Correspondence from Northern Region The King and Overlord of Dagbon, Ndan Ya Naa Abukari II on Sunday, February 16, 2025, visited the King of Gonjaland, Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuto Jewu Soale I at the Jakpa Palace in Damongo, the capital of the Savannah Region.
The historic royal visit of the Dagbon ruler was part of efforts towards solidifying the relationship between Dagbon and Gonjaland who have for centuries lived as neighbours.
This is the first time in recent history that a reigning Dagbon King has paid an official visit to the seat of the Gonja ruler and the visit follows an earlier royal visit by the Yagbonwura to the Gbewaa Palace last June.
Ndan Ya Naa was accompanied by his royal household, over 100 Paramount, Divisional and sub-divisional Chiefs including Naa Bakpem Kari Naa, Naa Yab Nyankpalana, Naa Yab Lang Lana among other prominent chiefs and over 100 warriors with hundreds of celebrants from Dagbon.
