking people in society.
We can not lose sight of the role of JA Kuffour in putting together the eminent chiefs by Otumfuor to resolve the conflict. Prof Mills and President Mahama also did what they could in creating some fertile ground for dialogue.
But the intense commitment, audacious boldness, tampered with tactfulness exhibited by President Akufo Addo, both visibly and behind the scenes, for the purposes of ensuring peace in Dagbon, stands out among his predecessors in dealing with the crisis in Dagbon.
Mr President, this is a good legacy worth celebrating. A legacy that can not be reached by any diet that succeeds you. A legacy that would outlive your name. A legacy that may be envied but can not be destroyed by political opponents.
Mr. President, please let the year 2019 be full of such legacies that the divisive flames of winner-takes-all politics, creates national cohesion and resolves conflict through dialogue, tolerance, peace and political accommodation.
Congratulations once again to President Akufo Addo, and to form Presidents, Otumfour and his eminent chiefs, and the good people of Dagbon.
Congratulations, also to the chiefs and people of Dagbon. We watched your colorful culture displayed during the funeral rites.
Typical of any human society, I know how to deal with the world of affairs. For, in any meaningful conflict resolution, one can not win all and not all lose all.
Long Live Dagbon, Long Live Ghana
