AYEEKOO TO THE SECURITY AND PEOPLE OF BAWKU



The Sunday December 7th election in Bawku Municipality was generally peaceful and very calm and orderly contrary to the expectation of many people that elections in Bawku would be marred by violence and skirmishes.

This success story could be attributed to the due diligence of the heavy police and military present in the municipality months before the elections which put fear and respect in the residents that any miscreant would not be spared when caught.

Additionally the people equally displayed high degree of comportment and cooperation that has not been seen in several months. The people have shown that they have a strong will and just when most people expected something unpleasant to happen they delved into their inner most and exhibited the calmness and peaceful nature the area is noted for, before the conflicts.

Worth mentioning is the general calmness of the people when both the parliamentary and presidential results were declared especially with the parliamentary results which had to be sent to Bolgatanga before it was finally declared which gave the NPP candidate Mr. Daramani Adamu 20157 as against the incumbent Hon. Mahama Ayariga, 17385 votes.

With all these internal and external commendations we wish to urge all residents in Bawku to keep it up and remember that absolute peace is not a one shop event but a process which demands our constant efforts to sustain it.

For the men in uniform, we love your style and show of strength and bravery!
As you sacrifice your lives to protect others may God bless you abundantly and promote you in your chosen career Amen.

Godwin Nkunu and James Dorgbetor
