The King of the Gonja kingdom, Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuto Soale Jewu Soale, has issued a ban on the Member of Parliament for Damongo and Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor, from visiting any palace in Gonjaland.
This decision follows a protest by the youth of Gonjaland, who accused the MP of disrespecting local authorities. In a video shared by Channel One News, Yagbonwura Soale Jewu Soale, speaking at the Jakpa Palace after the protest, described the lawmaker as a threat to peace and unity in the region.
The King, through his interpreter, outlined several reasons for the ban, including allegations that Abu Jinapor has used government power to bypass traditional authority and evade accountability. He warned that any chief who welcomed Abu Jinapor to their palace would face serious consequences.
“Let me state this authoritatively that 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,” Yagbonwura stated.
He added, “It is not a secret that 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 to get the Yagbonwura to feel worthless, powerless and of no value in the eye of the public.”
“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,” he concluded.
The King’s strong stance underscores his commitment to preserving the authority and respect of traditional institutions in Gonjaland.
