A high-powered government delegation has visited the Yagbonwura’s palace seeking to have the ban placed on MP for Damongo who is also Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor, lifted.
According to our sources at the Jakpa Palace, the delegation was led by the Defense Minister, Dominic Nitiwul.
The Chieftaincy Minister, Stephen Asamoah Boateng and the Savannah Regional Minister were also part of the delegation
Earlier, some members of the National House of Chiefs and the Council of State also visited the Jakpa Palace.
Sources at the Jakpa Palace told 3news.com that the Yagbonwura asked the delegation to go and come another time.
“Yagbonwura told the delegation he will be traveling to the Mamprugu Kingdom on Sunday in yet another historic visit and also he said he will have to meet them with his paramount chiefs and so they should go and come later,” the sources said.
On Sunday July 21, 2024, King of the Gonja Kingdom, Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuto Soale Jewi, banned Samuel Abu Jinapor from entering any palace in Gonjaland over claims of insubordination, disrespect and abuse of government powers.
Even though the Damongo law maker earlier described the ban as false, in a recorded video in circulation on social media, Abu Jinapor described the Yagbonwura as a grandfather and a father.
