Ya-Na Abubakari Mahama II has called on Christians to continue praying for peace in Dagbon without ceasing

Ya-Na Abubakari Mahama II has called on Christians to continue praying for peace in Dagbon without ceasing.

He said there was the need to continue praying to God to sustain the peace since they now have a new Ya-Na for Dagbon.

He said the Abudu and the Andani Royal families had a problem but after the funerals of Ya-Na Mahamadu Abdulai IV and Ya-Na Yakubu Andani II and a new Ya-Na enskinned, there is no more Abudu or Andani in Dagbon since they are all Dagombas.

Ya-Na Abubakari II made the call when the Members of the Yendi Local Council of Churches paid a courtesy call on him at the Gbawaa Palace in Yendi.

He said after he was enskinned as the Ya- Na, the Abudu and Andani Royal Families buried the hatchet and united for the sake of peace and development of Dagbon and Ghana.

He said God in approval of his enskinment gave them showers of blessing when he entered Katini Duu on Friday night January 18, 2019 as the new Ya-Na.

According to the Ya-Na since “there are bad nuts in Dagbon” they should pray to God to remove such bad nuts to pave way for everlasting peace in Dagbon.

He advised them not to relax in their prayers just because they now have a Ya-Na, adding that, “this is the time to intensify your prayers”, and appealed to them to pray for development to come to the area.

Ya-Na Abukari II said with prayers from all religious bodies he is sure that Dagbon will witness everlasting peace.

Reverend Emmanuel Kwabena Mustapha, Vice Chairman of the Yendi Local Council of Churches in Yendi, on behalf of members congratulated the Ya-Na on his enskinment.

Reverend Mustapha said without God’s intervention “whatever they are doing shall not be successful”, adding that, God has now healed Dagbon and when “healing is done then there is need for reconciliation among the people.”

The local council of churches made presentations including English and Dagbani Bibles and GHȼ500.00 cash to the Palace.
