Ghana’s Minister for Finance, Hon Mohammed Amin Adam has expressed immense gratitude to the occupant of the Golden Stool, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, for his contribution to peace and stability in the Kingdom of Dagbon.
The innate of Dagbon recognizes that the resultant impact of the settlement of the chieftaincy struggle which traversed for over 10 years is sped up economic development in that zone.
The new minister also showed appreciation to the Asante King for his commitment to national development.
“As a Dagomba grandson of yours, we appreciate all the work you have done for us and bringing about peace which has paved the way for accelerated development in Dagbon.
“We also know your contribution toward national development in general through your education fund and other numerous initiatives that have attracted investment into our country. We appreciate that so much and we want to thank you for all these services to our country and our people.”
When he paid the King a courtesy visit on February 20, 2024, at the Manhyia Palace, to officially introduce himself as the new Finance Minister, he expressed his gratitude to the King.
The Finance Minister who is also the Member of Parliament for Karaga Electorate was joined by Deputy Finance Minister John Ampontuah Kumah, Chief Director Eva Eselba Mends, Director of Economic Strategy and Research Alhassan Iddrisu, Director of Policy Coordination Monitoring and Evaluation Division Augustus Kwesi Adu and others.
This comes precisely seven days after the overlord of Dagbon, Yaa-Naa Abukari II passed his significant appreciation and reverence on to Otumfuo for the neighborly settlement that has since rendered his Kingdom peaceful.
The Dagbon chieftaincy struggle, some way or another considered political, continued for seventeen (17) years between the two illustrious families in the Kingdom after the homicide of Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani in 2002.
The two parties would not accept a resolution that was satisfactory until the Committee of Eminent Chiefs (CEC), led by Otumfuo, was established. Several committees were established.
