Barely a week after Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia was honoured with a chieftaincy title by the Overlord of the Gonja Traditional Area, Bi-Kunuto Jewu Soale I, Chief of the Wangara Community in Ghana, Masaba Fanyinama III has conferred a similar title on him.
Dr. Bawumia was enskinned with the stool name “Benkelemasa,” which means one who unites indicating that this will inspire him to continue to be a leader for all regardless of ethnic, religious and political differences of the people.
The Vice President at the weekend joined Chief of the Wangara Community in Ghana, Masaba Fanyinama III, Wangara Chiefs from across the country and members of the Wangara fraternity from all walks of life, in Kintampo, for the 25th Annual Benkade Kurubi Festival.
He commended the Wangara Community for upholding the festival, which brings them together annually and also, urged them and other groups and communities, to stay united and not allow their harmonious relationships with others, to be derailed by people with parochial, political interests.
It would be recalled that the Yagbonwura Bi-Kunuto Jewu Soale I, last week bestowed the title of Konukolewura, meaning Chief of Unity, upon Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The honour was in recognition of Dr. Bawumia’s tolerance and unity, as the Overlord stated during a vibrant ceremony in Damongo. The event, held in appreciation of Dr. Bawumia’s visit to express gratitude for Yagbonwura’s support and prayers following his election as the Flagbearer of the NPP, showcased the unity-driven mindset of the Vice President.
The Overlord of Gonjaland, in explaining the rationale behind the chieftaincy title, emphasized that Dr. Bawumia’s role as a unifier for all in the country deserved recognition. The title Konukolewura is not only a testament to the Vice President’s remarkable traits but also serves as an encouragement.
