The Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, has appealed President John Dramani Mahama to construct a modern market in one of the cities in the Bono region, similar in scale and vibrancy to the renowned markets in Kumasi and Cape Coast.
He proposed that the market be named after the First Lady, Lordina Mahama, pointing out the gesture as a potential historic contribution by President Mahama as an in-law to the region.
Speaking during the National Democratic Congress (NDC)'s "Thank You Tour" in Sunyani on May 30, 2025, Osagyefo Agyeman Badu II said: "One of our capitals is Sunyani, and the other is Techiman.
If you wouldn't consider it too much, I would be grateful if you could build a market, like those in Kumasi and Cape Coast, in either of these cities.
