Bawku is in the news for the wrong reasons again, as a community once rich in culture and tradition grapples with internal strife and leadership challenges.
Amidst this turmoil, the role of traditional leadership has come under intense scrutiny.
Dauda Jawara Salifu, the spokesperson for the Mamprusi in Bawku and a member of the Nayiri Legal Team, recently spoke out against calls for the removal of Chief Abagre Seidu, emphasizing the profound implications such actions could have on the community's social fabric. "Don't forget that he is a father, grandfather, head of family, head of clan, and his spiritual and wise guidance is needed by his people," Salifu emphasized.
His words resonate deeply in a culture where respect for elders and leadership is foundational.
