President John Dramani Mahama has come under intense criticism from aggrieved Kusasi youth over the escalating tensions in the Bawku area.
According to the youth, they voted overwhelmingly for Mr Mahama in the belief that his administration would resolve the longstanding Bawku conflict- a promise he made during his campaign.
However, they now accuse the President of abandoning their plight, with violence worsening and lives lost since he assumed office three months ago. "Mr President, when we heard your promise to bring a lasting solution to the Bawku conflict, we were overwhelmed with hope and thought the NDC was our saviour.
That is why Kusaug gave the NPP zero and voted massively for the NDC," the group stated at a press briefing.
