Seidu Abagre Should Report to Nalerigu to be Reassigned By Nayiri or Remain in Bawku as Ordinary Citizen- Asantehene

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, has proposed the return of Mr Seidu Abagre, to Nalerigu to be reassigned a new role by the overlord of Mamprugu, Tiduguma Nayiri, Naa Bohagu Abdulai Mahami Sheriga.

Otumfuo noted that he also has the option of remaining in Bawku where he was purportedly enskinned Bawku Naba as an ordinary citizen.

This, Otumfuo said was a requirement for the final resolution of the Bawku conflict.

Otumfuo while presenting the report on his mediation in the dispute recommended that the Nayiri acceptAbugrago Azoka as the Bawku Naba as stipulated by the 1992 Constitution.

His Majesty disclosed that he had been candid stating that the Nayiri’s purported enskinment of Mr Seidu Abagre as Bawku Naba cannot stand.

“I believe my brother the Nayiri has come to terms with the difficulty that it will pose a challenge to the lasting peace which he desires.”

The Asantehene further revealed that he had, from the inception restrained both the erstwhile Akufo-Addo government nad current Mahama administration from effecting the arrest of Mr Seidu Abagre out of respect for his brother the Nayiri.

His Majesty as part of his recommendations called for enforcement of the law which recognises Asigri Abugrago Azoka.

This, Otumfuo noted, must be enforced by the government of the Republic of Ghana until there is a change in accordance with the 1992 Constitution or a review of the Supreme Court ruling.

The Asantehene therefore emphasised that the government deals sternly with anyone challenging the lawful authority of Asigri Abugrago Azoka.

“This is critical to the restoration and maintenance of peace in the Kusasi Traditional Area.”
