Stop interfering in Dagbon crisis-Asantehene
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has called on the two largest political parties in the country to desist from interfering in the Dagbon dispute.
The Asantehene at a burbar to mark the 40th anniversary of the enstoolment of the Juabenhene, Nana Otuo Siriboe II, blamed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the difficulty in resolving the Dagbon crisis.
He said while the Committee of Eminent Chiefs, which he chaired, spent time and energy to work to help bring peace to Dagbon, politicians from the two parties continuously fueled the fires for political gains.
The Asantehene took the opportunity to express concern that while the NDC said they were for the Andanis, the NDC insisted they supported the Abudus.
“I want to stress that politicians can never resolve this protracted Dagbon chieftaincy crisis and they better stay behind to allow the traditional rulers and the Dagbon people themselves to resolve the matter,” he said.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II pointed out that but for the negative activities of politicians; his committee would have put the issue to rest by now.
Mincing no words about the headache politicians were giving him over the Dagbon crisis, he said it was time for them to back off, stressing that he could not continue to play a leading role in the settlement process if the situation persisted.
