The children in Bawku aim to attend the same universities as those in Accra,\u201d he pointed out, emphasizing the importance of providing equal opportunities in a peaceful environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Opoku ended his statement with a heartfelt appeal to the youth: \u201cI urge the young people of Bawku to embrace peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He emphasized that only peace will allow the town to experience development, better education, and full national inclusion, calling on traditional leaders and community elders to help end the cycle of violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"468\" height=\"424\" data-id=\"4948\" src=\"https:\/\/storylinegh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Bawku.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storylinegh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Bawku.jpg 468w, https:\/\/storylinegh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Bawku-300x272.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Member of Parliament for Mpraeso, Davis Ansah Opoku, has urged the youth of Bawku to focus on peace following the recent resurgence of violence<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":123462,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[104],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","two-columns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
