A former Northern Regional Minister, Prince Imoro Andani has called for the amendment of the Dagbon constitution.<\/p>\n
He in a Citi News interview argued that the Dagbon constitution is flawed, hence his call for its amendment.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”Q0e4edvfv2tNZbspN3RJego9HMeDd2ma”]\u201cThe critical thing to look at now is the constitution of Dagbon because in my candid opinion our constitution is the main source of conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a royal, Prince Imoro Andani is convinced that amending the Dagbon constitution could make succession to the Dagbon paramountcy rotational.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn our system it is only your direct father that you cannot compete or contest a kingship with: you can contest with your uncle, you can contest with your elder brother, anybody you can contest with.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to come out and put our constitution on a modernized path so that we will begin to enskin chiefs by families and so a family will present a candidate like we have in the case of the Mamprusis where you have the gates, Naashariga and so forth: we have to look at our constitution and we have to look at it devoid of political interest,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n
Prince Imoro Andani however lauded government\u2019s determination to perform the funerals of the late two overlords of Dagbon, Yaa-Naa Mahamadu Abdulai and that of Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II.<\/p>\n
He thus inspired government to ignore chieftaincy contractors and fully implement any roadmap which will restore the dignity of Dagbon Kingdom.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe President has lived all his life here, the President is even more of a Dagomba than a Gonja and so he understands the situation: I think that is in the right direction that funerals are performed and then we move to the next level as a process.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that is wrong to be against the process we need to have Dagbon be a solid Kingdom: those who think that the performance of the funeral is not right I think that they are thinking in the wrong direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
He advised government to remain steadfast. \u201cGovernment should not yield to individual or parochial interest because if we don\u2019t perform the funerals we will continue to live in this condition.”<\/p>\n
“We wouldn\u2019t have come of age in that barbaric attitude if funerals were performed and so we have to face the bull by its horn\u201d he posited.<\/p>\n
