In a deeply emotional interview on UTV monitored by MyNewsGh, politician Stephen Atubiga broke down in tears as he spoke about the devastating impact of the long-running conflict in Bawku.

Visibly shaken, Atubiga said the situation has reached a point where he feels ashamed to identify as a native of the town. "If it were up to me, I would change my identity and take an Akan name," he said, his voice trembling with emotion.

Struggling to hold back tears, Atubiga described the pain of watching a town already deprived of basic infrastructure continue to destroy itself over a chieftaincy dispute. "It is not worth dying for.

Nothing about this fight makes sense anymore," he added.
