He said: “Successive governments have played their roles but his excellency President Akufo-Addo and his government deserve special praise.

“Dagbon people are one, all perceived differences are political constructions. To our Dagbon brothers and sisters, I have a humble request, please remember that Dagbon cannot achieve much unless you stay united.

“We have a common desire for development. Let us join hands in pursuit of that objective so that we will leave a legacy of peace, unity and development for our children and grandchildren.”

A grand durbar is taking place in Yendi today to outdoor the new Overlord.

President Akufo Addo, traditional rulers, religious groups, civil society organizations, representatives of political and social groups are in attendance.

This follows the successful completion of the traditional processes after the Ya-Naa’s selection on Friday, January 18, 2019 by the kingmakers.

Yo-Naa Abubakari Mahama ll then the Savelugu Naa was among four persons whose names came up as possible successors of the late Ya-Naa whose funerals have all be performed.

His nomination is in line with the customs and traditions in respect of succession to the Kingship of Dagbon.
