The historic outdooring of the new Ya Naa, Abukari Mahama II, as the overlord of the Dagbon traditional area is happening now at the Jubilee Park in Yendi.
The people of Dagbon after 17 years of protracted chieftaincy disputes are heaving a sigh of relief as Abukari Mahama II is crowned the new king.
The ceremony starts with a coronation process where there would be a recital of the Holy Quran at the forecourt of the Gbewaa Palace before it’s moved to Jubilee Park.

Ya Naa Abubakari Mahama was selected by Dagbon Kingmakers last Friday, January 18, 2019, in Yendi after the burial of both Ya Naa Mahamadu Abdulai and Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani II.
The event is expected to be graced by chiefs from across the country, led by President of the National House of Chiefs Togbe Afede XIV, as well as government functionaries led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
