banned political activities<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the town until the Fulani crisis is resolved.<\/p>\nResidents of Agogo have accused the Fulani herdsmen who take care of their cattle in the town of destroying their farms, maiming and killing their relatives.<\/p>\n
According to the Chairman of AYASS, Emmanuel Buabeng, the decision to ban political activities in the area is because the Fulani issue has been politicized and that the only way to have the crisis addressed quickly, is to take politics out of it.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cWe have realized that flushing out the Fulani herdsmen is becoming political and some politicians are mischievously making ill-comments and downplaying the effort of the ring leaders. Therefore, we ban all political activities be it fanfares, campaign or rallies until the last cattle leaves Agogo land,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the MP, who has been very vocal on the Fulani crisis in a\u00a0Citi News<\/strong>\u00a0interview argued that rather than\u00a0finding faults with the Agogo youth, the Fulani menace should be resolved.<\/p>\n\u201cI think if the youth are saying that they are not going to participate in such events, I think it\u2019s their own prerogative and we can\u2019t coerce them. The purpose of this statement that they are making is something we should all look at and find out how we can address the issue instead of criticizing them or finding faults with their position,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
