“It was always an honor to pay him homage at the ancient Gbewaa Palace and to draw from his immeasurable wisdom and guidance,” he said, adding that the Ya-Na’s death was “a great loss to me, to the Dagbon Kingdom, and to Ghana as a whole.”“Ndan Ya-Na Abukari II emerged as the King of Dagbon during one of the most challenging periods in Dagbon history, and with ancestral wisdom and patience, he guided the ancient Kingdom towards peace, unity and prosperity,” he stated.

Dr Bawumia said the late Ya-Na ascended the Dagbon skin during one of the most difficult periods in the kingdom’s history and successfully guided the traditional area towards peace, unity and development.
