Zebilla MP Ebenezer Alumire Ndebilla rejected claims that the Bawku conflict worsened during President John Dramani Mahama's time in office. He challenged the NPP Minority's statements that blamed the current administration for increased deaths and property damage in the area. This comes after recent violence between police and local youth reportedly caused deaths, injuries, and the burning of homes belonging to Bawku MP Mahama Ayariga and Pusiga MP Lardi Ayii Ayamba.
Speaking on Channel One Newsroom on April 11, Ndebilla called these accusations misleading. He stated the conflict actually escalated under NPP rule during the past three to four years, when several developments heightened tensions in the region. The lawmaker emphasized that peace takes time to build and cannot fix problems that existed for years in just three years.
He mentioned the government remains committed to supporting peace efforts in Bawku. Ndebilla called for everyone to work together on addressing these issues rather than pointing fingers. He stressed that finding lasting solutions requires patience and cooperation from all parties involved in the conflict.
