In a historic development generating massive excitement across the Northern Region, the Overlord of Gonjaland, His Royal Majesty Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuto Jewusoale I, is set to visit the Chief of the Dagbon Kingdom, Ya Na Mahama Abukari II, at his palace in Yendi today, Sunday, June 23, 2024.
This unprecedented visit marks the first time in history that an Overlord from either the Dagbon or Gonja kingdoms has visited the other.
Despite the Dagombas and Gonjas being neighbors for centuries, no king from either side has ever undertaken such a visit.
The Yagbonwura’s visit to the Ya Na’s palace is not only a symbol of mutual respect and cooperation but also an opportunity to foster unity and collaboration between the two kingdoms.
The people of the Northern Region are particularly enthusiastic about the visit, seeing it as a hopeful sign of continued peace and harmony.
Following his visit to the Dagbon Kingdom, the Yagbonwura will also make a historic visit to the Mamprugu Kingdom, where he is scheduled to meet Nayiri Na Mahami Bohigu Sheriga.
These visits are expected to open new chapters of collaboration and unity among the traditional leaders of the Northern Region, setting a positive precedent for future interactions.
