From there he will go to Kuga Naa palace to do same and then proceed to Zohe Naa palace to bid him farewell.
From Zohe Naa palace he will head to Tamale and proceed to Kanshegu where he will spend three days before finally moving to Savelugu as the new chief.
This event forms part of the customs of Dagbon where after the funeral of a Yaa Naa, the Regent is given one of the skin gates such as Yoo or Mion.
The Regent does not go without a title, hence this enskinment.
The enskinment of Mahamadu Abdulai as Mion Lana is also expected to come off on the 14th of March 2019.
The two were offered the two kolas on Sunday by Yaa Naa Abubakari.
The Kampakoya Naa Abdulai Yakubu Andani and Bolin Lana Mahamadu Abdulai were among the four persons contesting to be named Yaa Naa.
