God ordained Mahama as President - Navrongo chiefs

The traditional chiefs of Navrongo at the durbar

The chiefs and elders of the Navrongo Traditional Area in the Upper East region have asserted that the rise of President John Dramani Mahama to the highest office of Ghana was “an act of God”.

The sudden death in office of Professor John Evans Atta Mills, the 4th year anniversary of whose departure was marked early this week with a renewal of wreaths at his tomb and a recall of his legacies at a public symposium, paved way on a grieving night of Tuesday July 24 in 2012 for Mahama to become the fourth President of the Fourth Republic.

For the Navrongo Traditional Area, there is no better word to describe Mahama’s “unexpected” upswing to the presidency than what they say is a “gift” from God. The chiefs emphasised this at a durbar graced by the First Lady, Lordina Mahama, when she toured the region Wednesday.

Mrs Mahama was in the region to donate medical supplies and equipment to the Navrongo War Memorial Hospital in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality and the Upper East Regional Hospital in Bolgatanga, the regional capital.
