A member of Nana Akuffo Addo\u2019s Communication Team, Mr. Samuel Awuku, says in addressing the crisis in Dagbon, one cannot do away with key actors and players like ex-president Jerry John Rawlings and \u201chis anointed son to Ghana, Professor Mills\u201d.<\/p>\n

The two political figures, according to him, used the murder of the Ya-Na as a major campaign tool and achieved in painting the NPP and some Dagbon residents black, even though they did not have any shred of evidence to back their claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Mills is winding and making excuses for his shortfalls over the Ya-Na\u2019s death after making an endorsement to search for the killers when he was a candidate,\u201d Mr. Awuku said.<\/p>\n

Contributing to Oman Fm\u2019s Morning show dubbed \u201cPublic Agenda\u201d, Mr. Awuku was of the opinion that for Mr. Rawlings to assert that the High Court freed the 15 suspects because certain findings were skipped during the investigations is ample testimony that \u201cthe former president believes those people (acquitted) are the killers of Ya-Na,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He indicted former President Rawlings for consistently dabbling in chieftaincy matters just to \u201cplay mischief\u201d, and expressed fear over his (Rawlings\u2019) \u201cability to turn chieftaincy matters into politics of attrition.\u201d<\/p>\n

To buttress his claim, he cited a publication by the \u201cChronicle\u201d newspaper in 1994, where the then Yagbonwura is said to have accused ex-president Rawlings of arming one side in the Konkomba and the Nanumba war, which claimed the lives of several thousands of people.<\/p>\n

He described as a shame, allegations by the NDC\u2019s National Women\u2019s Organiser, Anita De Souso that the judge who adjudicated on the Ya-Na trial (Justice E.K. Ayebi) \u201cwanted to grace Akufo-Addo\u2019s birthday with a present by freeing the 15 suspects.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
