VIDEO: Yagbonwura Bans Damongo MP From Visiting Any Palace In Gonjaland

Paramount chief of the Gonjaland, Yagbonwura Building-Kunuto Soale Jewu, has issued a decree banning Lands  Minister, Samuel Abdulai Jinapor from entering all palaces within the Gonja kingdom.

This decision was announced following what the Yagbonwura described as a breach of tradition and respect.

This comes after the traditional leaders in West Gonja accused the minister of interfering in traditional matters in the area.

According to them, the continuous interference of the New Patriotic Party’s Member of Parliament for the Damongo Constituency in matters that should be handled within traditional frameworks tends to cause widespread discontent and disaffection among the people.

In a press conference, the Yagbonwura’s interpreters emphasised the gravity of the situation, warning that any chief who grants Mr Jinapor entry into their palace would face severe consequences.

“The king will never grant audience to any government delegation, political party, or any person who pays him a visit once it includes Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor until he learns his tradition as a royal and learns how to respect the authority of the Yagbonwura. This statement is final and binding on all paramount chiefs within the Gonja kingdom,” he said.

Chiefs and local leaders are expected to adhere strictly to the decree, ensuring that the Yagbonwura’s authority is maintained.

Some of the angry youth hoisted the inscriptions “Abu Jinapor, enough of your selfishness and arrogance’ and ‘No more undermining of traditional authority’ among others.
