SUIT AGAINST ME IS DIVISIVE...Says MP for Bawku Central (D/G Tuesday February 17,2009. PAGE 16)

The Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mr Adamu Daramani, has described the recent suit filed against him at the High Court in Accra by a Bawku-based cattle dealer for allegedly holding a British passport as more divisive than reconciliatory.
He said “Given our recent history, the fallout from the court proceedings might not be too good for our people.”
He, however, expressed confidence that he would emerge victorious after the case had been dealt with by the courts.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in an interview he appealed to the people of Bawku to unite and rally behind him in the effort to transform the Bawku Municipality and put the local economy on sound footing.
Speaking after his first interaction with his constituents since he was sworn in as MP on January 7, 2009, Mr Daramani said politics was about development and therefore asked the people to bury their differences and gear their efforts towards the development of the constituency.
His arrival in Bawku was characterised by a carnival amidst tooting of horns and mass jubilation by his supporters some of whom displayed motorbike riding skills through the main streets of Bawku.
He extended his gratitude to the party agents, supporters and others in the constituency for ensuring his victory in the recent elections.
He thanked them for electing him and promised that he would respond to the needs of the people in the constituency to ensure the accelerated development of the constituency.
He disclosed that he had taken delivery of 100 pieces of street lights and that they would be handed over to the municipal assembly.
He expressed the hope that the lights when installed would contribute to enhancing the security of the area.
Mr Daramani appealed to the youth in particular to refrain from any act that could disturb the peace of the area and urged them to have confidence in the security services.
