Unite your party first; Apologize to our brother Paul Afoko Before We Will Accept You”-Dagbon Youths Tell Akufo-Addo

A prominent youth group based in the Northern Region of Ghana and identified as Dagbon Youth Association has questioned how the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party , Nana Akufo-
Addo intends to unite the two
prominently feuding “Abudu” and
“Andani” factions in Yendi , when in actual and in reality, Akufo Addo has been cited in several reports as the man who orchestrated the illegal sacking of their northern brother,
National Chairman of NPP Paul Afoko for having an “independent mind”, resourcing the grassroots and fighting corruption within the NPP.Other reports has suggested
that,Akufo-Addo is the major cause of the deep seated division in the party which has left the good old NPP, fractured beyond attraction in recent times. The Association has further described Akufo-Addo’s promise as empty and one borne out of mischief, mockery and an elevation of hypocrisy
because, to them, Akufo-Addo who was an Attorney General and Justice Minister, played a lukewarm attitude against the conviction of murderers of the late Over Lord of Dagbon ,Yaana
Yakubu Andani when they called on him at that time to speed up
prosecution process. The group leader, Alhaji Innusah Tijani
Iddrisu in an interview with our
reporter, explained that “Yaana Yakubu Andani was murdered as at the time Akufo- Addo was Minister of Justice and
Attorney General , so we ask him what role did he play to ensure peace return in Dagbon as a cabinet minister? What didn’t he do to free the killers of our
Paramount chief, didn’t Akufo-Addo snub us when we called on him as at that trying moment? Yaana was murdered in a cold blood by criminals and as an attorney General and Justice Minister at that moment,
Akufo-Addo’s lackadaisical attitude towards the handling of that case was very abysmal and nothing good to write home about. As an Attorney General, Akufo-Addo failed miserably in the prosecution of the Killers of Yaana. It took then opposition National Democratic Congress led by Former President Rawlings to promise we ,Dagbon people, of Justice and the finding of those criminals who killed Yaana
Yakubu Andani. Till date we have been left to our fate. NDC who promised us rather came to
do a prosecution which leaves much to be desired as they freed the suspects in the long run; however, we are grateful to the NDC for bringing a semblance of peace in Dagbon through
the commendable efforts of Otumfour Osei Tutu” Alhaji Tijani further questioned Akufo- Addo, ” You cannot unite your party.
