The Mion skin is one of the three paramount gates enshrined in the Dagbon tradition for only the sons of Ya Nas and leads to the Yani Nam (Overlord).
As contained in the Dagbon peace pact outlined by the Otumfuo-chaired Committee of Eminent Chiefs last year, the coronation of Yo Na Abdulai Yakubu and Mion Lana Mahamadu Abdulai forms part of the processes to strengthen the unity and cohesion in the area between the Abudu and Andani royal families.
