Dormaahene Defends Asantehene Against Criticism Over Bawku Mediation Efforts

The Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr Agyemang Badu II, has called for an end to the insults directed at the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, following the release of a mediation report concerning the ongoing Bawku conflict. The Dormaahene emphasized the significance of the Asantehene's role in this complex mediation process, which was initiated by both former President Akufo-Addo and President Mahama. He urged critics to recognize the Asantehene's efforts aimed at resolving the protracted disputes between the Mamprusi and Kusasi factions. The mediation report notably recommends the legal recognition of Zugraan Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II as the Bawku Naba, underscoring the necessity of adhering to the rule of law in matters of traditional authority. The Dormaahene's remarks highlight the importance of constructive dialogue and respect for leadership in the pursuit of peace in Bawku.
