The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stormed the Jakpa palace in Damongo to meet the King of the Gonja Kingdom, Yagbonwura Bii Kunuto Jewu Soale I, to intervene and plead for the Damongo Member of Parliament, Samuel Abu Jinapor.
The King some few days ago ordered Gonjaland Paramouncies not to grant access to the Damongo Member of Parliament, Samuel Abu Jinapor, to their various palaces, and warned that any chief defying this directive will face sanctions.
“Paramouncies in Gonjaland should not grant audience to any Government delegation, political party or any person who pays you a visit, once it includes Samuel Abu Jinapor until he learns his tradition as a royal and learn how to respect the authority of the Yagbonwura and this statement is final and binding on all paramouncies within the Gonja Kingdom.”
The Damongo Member of Parliament has been accused of interfering and meddling in the Chieftaincy issues in Damongo which is undermining the authority of the yagbonwura.
The NPP delegation, including Savannah Regional Minister Saeed Muhazu Jibril, Chieftaincy and Culture Affairs Minister Stephen Asamoah Boateng, and Defence Minister Dominic Nitiwul, held a close-door meeting with the King but kept the outcome confidential. This is what Zaaneww.com has gathered from MyNewsGh.com.
Meanwhile, the Damongo Member of Parliament, Samuel Abu Jinapor has indicated that the King of the Gonja Kingdom, Yagbonwura Bii Kunuto Jewu Soale I is like a father to him and that there’s no day he would disrespect him or his authority in Gonjaland.
