Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramanai Mahama has urged the people of Bawku to be calm and resort to peaceful mechanisms in addressing their concerns.
He said the conflict was only going to disturb the peace they are enjoying in the area, something they should not allow themselves to be used as agents to destroy.
“Recently I’ve been hearing some things happening in Bawku that appear to be threatening to disturb the peace there. I want to appeal to the people of Bawku area and all those who are stakeholders there to exercise patience, restraint,” he pleaded.
The former President shared his insinuation of some sinister persons who are fueling the conflict in the area in their interest. He called on the people to remain calm, assuring them that an incoming NDC government will ensure peace prevails in Bawku and its environs.
“We know that there are some sinister hands who are trying to stoke the fires of ethnic conflict. They should not allow themselves to be provoked to violence and so please, the people of Bawku area I’m begging you, I’m pleading with you, remain calm, be restraint, don’t resort to conflict.
“NDC is coming, when we come, we’ll make sure there is peace in Bawku and surrounding areas,” he stated.
