Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, on Friday morning visited the Mamponghene’s Palace in Asante Mampong to commiserate with the chiefs and people of the area following the passing of Daasebre Nana Osei Bonsu II, the Mamponghene.
The passing of the respected Paramount Chief, who occupied the Silver Stool and was second in command in the Asanteman hierarchy, was confirmed earlier in the week.
Dr Bawumia, who shared a fatherly relationship with the Mamponghene, swiftly expressed his shock on his social media page upon hearing the news of Daasebre’s death.
On Friday morning, he cut short the NPP’s thank-you tour, which he is leading with executives of the party, to officially commiserate with Nana Agyakoma Difie II, Queenmother of Mampong, as well as the chiefs and people of Mampong, on the unfortunate passing of the late Paramount Chief.
The chiefs and queen mothers expressed appreciation for Dr Bawumia’s gesture, reiterating the cordial relationship he had with Daasebre.
The former Vice President also signed the book of condolence, which has been opened at the palace in honour of the late Paramount Chief.
Dr Bawumia expressed gratitude to Nana for taking him and his wife, Samira, as her children and offering them “wise counsel”.
The former Vice President, who was accompanied by some officials of the NPP on the thank-you tour, also visited the wife of the late Mamponghene.
