“Yagbonwura’s Anger: Abu Jinapor’s Failure to Arrest Chiefs Sparks Tension”
The Yagbonwura, Bui Kunuto Soale Jewu, the paramount chief of the Gonja Kingdom, has expressed his deep disappointment and anger towards Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Member of Parliament for Damongo, for failing to facilitate the arrest of certain Gonja Chiefs. According to sources in Damongo, the Yagbonwura had requested the MP to use his influence to arrest the chiefs, who are allegedly involved in some misconduct. However, the MP did not honor the request, which has led to the Yagbonwura’s displeasure.
Furthermore, sources revealed that the Yagbonwura had also requested a Land Cruiser vehicle from the MP, which was declined. The reason behind the request and the decline is not clear, but it appears to be a separate issue that has contributed to the tension between the two leaders.
When reached for comment, the MP, who serves as Minister for Lands and Natural Resources and has cabinet oversight of the Ministry of Energy, confirmed that the Yagbonwura had made the request but chose not to elaborate further. The MP’s response suggests that there may be more to the story than what is currently known.
The rift between the Yagbonwura and the MP has sparked concerns among the people of Gonja, who are watching the situation closely. The Yagbonwura is a highly respected figure in the region, and his displeasure with the MP may have implications for the MP’s political future in the region. The situation is developing, and it remains to be seen how it will play out in the coming days.
