You helped me to execute the agenda of the government and to tell you to continue to have faith towards peace in Dagbon,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Ziedeng said the most exciting moment in his memory was when both the Abudus and Andanis celebrated the Damba festival together in Gbewa Palace, it was peacefully and appealed to the chiefs and people of the area not to allow the peace process to slip, since development would elude them if they lived in conflict.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the forward march towards lasting peace in Dagbon development is bound to prevail and with the unique celebration of the Damba festival has presented an immeasurable goodwill from the outside world and we must reap good results of that soon,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, he had enjoyed his stay as a Regional Minister with all chiefs in Dagbon and appealed to chiefs and people of the area to extend the same cooperation to his successor to ensure that the region became an investment destination for the betterment for the lives of the people.<\/p>\n<p>The Bamvim Lana, Mohammed Abdulai commended the Minister for his leadership style, which ensured that the two Gates of Dagbon celebrated the Damba together without any confrontation and urged him to exhibit same qualities in his new region.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: GNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The immediate past Northern Regional Minister, Bede Ziedeng, has described the Northern Region as a haven of peace, investment and business development where the country could depend on for the country\u2019s economic fortunes.
