The Member of Parliament for Damongo Constituency and Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel A. Jinapor, has stated categorically that the King of Gonjaland, Yagbonwura Soele Bi Kunoto, is his father and overlord.
In an interview in Damongo with Akili Gideon of Damongo based Spear FM, the Minister stated that “The Yagbonwura is traditionally my grandfather and overlord and I will never do anything to undermine him”.
He further stated that he has great respect for the chieftaincy institution and will always accord all chiefs high reverence, especially his overlord.
The Damongo legislator explained that most of what has happened is as a result of some miscommunication and unfortunate misunderstanding of some issues and he insisted that “I will take all measures necessary to restore normalcy between myself and the Jakpa Palace which is my natural home”.
The Lands Minister called for calm, peace and unity in the Gonja Kingdom and Damongo in particular while development is pursued.
It would be recalled that the Yagbonwura over the weekend banned Mr Jinapor from visiting any palace in Gonjaland.
