In his address to the assembly members and the gathering, the newly confirmed District Chief Executive (DCE) for Zabzugu District, George Lakoba Tanie, expressed his deepest gratitude to the Chiefs, people of Zabzugu District, and key stakeholders for their unwavering support. He specifically thanked the Hon. Regional Minister, Regional and Constituency party executives, Hon. Member of Parliament, and Assembly Members for their cooperation and support.

Until thy kingdom comes, Konkombas and Dagombas will be neighbours.” He advised.
The Minister also encouraged Dagombas and Konkombas in the area to inter-marry and give birth to children, as that will bring everlasting peace and integration in the area. “Inter-marry and give birth for each other as that will facilitate everlasting peace in the area because they will see each other as family members and will not like to carry weapons to hunt one another.” He encouraged.
He appreciated all the supporting groups, such as chiefs, religious leaders, tribal associations, youth groups, Political Parties, Coordinating Director, Security Agencies, and Media, during the process of confirmation.
Mr. George’s confirmation has been met with enthusiasm and optimism by the people of Zabzugu District, who are eager to see the impact of his leadership. With his commitment to delivering on his promises, Mr. George is poised to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people he serves.
