Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, pleaded with President John Dramani Mahama to construct a market in either one or both of the Bono regional capitals.
Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II said, just as has been done in other regional capitals and some major towns in the country, the two Bono regions deserve markets too.

In a video on X, the Dormaahene suggested that if President John Mahama grants their request, then he should name the market after the First Lady, Lordina Mahama.
“I want you to put up one or two markets in the main towns of the Bono Region, just as you have done in other places. The markets you have built in Cape Coast, Kumasi and in other regional capitals should be replicated in our region. It could be in Sunyani, Techiman or both.”
“After putting it up, name the market after my sister, Mrs Lordina Mahama. So that when you are no longer president or have even joined the ancestors, everyone will know that when our in-law and friend became President, he put up the market for us,” he added.
The Dormaahene indicated that they have not yet discussed the suggestion with the First Lady. He added that this was a discussion held by only the chiefs.

“We have not discussed this with your wife yet. This was only discussed by the chiefs, and we decided to let you know when we meet you.”
Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II made this demand, among others, when President John Mahama arrived at the Bono Region to meet the chiefs and people as part of his nationwide ‘thank you’ tour.

“What impact has Lordina Mahama done to deserve this recognition? And why are we always naming our institutions after politicians? Are there not any notable people in the past whom we can't name after them?”
