The Paramount Chief for the Bawku Traditional Area, Zug-Raan Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II, has called on the people of Bawku to aggressively pursue the cause of peace and tranquility as they usher in the new year (2025).
He said the protracted conflict had dealt a huge blow to the progress of Bawku and its environs, and that, it was only proper the youth and elders in the area charted a progressive path to deliberately and consciously consolidate peace in the area.
This, he believed, was the only way to restore permanent calm, after hundreds of people had been killed, with many others fleeing the area in the wake of the long-running local power struggle.
The Zug-Raan was speaking at the occasion of a joint celebration of his 40th anniversary and the 37th Samanpiid marked in Bawku of the Upper East Region, Tuesday (December 31, 2024).
