The King of Dagbon, Ya-Na Abubakari, has cautioned NPP Presidential aspirant, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, to refrain from making statements that promote division and animosity towards Northern residents.
The King expressed his concern about such behaviors among politicians, which unfairly depict Northerners as inferior citizens.
This advice came during the flagbearer hopeful’s courtesy visit to the Gbewaa palace, where he informed the King of his presence in Dagbon.
Ya-Na Abubakari cited comments made by the aspirant, suggesting that a victory for Bawumia would lead to the 2024 elections being dominated by Northerners, as a cause for concern.
“I have heard you ask why the 2024 elections should be about Northerners. It was an unfortunate comment. I urge you to desist from such comments and campaign on issues. You must be prepared to support whoever the party will elect.”
On his part, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong promised to run a clean campaign devoid of tribalism.
He also added, “In 2020, I promised the Ya-Na a V8 Land-cruiser. Unfortunately, I have not been able to deliver that. I am here today to deliver a pickup to the Ya-Na to fulfil the promise I made to him during the 2020 election”.
The flagbearer hopeful is visiting the region to seek the backing of party delegates in preparation for the pivotal November 4 elections.
