NPP’s John Krugu suspends campaign, questions AG’s Move in Bawku Chieftaincy dispute

John Krugu, the NPP candidate in Zebilla, has condemned the Attorney General’s choice to retract an appeal for an arrest warrant for a man who says he is Bawku Naaba.

He cautioned that increasing tensions in Bawku might jeopardize the peace that has been maintained by acknowledging only Bawku Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II.

Krugu has put his campaign on hold until the government clarifies its actions.

The ongoing chieftaincy disputes in Bawku, situated in Ghana’s Upper East Region, continue to create a tense atmosphere. The government acknowledges Bawku Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II as the rightful paramount chief, yet disputes over the throne persist and contribute to ongoing conflicts. C

oncerns have been heightened by recent events, such as the Attorney General retracting an appeal for an arrest warrant against a competitor, regarding the possibility of escalation.

Periodic curfews and security operations have been implemented due to sporadic violence in the region. Local political leaders, such as NPP candidate John Krugu, have shown concern about the delicate peace being jeopardized by these chieftaincy issues.
