An Open Appeal to His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana: A Call for Representation for the Nanung Kingdom

The Nanung Peace Initiative (NPI), under the leadership of its Executive Director, Mr. Alhassan Somed Dasana, extends heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana, on your return to the highest office of our beloved nation. Your unwavering commitment to fostering unity, equity, and inclusive governance continues to inspire hope and optimism among all Ghanaians.

If you recall, during your royal visit to the Nanung Kingdom as part of your campaign tour, our distinguished leader, the Regent and Acting President of the Nanumba Traditional Council, His Royal Majesty Nyelinbolgu Naa Andani Dasana Yakubu Abdulai, made a heartfelt and passionate appeal to your esteemed leadership. In his speech, His Royal Majesty emphasized the unique challenges faced by the Nanung Kingdom and the pressing need for representation and support to address these critical issues. His appeal reflected the trust, loyalty, and high expectations the people of Nanung place in your leadership and vision for an inclusive Ghana.

As you embark on this noble journey of leading Ghana toward greater progress and unity, we humbly appeal for your kind consideration of the Nanung Kingdom in your ongoing appointments. The Nanung Kingdom, an integral part of the Northern Region, holds immense potential to contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s national development agenda. However, persistent challenges in areas such as peacebuilding, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and youth development have hindered its progress for decades.

Addressing these challenges requires deliberate attention and strategic actions. Appointing a competent son or daughter of Nanung to a prominent position in your administration would symbolize your government’s commitment to fairness and inclusive governance. Such representation would also bring renewed energy, hope, and empowerment to the kingdom. It would enable Nanung to actively participate in decision-making processes and provide an opportunity to collaboratively resolve critical issues affecting the region.

The people of Nanung are known for their resilience, patriotism, and dedication to national progress. Over the years, they have shown unwavering support to leadership that values equity and inclusivity. Your intervention in granting this representation would not only fulfill their aspirations but also foster greater harmony and national cohesion.

We trust in your ability to recognize the importance of equitable representation in governance and the vital role the Nanung Kingdom can play in advancing Ghana’s development. NPI remains steadfast in its commitment to work hand in hand with your administration to promote peace, unity, and sustainable growth in Nanung and beyond.

May the Almighty bless you abundantly with wisdom, good health, and strength as you lead Ghana into a new era of unity, inclusivity, and prosperity.

Signed:
Mr. Alhassan Somed Dasana
