Former Deputy Secretary of the (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen, has called on President to apologise to the people of Bawku for comments he made during his campaign tour ahead of the 2024 general elections.
According to him, the statements have worsened tensions in Bawku, causing more harm than the peace many believe exists in the area. "I expect Mahama to apologise for the comment he made during his campaign in the area ahead of the election because it has escalated the crisis. "The conflict has been on for more than 100 years, so people should desist relating it to the (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC)," he said Earlier, President Mahama said the Bawku conflict halts anytime the NDC takes over the administration of the country. "If you look at the history, you will find that anytime NDC is in government, there is peace in Bawku and surrounding areas.
As soon as we hand over to our brothers, then trouble starts," he said.
Mahama made the statements while seeking votes, stating that ensuring peace in Bawku would be a top priority for his government.
