The Abudu Gate has accused the Andani Gate in the Yendi conflict of efforts to undermine the government through the destabilisation of the Dagbon state.
Mr Amadu Kaleem, spokesman for the gate told newsmen in Accra that in pursuit of the scheme, the Andani Gate this week planned to attack the Abudus living in Tamale, to further aggravate the confusion and heighten tension in Dagbon and create a state of insecurity in the country.
He said the political agenda of the Andanis was recently exposed by Dr Yahuza Gomda, spokesman of the Andani Gate, on an Accra FM station, where he was alleged to have stated that they the Andanis were praying to a superior being for the removal of the Kufuor Administration just like was done to the Busia Government in 1972.
The Abudu spokesman also noted that the recent call for the resignation of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice and Mr Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, Minister of Information and Presidential Affairs were part of the clandestine scheme to destabilise the government.
Mr Kaleem alleged further that the boycott of the Wuaku Commission at the eleventh hour by the Andanis, clearly exposed their hidden agenda and subversive machination.
He questioned the rational for the boycott by the Andanis after they had insisted on the establishment of a commission of enquiry in the heat of events, alleging that they had facts about the involvement of certain respectable members of the government and the Abudu gate.
?However they failed to establish the facts before the commission as they had promised the nation?, Mr Kaleem said.
The Abudu Gate of Yendi also challenged the legitimacy of the late Ya Na Yakubu Andani II, as the king of Dagbon State and stated their claim to the throne.
"The Mion-Lana Andani, who later become the King of Dagbon, under the title Andani III father of Yakubu Andani II was not properly en-skinned and recognised as the legitimate King of the land, how could his son claim title to the throne", Mr Amadu Kaleem said.
He said in spite of the illegal occupancy of the Dagbon throne by the Andanis, ?we accommodated the situation till Yakubu Andani's death now?.
"As far as the Abudu Gate is concerned, the Andani Gate has had its turn at the slot for the Ya Na, and the next chance should go to an Abudu.
On that, there is no compromise, since to do so will be to sacrifice fair play, equity and justice."
Mr Kaleem urged the government to intensify efforts at finding the killers of the late Yakubu Andani II, as well as those who instigated the conflict.
He said the Abudu Gate distances itself from the gruesome murder, adding that, "we of the Abudu Gate have never plotted to kill anybody and we shall not stand in the way of the law taking its course if anybody is found to be involved."
Recently, the Andani Gate also laid claim to the throne, alleging that the assassinated King Yakubu Andani II did not serve his full term.
They enumerated a ten point measure to rectify the conflict, which included; the rehabilitation of the palace and other customary houses, which were destroyed by the criminals, restoration of family houses and that the government should appease the Dagbon State for desecrating it in announcing the death of the Ya Na without due process of traditional protocol.
