The Andani Royal family has announced its withdrawal from the Otumfuo led mediation committee, citing bias.

At a press conference Saturday, the family said it will not respect the roadmap declaration by the committee to restore peace in Dagbon, Starrfm reports.

The withdrawal from the peace process comes a day after the installation of a new regent for Dagbon, Yaa Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV, under the enskinment name Bolin Lana.

Boling-Lana Mahamadu Abdulai was installed as the new Regent of Dagbon on Friday December 14 as  part of activities lined up for the performance of the funeral of the Yaa-Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV.

But according to the Andani family, the government is aiding the Abudu Family to create a parallel authority in Dagbon by allowing the newly enskinned Regent of Abudu Family to refer to himself as Regent of Dagbon.

“We wonder how the Otumfuo and his committee hopes to make progress with the program they rolled out at the Flag Staff House when major players around whom the program will revolve have been cynically ignored in favor of a self-seeking rogue which has no legitimacy," the spokesperson for the Andani Royal gate Kpan-Naa Abubakari Andani said.

“What, therefore, the Asantehene and the eminent chiefs have done is to shoot first and aim later. Regrettably, they have missed the point and the entire program is destined to crumble like a vast hit by a sledgehammer.”
