North Gonja, Ghana – Elders of the Tampulima people in the North Gonja District of the Northern Region of Ghana have said that their attention has been drawn to a meeting held in Mankarigu on November 3, 2018 by a group of people purported to be some Concerned Youth of Tampulmas, whose aim is to destabilise activities towards the creation of the proposed Savannah Region.

A statement signed by the Regent of Kanbonkora (Chief of Lingbinsi), the Kpariya-tina (Chief of Kpariya), Yabgon-tina (Chief of Yagbon) and the Tamplum- tina (Chief of Gbasimpa), said “the general public is hereby informed that any individual or group of people who act contrary to the creation of the region should be made to face the full rigours of the law”.

They said “there had never been any decision taken by Tampulmas anywhere to jeopardise the creation of this region which the people yearn for.

“The elders and the youth of the Tampulma people wish to entreat the general public to ignore and treate with contempt any individual or group of persons who attempt to bring the process of the region into disrepute”.

They said they “wish to put on record that Tampumas are in full support and committed to the creation of Savannah Region; Tampumas have been part and parcel of the process leading to the creation of the Savannah Region” and “that Tampulmas will resist any attempt by few persons and individuals who may want to prevent law abiding citizens from exercising their constitutional duty before, during and after the referendum leading to the creation of Savannah Region”.

They said “the security agencies should be prepared to deal with those individuals who may want to forment troubles before, during and after the activities of the region’s creation” and stated emphatically that “the new Savannah Region when created will come with more development opportunities for the teeming youth in the area hence their unflinching support for the Savanna Region”.
