I don't support the way Nana Addo is naming State Assets after his NPP party members and affiliates.

The Yakubu Tali contributed positively to Northern Region and Ghana.

Akuffo Addo should build a hospital or Secondary school in the Tolon district and name it after Yakubu Tali

Are you stupid? Would you say what you've said to Otomfuor? Does it mean Naa Yakubu Tali was the only person who contributed to the northern region? Yana has every right to advise Akuffo Addo or whoever to do the right thing on his soil. Almost eight years in power no NPP project A to Z. Using other government projects in naming after his NPP members.

Exactly. This is not about who has superior chieftaincy title. Yakubu Tali is not to be honored as a Tolon Naa, but for his service to Ghana. The fact that he was Tolon-Naa and subservient to the Yaa Naa shouldn't deny him the state honor due him. I hope Yaa-Naa will stay away from this stuff. Being a Yaa-Naa is itself the highest honor in Dagbon.

How does an old man behave so irresponsibly like the president is doing? Did he get any proper upbringing growing up at all? How do you unilaterally decide how an airport built with our taxes be named? Are we living in a dictatorship? This man does not respect at all. He should know that the power that his presidency has an end. Those names will be reversed tomorrow when a different person takes over.

Oh! Ghana!!! Which controversy again? What sort of people are we? Always fighting over trivialities. The Yaa Na is entitled to his opinion. That’s his right but that’s as far as it goes. Why should that bring controversy? Between who and who? Sometimes you just want to knock your head against a wall as a Ghanaian. Leave us alone to think about better things please. Your position should bring people together not bang heads together. A lot of blood was shed for you to sit on that skin. Never forget that.

None sense, Please don’t bring the Abudu vs Andani matter here! Your Excellency, Mr President, go ahead and rename the airport to Yakubu Tali international Airport. The one person with the Executive authority to effect the change is the President of Ghana. When the new name is done, whoever do not want to use the airport can find alternative means.

I honestly don’t know who has been advising Akufo Addo. Or he justs sits fantasies and tells his lieutenants this is what I want to do and they agree to massage his ego. This man has indeed brought this country backwards. Ghana has never been divided like how it has been made now. Can all Ghanaians be NPP? Should only NPP members be recognized? From day one he made a story about JB Danquah being the founder of Ghana a palpable lie. I blame those of us who voted for him. We have now seen the deception and what Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe said. The bitter lessons of leadership will be learnt under Akufo Addo’s presidency and we are learning.

Bitter lessons are really being learnt under Akuffo Addo's leadership or rule. In the hands of a bad leader we see all the wrongs and loopholes in our constitution.

Some have suffered to bring peace to the highly ethnic and tribal tensed Dagbon. If our president knows and was considerate of this why this needless and reckless move. Stop majoring in the minors. There's an economy to be fixed and national security issues to be addressed so be a president for once. Morever, Ghanaians should stop calling presidents father of the nation. Its nauseating especially under this current president. A president is at best the CEO of the nation who can be fired or reinstated based on performance or the will of the good people of Ghana. As far CEOs come, NAADDO is the luckiest but he push his luck and cause more problems for the NPP and its flag bearer
