President Nana Akufo-Addo has been installed as Nkosohene (Development Chief) by Nana Yeboah Pene, the Queen-Mother of Chiraa in the Sunyani West District of the Bono Region.

According to the queen mother, this is in recognition of the president’s relentless fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in saving lives and other ongoing developmental projects.

She said his stool name is Okogyeman Odomankomahene Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo with all traditional rites performed on Wednesday, August 11, 2021.

 

 

 

 

Nana Pene was speaking to climax a durbar at Chiraa in honour of the President on the final day of his two-day working visit to the Bono Region.

She noted that the level of leadership demonstrated by the President amidst the pandemic confirms that he is a gift from God for Ghana and must be appreciated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We often do not appreciate the good works of people until they are no more. God has used the President in a way that has manifested in the well-being of the citizens and the peace enjoyed as a country,” she averred.
