]]> The Andani Royals today [Tuesday] observed the 16th Anniversary of the demise of the late overlord of Dagbon, Yaa- Naa Yakubu Andani II, who died on March 27, 2002.

As part of lined-up activities, they organized a special Quranic recitation and climaxed it with a news conference.

They renewed calls for the apprehension and prosecution of those who caused the late Dagbon overlord’s death.

The Spokesman, Basharu Alhassan Dabal-li in a Citi News interview, maintained that they have been denied justice for far too long.

According to him, successive governments have acted in bad faith by ignoring their incessant demand for justice.

He expressed the family’s dissatisfaction with the delay in bringing the perpetrators to book saying, “It is indeed very strange that this horrifying act of state-sponsored terror unleashed on innocent civilians was never investigated neither was anyone arrested or held to account for this monumental crime.”

Basharu Alhassan Dabal-li advised government to respect the customs and traditions of the Dagbon traditional area.

He condemned a recent attempt by some Abudus youth to occupy the old Gbewaa Palace Yendi.

He served notice that the family will no longer tolerate any acts of impunity and asked the law enforcement agencies there to be extra vigilant.

Basharu Alhassan Dabal-li further implored government to be mindful of “Chieftaincy contractors” meddling in the Dagbon chieftaincy stalemate.

“We urge the Akufo-Addo-led administration and its appointees to avoid engaging the services of groups or individuals outside the framework of Dagbon traditional authority,” he said.

“Such individuals or groups are basically chieftaincy contractors who benefit from the protracted conflict in the area. Dagbon has an unwritten constitution, embedded in its traditional and customary practices.”

Basharu Alhassan Dabal-li urged “government and its appointees to stop their blatant political interferences in the Dagbon chieftaincy matters and rather use their good offices to facilitate the work of the legitimate custodians of Dagbon traditions and customs. And the head of the custodians of these traditions and customs, who is also the most senior member of the elders of Dagbon and the head of the Judicial Council of Dagbon is the Kug’ Naa.”

The demise of the late overlord of Dagbon has since heightened the feud between Abudu and Andani royals.

The Regent of Dagbon, Kampakuya-Naa, Yakubu Abdulai Andani, has charted a new path to what he calls genuine reconciliation and unity in Dagbon.

The Dagbon Regent amply demonstrated his commitment to this course when he paid a courtesy call on the Regent of Tolon, Retired Major Sulemana Abubakari at his palace.

[contextly_sidebar id=”BiAMtrkYY2SbouDja60cIUEmCybdXHPO”]Peace loving royals of the Abudu and Andani gates in a Citi News interview commended the Kampakuya-Naa Yakubu Abdulai Andani for that historic visit.

According to them, the dialogue is a calculated attempt to amicably resolve the age-long chieftaincy stalemate between the Abudu and Andani gates in Dagbon.

The Dagbon Regent, Kampakuya-Naa Abdulai Andani has always admonished politicians do decouple their partisan interest from the Dagbon chiefdom.

His standpoint is that, political interference in Dagbon chieftaincy matters continue to disunite Dagombas on Abudus and Andani lines.

Tolon Regent, Major Retired Sulemana Abubakari

Major Retired Sulemana Abubakari in 2015 on the occasion of the Damba festival, exclusively in a Citi News interview questioned the locus of the three eminent chiefs committee headed by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, whose task is to amicably resolve the protracted Dagbon chieftaincy dispute.

The Tolon Regent is convinced the Otumfuo Mediation Committee is cosmetic on the face value in its attempt to permanently resolve the Dagbon chieftaincy dispute.

As a leading member of the Abudu gates’s representation at the Manhyia palace, Major Retired Sulemana Abubakari underscored the need for the Abudu and Andani royals to trace their history to help them address the root cause of the disputes.

He proposed that either the overlord of Mamprugu Traditional Area or the overlord of Nanung Traditional who understand Dagbon tradition should be made to head the mediation committee to solve the feud.

He was confident that a new chapter could be opened if only the Abudu and Andani Royals will rekindle their ancestral roots.

The Regent of Dagbon, Kampakuya-Naa Yakubu Andani’s recent visit has justified the Tolon Regent’s earlier call for the two royals to rekindle their ancestral roots.
