The Member of Parliament for the Damongo Constituency and Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel A. Jinapor, has emphatically stated that the King and Overlord 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 declared, “The Yagbonwura is traditionally my grandfather and overlord, and I will never do anything to undermine him.”
He emphasized his deep respect for the Chieftaincy institution, assuring that he will always hold all chiefs in high reverence, particularly his overlord.
The Damongo legislator explained that many of the issues that have arisen are due to miscommunication and unfortunate misunderstandings.
He insisted, “I will take all measures necessary to restore normalcy between myself and the Jakpa Palace, which is my natural home.”
Mr Jinapor concluded the interview by calling for calm, peace, and unity within the Gonja Kingdom and Damongo in particular, while focusing on development efforts.
