Minister for Information, Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah believes the resolution of the impasse between the Abudu and Andani families was made possible by the fact that President Akufo-Addo impressed on both families he is “Abudani”; who belongs to both sides.
Speaking on Okay FM’s "Ade Akye Abia" Morning Show, Hon. Oppong Nkrumah averred that it took the confidence and the trust the two parties reposed in President Akufo-Addo to understand the need to come to a compromise to end the conflict.
“If you want to settle dispute between two families, the first thing to do is that the parties must have confidence and trust in you that you are not biased...when you talk to them, what they say is that when President Akufo-Addo met the two families, he told them he is neither Abudu nor Andani be he his Abudani...he told them he does not support any faction in the chieftaincy dispute and so they had confidence in him to solve the dispute and ensured that the two families compromised in the resolution,” he asserted.
He reiterated that even though nobody dictated to the Eminent Chiefs on how to do their work, the position of the President, urging the two parties to compromise for progress to prevail and with unbiased “Abudani” comment helped to finally end the decade-old impasse.
“...these two things, the two parties having confidence in the President due to his unbiased statement and the truth that compromise is the way out, helped in cementing the peace at Dagbon after 16 years of chieftaincy dispute”, he claimed.
The Information Minister showered praises on the Committee of the three Eminent Chiefs, Asantehene Otumfour Osei Tutu II, the Nayiri-Mahamid Sheriga and the Yagbonwura Tuntumba Boresa I for their roles played in seeing to it that the Dagbon conflict was successfully resolved.

@AMA, INFACT YOUR ANALYSIS IS SUPER AND ACCURATE, OTUMFOUR SAID AKUFO ADDO SHD NOT BE GIVEN ANY ACCAOLADES OR APPLAUDES BCOS HE WAS NOT PART OF THE PEACE SETTLEMENT OF THE DAGBON PEOPLE, HE IS ONLY LUCKY TO BE THE SITTING PRESIDENT OF THE ENSKINNMENT OF THE NEW DAGBON CHIEF. URSULA OWUSU ON HER FB PAGE WAS SHOWERING PRAISES TO NANA THAT HE IS A WAY MAKER, MIRACLE WORKER, PROMISE KEEPER, AND WENT TO CALL AHEAD TO CALL NANA ABUDANI AKUFO ADDO ETC.. THE QUESTION I ASKED MYSELF WAS MIRACLE WORKER IN WHAT... THE FAILING FREE SHS OR THE NABCO DISASTER?
Between the appointment of the Eminent Chiefs and the recent Investiture of the Ya Naa, what role has any President of the Republic played? What role did the late Professor Mills and former President Mahama play in the Dagbon issue? The did 'fooko"
I THINK THE NEW TRIBE THAT HAS EMERGED FROM THIS PEACE TALKS WILL POSITIVELY SUSTAIN THE PEACE. WHAT IS THIS NEW TRIBE? ABUDANI.
PHONY @ama. The hate speech will not bring you any food. Get a life and live it.
The conflictpreneurs are at it again.Every election their message to Dagbon was WHO KILLED YAA NAA?.They were in power for 8 years and they could not jail an ant for killing yaa naa.They only recognised the kampukuya naa. Now the man is irrelevant and they are looking to reap where they did not sow.ask them why they did not attend the funeral of the ABUDUS?
You have seen that during his (prez) speech he was smiling because he knew that if he jokes he will see the rough of the people since he was AG by then before such event happened.
"Secret" Formula In Resolving Dagbon Conflict from where? Look Dagbon people are wiser than him, because he Prez was A.G by then before those events happened, so they don't what would happen again now he is the boss, that is why they choose to resolve their own peace, so your prez does not deserve any credit at all, he knew it himself
Who told you that your president is not bias? then why he always appointing his sole families to head institution? Unless you tell me that he is not on top of his job and someone somewhere is doing those appointment on his behalf. Nnoonseens?
Ama or what ever you call yourself you are very ***barred word*** what will you be benefiting for writing this ***barred word*** comments or it's it because mahama could not do why this envy
