The Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, has accused the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of being responsible for the ongoing insecurity in some parts of the country due to the Bawku chieftaincy dispute.
Mahama Ayariga made this accusation after a member of the Minority Caucus, NPP MPs, accused him of not addressing the issues of Bawku when he was addressing the House during the debate on the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review.
As the Majority Leader was addressing the House, some of the members of the Minority Caucus could be heard heckling him with chants of “Bawku”, with some of them saying, “Go to Bawku.”
Mahama Ayariga, who looked visibly agitated, digressed from his statement and started responding to the claims of the NPP MPs.
He asserted that the insecurity in Bawku always arises when the NPP is in power.
“I’m not running away from Bawku. Mr Speaker, for those of you who have chosen to have a very short memory, Bawku was a very peaceful place until 2001, when Kufuor took over the presidency.
“The problem in Bawku was caused under the NPP administration. While Akufo-Addo was president, he allowed somebody to be appointed a rival chief in Bawku,” he said.
