The Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin has been enskinned as Tinmaale Naa by the Takpo Traditional Council in the Upper West Region.

The title ‘Tinmaale Naa’ which means Development Chief was conferred on the speaker by the traditional rulers in the region.

The prestigious honour was bestowed on Alban Bagbin due to the countless developmental projects he has brought to the Traditional Area and beyond.

He was given the skin name, Naa Sunniyong Maalu Sungmaale Naa Bagbin.

The Speaker in responding to the honour bestowed on him in a Facebook post said, “I accepted the honour to be enskinned as the ‘Tinmaale Naa’ of the Takpo Traditional Council in the Nadowli-Kaleo Constituency of the Upper West Region”.

“This enviable honour according to the Paramount Chief of the Takpo Traditional Area, Naa Widaana Nanga II, is in recognition of my services and support during my tenure as a Member of Parliament, Minister, Deputy Speaker and Speaker of Parliament of the Republic of Ghana”.

“Under the skin name Sunniyong Maalu Sungmaali Naa Bagbin I. I was outdoored at a modest, but colourful and well-patronised ceremony at the forecourt of the Takpo Traditional Council at Takpo.
In my acceptance speech, I expressed my elation at the honour done to me and also thanked the Almighty God/Allah and the Chiefs and people of the Takpo Traditional Council for their faith in me throughout my political journey”.

“I assured the people of my unwavering support, intervention and partnership in order to bring the needed development to the area. To this end, I donated my widow’s mite to the Traditional Council in support of their development agenda”.

“In my new capacity as Tinmaale Naa, I called on the people to unite, close their ranks and forge a common front in order to beat the poverty and underdevelopment which is the common enemy instead of fighting one another over politics and other inconsequential issues”.

“Supporting me during the enskinment rites, were Members of Parliament, the District Chief Executive for the Nadowli-Kaleo, Paramount and Divisional Chiefs from across the Upper West Region, Staff of Parliament, Executives and Leaders of Political Parties, Women and Youth Groups, and Students among others”, he concluded.
