Tour Day 4

Describing the 4 day visit to the Region as a spectacular and an amazing one, Ursula took to her Facebook wall Saturday evening to share her experience:

“My 4 days working tour in the Upper East region saw me visiting the tomb of the late Madam Hawa Yakubu in Pusiga to pay my respect to the woman who many refered to as ‘Iron Lady’.

“A virtuous, hardworking and selfless woman she was. Indeed she was a role model and a source of motivation to many women in politics.

“Madam Hawa Yakubu is remembered for her agility and outspoken nature at the time women had no voice in the Ghanaian politics and leadership. May her soul continue to Rest in Peace”.
