Former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini, has issued a public apology to the Nayiri, the Mamprugu Youth, and the Council of Chiefs for his comments regarding the Bawku conflict.
Inusah Fuseini made the apology during an appearance on JoyNews’ Newsfile program, stating that his comments were misinterpreted as an attack on the authority of the Nayiri and the Mamprugu Kingdom.
He clarified that his intention was to promote peace and justice in Bawku, not to take sides or disrespect any traditional authority.
“It was unfortunate that my views, though honestly expressed, appeared to align with the Kusasi position. That was never my aim. I am Dagomba, but suddenly I was being labelled as Kusasi simply for suggesting a possible approach to peace,” he said.
He explained that his statements were made spontaneously during a discussion and were not intended to provoke anger or align with any particular faction.
“My comments were not meant to disrupt the existing order or undermine any traditional authority. I was simply pursuing what I believed could contribute to justice and peace in Bawku,” he added.
He also expressed regret that his comments were perceived as supporting the Kusasi position, which he had not intended.
The former Tamale Central MP further reiterated his commitment to peace and justice, stating that his words were meant to contribute to a resolution of the Bawku conflict.
“On this Holy Saturday, I pray that my apology will be accepted by all those I have offended, my brothers in Mamprugu, the youth, and the traditional authorities,” he said.
