Andani Family Press conference postponed

A scheduled press conference by the Andani Family of Dagbon Traditional Area in Accra on Tuesday was postponed at the eleventh hour to enable the family to meet President John Agyekum Kufuor at the Castle, Osu.

The Press Conference was for the family members to brief journalists on developments in the Yendi Traditional Area after the recent fighting in which the Ya-Na was killed.


Dr Gomda Yahuza, a nephew of the Late Chief of Dagbon, Ya Na Yakubu Andani told Journalists that President Kufuor had requested for an emergency meeting with the family members hence the postponement. The briefing has been rescheduled for April 3, at the same venue.

He said, "as a respect to the Office of the President we have the unpleasant duty to call this conference off at the eleventh hour." He, however, gave the assurance that the outcome of the meeting with the President would not affect the content of the Press Conference on Thursday.
