Late Mion-Lana was a good man; co-operate to find a worthy successor to him – Akufo-Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has eulogized the late Mion-Lana Abdulai Mahamudu.

Mr Akufo-Addo said he was a young man who had a good heart and was a lover of his people.

“On Thursday, 18th August 2022, the Overlord of Dagbon, Ya-Naa Abukari Mahama II, sent a delegation to Jubilee House, the seat of our nation’s presidency, to inform me of the death of Mion-Lana Abdulai Mahamadu, the Chief of Mion.

“Mion-Lana Abdulai Mahamadu was a young man, who had a good heart, and was a lover of his people. He was a respectful and obedient Chief to his Overlord, and who was determined to do his bit to advance the welfare of the people of Dagbon. It is my hope that, when the funeral rites are concluded, all will co-operate to find a worthy successor to him as Mion Lana. It will be one of the best ways we can pay tribute and honour to his memory.

“It is a sad day for Dagbon, and I express my deep, sincere condolences to the Yaa-Na, the family of the late Mion Lana, and the people of Dagbon. May the soul of Mion-Lana Abdulai Mahamadu rest in perfect peace,” President Akufo-Addo wrote on his Facebook page.

He was 48.

The late Mion-Lana died at the 37 military hospital on Wednesday August, 17 after a short illness.

His body was airlifted to Yendi where he was subsequently laid to rest.
