Fresh details have begun emerging from Thursday’s meeting between the Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuto Soale Jewi and Abu Jinapor’s mediation delegation led by the Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul.
According to multiple sources close to the over one-hour meeting, the talks were “very fruitful.”
This follows widespread media reports that the high-powered government delegation that visited the Yagbonwura’s palace in a bid to lift the ban placed on Samuel Abu Jinapor, the MP for Damongo and Minister for Lands and Natural Resources was asked to leave and return at a later time.
That information has however been dispelled by deep-throat sources close to the meeting.
One of the participants in the meeting confirmed to newsalertgh.com that the meeting lasted over an hour. The official who pleaded anonymity said the revered King earlier made some demands before meeting the team which was eventually adhered to.
“The King asked us to first of all recognise the legitimacy of the Damongowura which we did. He in turn led us to the palace of our Overlord. Our King received us very warmly. The meeting was very fruitful and held in a very conducive manner,” the highly placed source narrated to this reporter.
The delegation included Minister of Chieftaincy, Stephen Asamoah Boateng and the Savannah Regional Minister, Saeed Muhazu Jibril.
The ban on the Damongo MP Samuel Abu Jinapor was imposed by Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuto Soale Jewi, the King of the Gonja Kingdom, on Sunday, July 21, 2024.
The ban prevents Jinapor from entering any palace in Gonjaland due to allegations of insubordination, disrespect, and abuse of government powers.
Jinapor later issued a public apology, describing the Yagbonwura as a grandfather and father.
