It follows the performance of the 7th Day Adua of Yagbonwura Professor Tuntumba Boressa Sulemana Jakpa I which paved the way for a successor to be chosen.

The selected candidate has since gone through the traditional rites as stipulated by the customs and traditions of the people of Gonjaland and would be enskinned and outdoored today March 21, 2023

Following his selection a fortnight ago, Vice President Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia stated that the Gonja chieftaincy succession model is an efficient one that is worthy of emulation.
