He said government’s intervention to bring peace to Dagbon has been successful, saying “Our efforts bore fruits.”
He also expressed his gratitude to the three eminent chiefs, which comprise of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Yagbonwura, Tuntumba Boresa Sulemana Jakpa I and Nayiri, Naa Bohogu Abdulai Mahami Sheriga for the roles they played in bringing to an end the protracted chieftaincy dispute at Dagbon.
The President said “Peace has been restored to Dagbon and my government will continue to work to sustain the peace of Dagbon.”

After his (Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani II) death, Dagbon became a centre of chieftaincy dispute and attempts by successive governments to resolve the issue proved unsuccessful until 2019.
