Bawumia installed youth chief of Sakumono traditional area [Photos]

The Chief, Elders and youth of Sakumono, on Saturday, installed New Patriotic Party Presidential running mate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, as Youth Chief of the Sakumono Traditional Area when he paid a courtesy call on the Chief of Sakumono and his Elders at his Palace.

This formed part of a two day tour of the three Tema constituencies.

The NPP Vice-Presidential candidate was also honoured with a carved wooden object to signify his intelligence and truthfulness.

The youth in honouring Dr. Bawumia explained that despite numerous attacks on his person, he has been proven right on all the issues he raises and pointed to his intelligence and competence, noting that he is a great role model for the youth of Ghana.

“The youth of Sakumono in unison have also decided that since their Chief and Elders have installed Dr. Bawumia as Youth Chief, then the youth also have a gift for him. This carving is called 'the wise man'. They chose this 'wise man' because even though Dr. Bawumia always gets insulted for his analysis and comments, he is always proven right. Anytime he comes out, he is right and that is why the Youth have chosen 'the wise man' carving as his gift,” they said.

Dr. Bawumia expressed gratitude for the gesture from the elders and youth of Sakumono.

“I was honored to have been enstooled as the Youth Chief of Sakumono yesterday by the Sakumono Mantse, Nene Amediku Sogbodjor and the Sakumono Traditional Council and my stool name is Nene Amediku Sogbodjor II. I thank Nene Sogbodjor, his elders and the youth of Sakumono for this great honor,” he said on his Facebook page.
