Nana-Addo congratulates new Ya-Naa Abubakari Mahama
President Nana Addo Akufo-Addo has congratulated the people of Dagbon for working to bring to an end decades of division in the area.

The President in his statement also congratulated the Andani and Abudu Royal families for successfully ensuring that the funerals of Ya-Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV and Ya-Naa Yakubu Andani II were held peacefully.
The President did not leave out the committee of eminent chiefs chaired by the Asantehene Otumfuo Tutu II whose job was to ensure a successful and peaceful funeral rite of the Ya-Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV and Ya-Naa Yakubu Andani II.
“The people of Dagbon, especially the Andani and Abudu Royal families, are to be congratulated for this achievement, and for ensuring that the funerals of Ya-Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV and Ya-Naa Yakubu Andani II were held and concluded peacefully, bringing us to this very happy day.
“I thank the Committee of Eminent Chiefs chaired by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, together with the Overlord of Mamprugu, the Nayiri, Naa Bohugu Abdulai Mahami Sheriga, and the Overlord of the Gonja Kingdom, the Yagbonwura, Tuntumba Boresa Sulemana Jakpa, for working so hard and with such determination to help us realise this memorable occasion.

For all those who don't understand, conflict resolution is not a nine day wonder. As rightly said by JDM, it took the efforts of successive governments and all the stakeholders in the matter to arrive at a solution. The fact that the road map to peace was finally achieved in Nana Addo's tenure doesn't mean it was his individual effort. NPP ignoramus will never learn. Always regard Nana as a tin god, the all knowing, the wise. God bless all those who through their efforts finally restored peace in Dagban.
it is a shame for Mahama to even speak on the subject. i congratulate the quality leadership that brought this change. it takes a wonderful leader to bring this about. i doff my hat for Nana. May he reign for long or else Mahama would create another war for them.
Nana be di sika )toso baako wo se den? You're happy? aaa JM paa wo ani wo asem. me ne wo a nka me nkasa.
Why Mahama did not congratulate Nana Addo. Shame
shame-less, incompetent, hypocrite. this is how best i can describe the ford bribe taker
@Gunduzi. The kinds like you are living in either abject self-deceit, ill-informed, or political propaganda and the likes. You should even know that Dagbang is infinitesimally bigger than any of these and you have to wiseup else .... The Andanis of Dagbang know the true killers of Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani. When Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani boasted he will turn Yendi upside down, where were you? You sang to his praise just like the Sagnarigulana and Nyankpal'lana did barely two weeks ago, and God vindicated the innocent Abudus and showed them their smoothness level. They are now mocked as "killers of innocent youth" and "RUNAWAY Chiefs" You can even see that the well cultured Andanis are being fought against by your likes. You are to be pitied. Repent for your own future else God will unleash His wrath on you one after the other.
NDC and jealousy. Something that you had the opportunity to do but because you were benefiting from it politically, you ignored them and now another leader has done it and you are trying every means possible to share the glory with NANA AKUFFO ADDO.The people of Dagbon know who has them at heart.It is not you who will say it.They believed your lies for 17 years and have now seen the light.CONGRATULATION AND THANK NANA AKUFFO ADDO.The people of Dagbon are forever grateful.
hypocrites. it's open secret evil npp killed Yaa naa just as they have killed Ahmed suale of tiger eye. we should rather be praising otumfour for dagbon kingdom resolution not that clueless ***barred word*** thing we call a president.
@gunduzi, since u knew the people behind the killings, why didn't u present your evidence when they were requesting for them? In fact, u can still do since crime has no expiry date. Jealousy will kill people!!
@ gunduzi wat a ***barred word***.
