Bawku is peaceful with NDC in government – John Mahama

Pusiga (U/E), Aug. 05, GNA – Former President and Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr John Dramani Mahama, says the Bawku conflict halts anytime the NDC takes over the administration of the country.

“If you look at the history, you will find that anytime NDC is in government, there is peace in Bawku and surrounding areas. As soon as we hand over to our brothers, then, trouble starts,” he said.

He said, given the nod in the upcoming elections, peace in Bawku would be the number one priority of his government, “We are going to work with the Chiefs, the religious leaders and everybody to make sure that we establish sustainable peace in Bawku.”

The Flagbearer said this when he addressed a durbar of Chiefs and people at the Pusiga Naba’s Palace in the Pusiga District of the Upper East Region as part of activities for his four-day campaign tour of the Region.

On infrastructural projects, Mr Mahama told the people of Pusiga that the Party was undertaking an inventory of all abandoned government projects across the country and owing to the economic crisis, his government would not start any new project but would focus on abandoned projects.
