NATIONAL ASSOCAITION OF GONJALAND Youth ASSOCIATION CONDEMNS MEDIA REPORTAGE
The Gonjaland Youth Association has rubbished recent media reports that the association slammed the Overlord of Gonjaland, Yagbon-Wura Sulemana Tuntunba Borisa over decisions that he took in relation to the Buipe chieftaincy affair and other related issues in Gonjaland.
With specific reference to Wednesday edition of the Today newspaper captioned “Gonjaland Youth Association slams Yagbon-Wura” which was also captured by the Chronicle newspaper, leadership of the association described the said publications as baseless and dumfounded which should be treated with the contempt that it deserves.
Mr. Bakari Nyari, President of the Gonjaland Youth Association at a news conference held at the Pioneer Lodge in Tamale denied knowledge of the association ever slamming the Yagbon-Wura and expressed the association’s disquiet about recent falsehood reportage by a cross section of the Ghanaian media on matters in-connection with the tussle over the Buipe chieftaincy affair and its unfolding events.
He challenged the media to be circumspect in their reportage especially when highlighting issues concerning chieftaincy and other related matters emanating from the Gonjaland Traditional Council.
He reaffirmed the association’s unflinching support to the Yagbon-Wura and the Gonjaland Traditional Council in its bid to make citizens of the area productive and industrious.
Mr. Nyari however cautioned citizens of Gonjaland against rushing to the media to articulate their grievances and resort to the use of the designated traditional channels in settling their differences.
He further urged all peace loving and development oriented citizens particularly the youth of Gonjaland to snub persons sowing seeds of rancor in their respective communities and concentrate on gaining higher academic laurels as their major priority to move the Gonjaland Traditional Area forward.
