Help resolve Bawku crisis as you did in Dagbon – President Akufo-Addo appeals to Otumfuo
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is seeking the intervention of the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in resolving the Bawku crisis. He mentioned the extraordinary role the Asantehene played in securing peace in Dagbon and expressed the hope that the King would be able to play a similar mediation role in Bawku.
President Akufo-Addo was speaking at a dinner held at the Claridge’s Hotel Brook Street Mayfair London W1K 4HR on May 6, 2023 to mark the 73rd birthday of the Asantehene. The event took place after the President and Otumfuo had attended the coronation of King Charles III earlier in the day at Westminster Abbey.
