Call Rawlings To Order -TMA IMC

The Interim Management Committee (IMC) of Tamale Metropolitan Assembly has cautioned the government to call former President Rawlings to order before he causes another mayhem in the Dagbon Traditional Area with his effusions.

The IMC stated that the utterances of Rawlings on the murder of the late Ya Na Yakubu Andani II and others as well as his comments on the Dagbon conflict are inflammatory and negative, which have the tendency of causing another explosion.

Dr. Obeng Adjei an IMC member announced this when the Deputy Minster of Local Government and Rural Development, Captain (RTD) Nkrabeah Effah Dartey paid a day’s working visit to the Tamale Metropolis.

Meanwhile three IMCs of three District Assemblies, which fall within the Dagbon Traditional Area, have cautioned the government not to lift the state of emergency imposed on the people of the area.

They cautioned that any attempt by the government to lift the state of emergency would serve as a recipe for another brutal clash, which would be disastrous even more than what took place in the area last year.

The three are the Tamale IMC, the Savelegu/Nantong IMC and Tolon Kumbungu IMC.
