Former President John Dramani Mahama has made a firm commitment to establish an airport in the Upper East Region of Ghana. During his Building Ghana Tour in the Bolgatanga East Constituency on February 2nd, Mahama addressed the audience and expressed his determination to follow through on this promise. He recounted the previous efforts made during his presidency, including acquiring a piece of land and inspecting it in preparation for the airport’s construction. I have heard some moves to activate it using a private company because they also need it their operations and if NDC come to power, is something we will continue and make sure Upper East Region gets a good airport. So that we can fly directly from anywhere. Unfortunately, due to changes in government, the project did not come to fruition. However, Mahama disclosed that he recently learned of new developments to activate the airport plans in collaboration with a private company. Recognizing the importance of a functional airport for both the region and the company’s operations, he assured the audience that if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) were to win the upcoming elections, they would prioritize the establishment of a high-quality airport in the Upper East Region. “I have heard some moves to activate it using a private company because they also need it their operations and if NDC come to power, is something we will continue and make sure Upper East Region gets a good airport. So that we can fly directly from anywhere”. Mahama emphasized the convenience and direct connectivity it would bring for travelers from any location. Notably, the Bolgatanga Regional airport has encountered setbacks and delays for over three decades. Mr. Mahama promise came after the paramount chief of the Sakoti Traditional Area Naba Sigri Bewong posed a very interesting question to the former president during his building tour engagement with the Regional House of Chiefs.

The Paramount Chief of the Sakoti Traditional Area in the Nabdam district of the Upper East Region, Naba Sigri Bewong, has strongly condemned the lynching of old men and women and people perceived to be from marginalized groups. This statement was made during his participation in a recent documentary titled “THE HORRORS OF WITCHCRAFT ACCUSATION,” produced by Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of ApexnewsGh. Naba Sigri Bewong, who has been serving as a paramount chief in the area for over 25 years, expressed his disappointment in the extreme act of lynching. He emphasized that while witchcraft does exist and belongs to the evil spirit according to their beliefs, he does not possess the ability to identify who is a witch and who is not. Therefore, he advised against taking the law into their own hands. In cases brought before him, the paramount chief mentioned that when a person confesses to being a witch, they are considered reformed and are urged to coexist peacefully within the community. He strongly opposed the act of lynching, stating that it is simply the act of killing another human being. He further stressed the importance of abiding by the law and called on the community to refrain from beating, lynching, or killing individuals. Naba Sigri Bewong also highlighted that the perception that women alone are witches is incorrect, as men are also believed to possess witchcraft abilities. According to his understanding, witches operate as a society, with their own leaders and members. He mentioned that they are believed to hold meetings on trees during the night and have the ability to transform themselves into animals or cause harm to others. The paramount chief urged his community to reject the act of lynching and to work towards peaceful coexistence, emphasizing the importance of respecting the law. The documentary was sponsored by MRG with support from MPEC. Source: Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.
