The Flagbearer of the Convention Peoples Party has resurrected the death of Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II by accusing the NDC of failing to find the killers of late overlord of Dagbon.

The NDC in 2008 promised to find and prosecute the killers of late Chief of Dagbon.

Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, who is touring the Nothern Region, told a rally at Tamale Aboabo Market that there is too 'much injustice here,' referring to the death of the Yaa Naa.

"One of the injustices that they have been complaining of is the fact that a good fourteen years after the death of the Yaa-Naa, apart from the fact that the criminals have not been brought to book and the man has never been buried properly, they feel that the NDC is purposely delaying in bringing justice to them,” he said.

He noted that, "the people of Dagbon feel that the NDC has taken them as slaves and that they are not asleep.”

“What we have heard is that, they are going to resist that change and that they are going to protest against that kind of treatment and wait for justice to be delivered to them,” he added.

Turning his attention to the controversy surrounding the voters' register, Greenstreet reiterated his party's position for a clean register ahead of this year's polls.

He accused the NDC and NPP for failing to institute a national identification system to identify Ghanaians and those who are of age to vote.

“We want a voters’ register not just for us to get elected but for Ghanaians to know that we have held a clean, free, fair, credible and transparent election so that there will be peace in this nation, he said

"What the NPP and the NDC have failed to do and we are ready to do is to institute a national identification system so that we will know where all our people are, they are properly registered so that we know what their problems are,”  he added
