Chiefs At Damong Threatens To Demonstrate Against Their MP
The spokesperson for the chiefs, Saa Wura Abukari Jaga, stated that since his affirmation, Damongo Wura Kelly Seidu Boresa has reached out to all stakeholders, including the MP for Damongo, for the development of the traditional area.
However, the MP for Damongo has not recognised the legitimacy of Damongo Wura and has refused to work with him.
“All stakeholders except the MP for Damongo have duly recognised the legitimacy of the Damongo Wura and have indicated their willingness to work with him,” Jaga said.
Jaga further accused Abu Jinapor of covertly meddling in an already settled matter and failing to recognize the decision of the Yagbonwura and his Council of Elders in affirming Damongo Wura Seidu Kelly.
The chiefs expressed their disappointment with the MP’s interference in matters that should be handled within the traditional setup, stating that his actions have caused widespread discontent among the people.
The chiefs issued an ultimatum: “Should the MP continue to ignore this humble call by the Damongo Wura and his sub-chiefs, we assure him that our community will, within a month, have no choice but to organise a massive demonstration to express our discontent and seek appropriate remedies from higher authorities.”
In response, the MP for Damongo, Samuel Abu Jinapor, through the NPP Damongo constituency Secretary, Kadiri Abdul Rahaman, stated that he would respond to the chiefs in due time.
