“You are a son of Gonjaland and you have my blessings to be President,” the Yagbonwura proclaimed. He added, “I as the overlord of Gonjaland accept you as a son of this land; you are my son and from today, consider yourself as a son of Gonjaland. You are a Gonja. You served me even when I was at Tuluwe and you continue to serve me to date. I assure you of my blessings and support as the overlord of Gonja.”
Dr. Bawumia’s tour of the Savannah Region also included meetings with key stakeholders, including the clergy, where he outlined his vision for the region and the country.
