STATEMENT RELEASED TO THE PRESS AT A PRESS CONFERENCE IN YENDI ON THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE YA-NA MAHAMADU ABUDULAI
We would like to thank the Media for answering our call to attend this Press Conference at such a short notice. We also take the opportunity to express our gratitude to the Media for the key role that they play in educating and informing the Ghanaian public on the Dagbon Chieftaincy Crisis.
We are gathered here today to inform the good people of Dagbon and all peace loving Ghanaians that the Abudu Royal Family, upon consultation with traditional leaders and elders of the Abudu Gate, has come to the sad conclusion that the pertinent issue central to the realization of sustainable peace in the Dagbon traditional area has not been properly resolve by the Otumfuo Committee of Eminent Chiefs. We, therefore, wish to state that the Abudu Royal Family has categorically rejected the final recommendations made by the Eminent Chiefs on the funeral rites of Na Mahamadu Abudulai. We will state the legal and customary grounds upon which we reject the Committee’s final recommendation. We will also state the steps that the Abudu Royal Family intends to take to ensure that a proper funeral befitting the status of a Ya Na is accorded Na Mahamadu Abdulai.
