Former President Mahama

Danongo Savanna Region, April 21, 2019//- Former President John Dramani Mahama has admonished the chiefs and people of the Gonjaland traditional area in the Savanna Region of Ghana to embrace peace in the newly created region.

Speaking at the 43rd annual Gonjaland youth association meeting held in Damongo over the weekends,former President Mahama preached for peace in Gonjaland since without peace,there can never be development.
He reminded his tribesmen that Gonjaland was the envy of all other tribes in Ghana since  chieftainship is by a laid down succession.
Former President therefore asked for an immediate solution to all chieftaincy problems to be solved and and praised the Yagbonwura for constituting a committee some few weeks ago to find lasting solutions to all conflicts in Gonjaland.

Touching on the water problem affecting the Savanna regional capital of Damongo, former President Mahama appealed to follow the initial plan designed by his government to supply  Damongo and its environs with portable water from the Black Volta.
He went further to promise the people of Gonjaland that if the government fails to solve the water problem, he will solve it in 2021 after he becomes the next President.
Touching on the road network in Gonjaland, former President Mahama further appealed to the government to continue with some of the roads he started especially the Busunu- Daboya- Mankargu road and all the roads that were not completed before he left office in 2017.
He also urged the government to develop not only the Savanna Region but all the newly created regions since they are all lacking behind in terms of development.
Earlier before the Congress former President Mahama was at the Palace of the overlord of the Gonjaland traditional area Yagbonwura Boresah Tumtumba ll to witness on the conferment of the overlord a Honorary Doctorate Degree and Professorship in acknowledgement of his dedication to progress and Development of the Gonja kingdom and the entire country.
