The members of parliament in the Bawku traditional area have condemned in no uncertain terms the enskinment of a purported Bawku Naaba by the Nayiri.
The mps speaking to the press in parliament have described as null and void the enskinment in the midst of a crisis that has claimed several lives. the Mps are also questioning the commitment of government in ensuring lasting peace in Bawku.
“It has come to the attention of the Members of Parliament for Bawku Central, Zebilla, Binduri, Pusiga, Timpane and Garu who include Hon Mahama Ayariga, Hon Cletus Apul Avoka, Hon Abanga Abdulai, Hon Hajia Laadi Ayii Ayamba, Hon Lydia Lamisi Akanvariba and Hon Albert Akuka Alalzuuga that the Nayiri, Naa Bohugu Mahami Abdulai Sherigah Il, has purported to enskin a rival chief for Bawku. This is unacceptable and should not come from a person of his stature.
Such purported enskinment is null and void and will not be recognized by any institution under the 1992 Constitution. The Government of Ghana must take every step to ensure the maintenance of peace and security and hold perpetrators of this criminal act accountable”.
Meanwhile, the Members of Parliament for the area call on the people of the Kusaug Traditional Area and its environs to remain calm and assure them that this unlawful conduct will not stand.
“We are watching closely the level of political will of the Government of President Nana Akufo Addo and Vice President Alhaji Mamudu Bawumia in respecting the Constitution of Ghana and the right of the Kusasi people to rule over their own land.
The Zugrana, Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II who is the Bawkunaaba and President of the Kusaug Traditional Council remains the only recognized paramount chief of the Kusaug Traditional Area as recognized by law. The conduct of the Nayiri has the potential to aggravate the already precarious security situation in Bawku”.
