  • Ya-Na should respect himself to avoid this drama 1 year ago

    Ya-Na should be careful not to put himself up for ridicule.

    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 ...

    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 ...

    Dont compare your chief who lives in a mud hut to my king...respect yourself

  • vandal Isa 1 year ago

    Tamale airport should not be named after Yakubu Tali. It is just not right in the greater scheme of things.

  • Ochee-Do-Chee 1 year ago

    Any sensible president would have made that announcement only after consultation with the local leaders, not just his political party headquarters. That is the kind of cantankerous individual Akufo Addo is!

  • Oprege 1 year ago

    CONQUERED

  • Oh! Atta Mills, Ghana missed you ooo 1 year ago

    Akuffo Addo wants to start another trouble.

  • M.T 1 year ago

    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 th ...

  • Ya-Na should distant himself from politics 1 year ago

    The Ya-Na should be careful. The Airport could even be named after even a northerner without chieftaincy title or after a village chief based on their contribution.

    But Nana Addo naming national properties after his party ...

    Na Gbewa was a Sudanese who migrated to present day Ghana. We should name monuments after slaves. It should remain Tamale international airport. NDC government should reverse it.

  • moses 1 year ago

    The people in the Northern region have no problem with the name Tamale International Airport. Why does the president want to change the mane to a Former NPP party leader?

  • GHANAPANIN 1 year ago

    You people are behaving like crabs. Because you don't like the name of Yakubu Tali, the name of the airport should remain Tamale International Airport? Crabology indeed.

    Akufo Addo is just too reckless. He lacks deep thinking.

  • Gov 1 1 year ago

    Must everything generate controversy in the north?How many people could the Airport be named after? Obviously one. So the respected Ya Na should calm down and allow peace to prevail.

  • Gyatase 1 year ago

    Akufo Addo loves to see miserable people. How many times have you seen him consoling people in Ghana? He is the first to commiserate with foreign governments and the last to do the same in Ghana.

  • Ocloo Samuel 1 year ago

    I agree with the Yaa Na's suggestion that it should be named after the founder of Dagon Naa Gbewaa.

    As wisely pointed out by the overload of Dagbon, naming the airport after the late tolon naa has the potential of dividing ...

    But when they name Kumasi Stadium after Baba Yara dierrr it is acceptable.

    This is total disrespect,why didn't you rename Kumasi airport with Bantemahene's name?they just don't respect our northern chiefs.

    Not a wise move by the Yaa Naa. He should have written a petition to the president about his objection to the naming of the airport. Yakubu Tall has a number of supporters who will not take kind of the statement from the yaa ...

    Tamale Stadium was named after Aliu Mahama and there was no problem. Why this one? It's because of the person who is renaming the place. Nana Addo stinks and stinks very much

  • Ken 1 year ago

    I don't know this. How do you name places after human beings you perceive. People have contributed quietly far more than your perceptions. Apart from Nkrumah, no one. Even kotoka has to be reversed
