Wa Chiefs Apologize To Bawumia After Late Imam’s Family Rejected His 20k Funeral Donation

The Wa Traditional Council, led by the Overlord of the Wala Traditional Area, Naa Fuseini Pelpuo IV, in tandem with the Islamic leaders of the Area have offered a profound apology to the Vice President after his generous funeral donation of 20K to the family of the late Imam of the Wa Central Mosque was rejected.

Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia came under a barrage of ridicule in the past week after it emerged that his funeral donation to the family of the late Islamic Cleric had been rejected by the family on the grounds that he had disrespected them by not showing up to commiserate with them while he was in the Region.

The decision by the family to reject the donation, which has been roundly condemned, seems to have embarassed both the traditional and religious authorities in Wa, who have condemned the decision and also apologised to the Vice President, on behalf of the family and the people of Wala.

A letter of apology to the Vice President signed by the Paramount Chief of the Wala Traditional Area, Fuseini Seidu Pelpuo IV, the Chief of the Muslim Community in Wa Yeri Naa Alhaji Sualihu Mumuni Sungumo and the Upper West Regional Imam Alhaji Osman Mahama Kanihi, described the rejection as “unfortunate” and “alien to the tradition and customs of the Wala people.”
