The group behind the Otumfuo Commemorative Gold Coin project is asking politicians to stay out of the Bawku conflict and let the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, step in to help solve it peacefully.

This group, which was set up to honor the Asantehene for his role in promoting peace and helping Ghana grow, says the wisdom he used to settle the Dagbon conflict—after more than 1,000 meetings and over 17 years—can be used to bring peace to Bawku too.

Otumfuo is known as a “Pillar of Peace,” and the group believes he can only succeed in bringing lasting peace if everyone involved cooperates with him.

They are calling on all the groups fighting in Bawku to stop the violence and give their full support to the Asantehene’s peace efforts.
