President John Dramani Mahama is expected to meet the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, on Sunday, January 19, to address the escalating tensions in Bawku and Walewale.

He called for peace and stressed the importance of leveraging the Asantehene’s wisdom and leadership, noting his proven ability to mediate and resolve conflicts in the past.
President Mahama expressed optimism that the upcoming meeting would help chart a path toward sustainable peace and stability in the affected regions.
