MAMPRUGU YOUTH ASSOCIATION TO ADAM-GH

RE: ADAM-GH MET WITH GHANA ARMED FORCES


Our attention has been drawn to a circulating press release issued by a group calling itself ADAM-GH in reference to its purported meeting with the Chief of Defence Staff in Accra. The purpose of the meeting, according to ADAM-GH, was to resolve issues among which were complaints of alleged military brutalities in Bawku. 


First, we appreciate the interest with which the Military Command has attached to issues regarding the operations of their men in Bawku and the need to engage civil society organizations on the way forward. However, considering the fact that the group ADAM-GH has in recent times proven to be a discredited organization championing the ethnocentric agenda of its executive secretary Emmanuel Azubilla, we wish to make the following observations to serve as a guide to the Military High Command and the general public. 


1. Since the recent eruption of violence in Bawku, ADAM-GH which purports to be a civil society organization has without shame taken sides in the conflict. They have, through a series of press statements made intemperate inciting comments not conducive to peace and reconciliation. 

We have exposed their biased ethnocentric agenda in our detailed response to their petition to the IGP. We recommend you kindly follow the link attached (https://3news.com/ignore-adam-ghs-defamatory-inaccurate-ethnocentric-petition-mamprugu-youth-to-igp/) to acquaint yourselves with their unprofessional and shameful conduct. 



2. On the issue of the alleged military brutalities and the unprofessional conduct of ADAM-GH, we expect them to be apologizing to the military personnel especially those who were injured in the line of duty. In their press statement of 17th March 2022 following the shooting of the military officers by Kusasi bandits, ADAM-GH headed its Press release as "THE FACTS AVAILABLE TO ADAM-GH SUGGESTS THAT THE SECURITY IN BAWKU (MILITARY) HAVE INTEREST IN BAWKU CHIEFTAINCY CONFLICT". This heading by ADAM-GH which accused the military command of pure bias and their further statements like justifying the shooting of innocent soldiers deployed to maintain peace is enough reason for all state institutions as well as other civil society organizations to disregard any correspondence from ADAM-GH. We further urge all relevant stakeholders to treat ADAM-GH as an appendage of the Kusasi Youth group such as the Kusasi Youth Movement and Kusasi Youth Association that have been unleashing terror and violence on innocent lives in Bawku since 1985.


3. Our attention has further been drawn to a paragraph in the said press release by ADAM-GH where it quotes the military high command as saying it intends to implement a certain Supreme Court ruling. We are not certain this was really said by the military command but we wish to humbly remind the command that there was no such ruling given by the Supreme Court with regards to the Bawku chieftaincy crisis. It is in this regard that the Nayiri of Mamprugu has formally written to the President denying the existence of any such ruling whilst stressing his commitment to peace in the area. 


4. We humbly wish to remind the military high command to adopt the approach by the Minister for National Security Hon Albert Kan Dapaah when he appeared in Parliament on 4th April 2022. In answering a question about the so-called Supreme Court ruling, the Honorable Minister declined to make any comment. In fact, he considered it to be an issue under contention and hence inappropriate for him to make a pronouncement on it. This is the stand we wish to urge public officers to take to avoid comments that have the tendency of derailing the peace process. 


We conclude by thanking the military high command for its commitment to ensuring peace and security in Bawku. It is our hope that the command and the general public will disregard cunning attempts by ADAM-GH of tricking people/institutions into falling for their ethnocentric agenda.

WHAT REV. PROF. JOHN AZUMAH SHOULD KNOW AND A WORD TO THE YOUTH OF KUSASI

Image
By Alhaji Salifu Hadara In circulation, a write-up, emanating from, one Rev. Prof. John Azumah, pretending to love the youth of Mamprugu with his disingenuous, illusory, delusional and commoner-like unsolicited advice. First of all, it should be made to him clearly that, the youth of Mamprugu do not need his advice for anything and for that matter, he should redirect his needless advice to himself and the youth of Kusasi he and his likes have over the years deceived into believing that Kusasi own Bawku. Bawku did not start in the 1950s, neither was it founded by any commoner. Bawku was founded by the rulling class (Mamprusi) in the early 1700s and that is what you should be telling your youth but not deceptions that have over time been exposed.  The youth of Mamprugu want to make it clear without any ambiguity that, Bawku is part and parcel of Mamprugu and any attempt by any commoner to describe the Mamprusi in Bawku as 'small group of Mamprusi' only goes to show ho

BAWUMIA FINALLY DECLARES STANCE ON LGBTQI

Image
Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has emphatically stated he opposes the practice of LGBTQ+ in Ghana. Addressing a gathering of Muslims to commemorate the 2024 Eid-ul-Fitr celebration, Dr Bawumia said he cannot support a practice his religion and the values of Ghana frown on. “I will like to take this opportunity to personally comment on the raging issue of LGBTQ in Ghana. First of all, it is important to note that our cultural and societal norms and values as Ghanaians frown on the practice of homosexuality,” Dr. Bawumia said at the Kumasi Central Mosque. “Furthermore, as a Muslim, my view on this matter aligns with the position of my religious faith. The Noble Quran is replete with verses frowning on LGBTQ acts, including same-sex marriages. My faith is therefore very strictly against the practice of homosexuality, no “ifs” or “buts”. No shades of grey,” he emphatically stated. This is Dr Bawumia’s first public declaratio
