Any Chief Who Entertains Abu Jinapor In His Palace Will Have Himself To Blame – Yagbonwura Bans NPP MP From Gonjaland Palaces

Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Member of Parliament for Damongo constituency and the Lands and Natural Resources Minister, has been officially barred from visiting any palace in Gonjaland. This decree was issued by Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuto Soale Jewu Soale, the King of the Gonja kingdom, citing Jinapor as a threat to the region’s peace and unity.

The announcement was made at the Jakpa Palace following a demonstration by the youth of Gonjaland against the MP. “From today, no Chief in Gonjaland should allow Abu Jinapor to come by himself or lead or accompany any government official or politician to any palace in Gonjaland. Any Chief who disobeys this order will have himself to blame,” declared the Yagbonwura authoritatively.

Through his interpreter, the Yagbonwura outlined the reasons for the ban, accusing Jinapor of using governmental power to undermine traditional authority. He claimed that Jinapor’s actions were intended to diminish the Yagbonwura’s standing and authority in the public eye.

“Abu Jinapor uses the powers of government to circumvent the traditional authority and orders of the Yagbonwura in an attempt to evade accountability and to counter the orders so given by the Yagbonwura. This is mostly done deliberately in order to get the Yagbonwura to feel worthless, powerless and of no value in the eye of the public,” explained the King.

The Yagbonwura emphasized the consequences for any chief who defies this order, stating, “Enough of his arrogance and disrespect. I will deal with any Chief who will entertain him or in the company of any government official to his palace.”

Supporting the King’s stance, the Chief of Sakpala, Jantonwura Peter Awusi Yakubu, reiterated the youth’s alignment with the Yagbonwura’s decision. “We wish to echo the voice of the Yagbonwura as was said at the Jakpa Palace, and on the basis of the above-listed instances of disrespect and insubordination, championed and led by Hon. Abu Jinapor, that the King would never grant audience to any Government delegation, political party or any person who pays him a visit, once it includes Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor.”

The statement emphasized that this ban is final and binding on all paramountcies within the Gonja kingdom until Jinapor learns to respect the traditions and authority of the Yagbonwura.
