    If I develop the area well, they will all forget about fighting.

  • GA MAN 11 years ago

    My peace of advice to Akilu,if you really want to win that seat and represent them in parliament,is either you join NDC or stand as independent candidate before the Adanees and Abudus would listen to your message.
    It is stil ...

    Stupid fool. Don't bring Islam into dagban matters. Islam has nothing to do with the violence in dagban.

  • Ghanabiya 11 years ago

    What makes Tamale a no go area and for who? What is happening in Tamale and Dagbon has nothing to do with religion so why do you blame Islam.

    Leave the religion in peace and concentrate your anger somewhere else.

    NDC wants people like you based on what is written. But the question is who are you and what is your stand.The president read this article and said the name Akilu rings a bell.

    Akilu Sayibu, I am not sure if you were being diplomatic by describing the rivalry between the two royal factions in Dagbon as competition. What is happening between the Abudu and Adani royal families is hatred for each other ...

  • paul 11 years ago

    The heart of the Andanis is still bleeding, bleeding non stop. AKILU means you can kill anybody and go free to parliament. Change your name sir. I love your poitical theory, love you

  • Ghanabiya 11 years ago

    You have noble ideas and you are really concern about Dagbon. The problem is that all of you, including your counter parts in the NDC are sponsored by special interest groups.

    You preach your ideas to the voters, they v ...

    Are we people of short memory? The NPP won the 2000 Elections convincingly in Tamale. But you may wanna ask yourself; what has changed since then? Search your heart not your head and the answer can easily be found.
