Major Suleimana Abukari, and Gushegu Naa Abdulai among others.
Tuluwewura Rasheed Mahama who addressed the house on behalf of the Yagbonwura, the overlord of Gonjaland, stressed that the creation of new regions out of Northern Region does not mean the people of these regions were separating themselves, rather he said, they will continue to work closely with their brothers from the Northern Region to develop the area.

The president of the regional house of chiefs however called on people of the three regions of the North to accept community integration and see themselves as one to ensure peaceful coexistence among the various tribes in the regions.
“Peace is not the answer to our challenges as a people, but rather the sustainability of the PEACE. For us as a community, in sustaining peace, we need to accept community integration and see ourselves as one. We should freely allow general human interactions and encourage integrated marriages. We need to develop the habit of perpetual love and forgiveness for each other,” he stated.
