Buipewura Abdulai Jinapor II, the Paramount Chief of the Buipe Traditional Area of Gonja in the Savannah region has appealed to Ghanaian youth to see his Members of Parliament (MPs) sons as a sign to unite them rather than divisions in the arena of politics.

The Paramount chief in an interview with the media at his palace in Buipe on Friday 16th January 2021 said his two sons Honorable John Abdulai Jinapor, Member of Parliament for Yapei-Kusawgu and Honorable Samuel Abu Jinapor, also a Member of Parliament for Damongo constituencies respectively are closer than any of their siblings.

Buipewura indicated that his sons' brotherhood has never come to any disagreement that warrants a fatherly intervention because they patch their difference themselves and move on.

The Buipewura stated that his two sons despite their political difference are the best of friends and should be emulated by the Youth of Ghana adding; “politics should be geared towards development not creation of enmity”.

Chief Jinapor said he and Gonjaland are glad because two biological brothers are in Parliament on two major political parties and this means Ghana can move forward in political diversity.

“To be indifferent parties does not make you enemies because no party will come and say I want to destroy the country…any party that comes wants to develop the country”; the Buipewura said.

The Buipe Paramount Chief said the Youth of Ghana should avoid unnecessary rivalry and hatred in politics since politics is geared towards development and that his two sons have shown the way for Ghanaian youth to emulate.

Buipewura Jinapor (II) said unity within families is important and indicated that he is never surprised that his two sons (same parents) have set a record by going to Parliament at the same time but representing the two major political parties.

The Buipewura said he was a right-hand man of Dr Abrefa Busia of the Progress Party in 1969 before joining the Ghana Police Service.

“In 1969 I was an active member of the Progress Party and I was Busia’s darling boy. So I will say these boys develop their interest in politics by inheritance”; he said.
