President Mahama in Bawku on a Peace Mission

President John Dramani Mahama left Accra on Tuesday morning for Bawku in the Upper East Region as part of efforts to broker a lasting peace in the conflict-ridden area. 

His first stop will be a meeting with the Bawku Naaba, Zug-raan Asigri Abugrago Azoka II, paramount chief of the Kusaug traditional area. 

The President and his delegation will also hold a meeting with Nayiiri Bohagu Abdulai Mahami, overlord of the Mamprugu traditional area. 

This dual engagement underscores the President's commitment to engaging with local leaders and stakeholders to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

During his visit, President Mahama is expected to address the security and safety concerns plaguing the area. 

He will likely reaffirm his administration's dedication to restoring peace and fostering development in Bawku.

President Mahama is presently holding a briefing with heads of the various security agencies at the Airport in Accra before he heads to Bawku.
