Several dignitaries from government, opposition parties, and traditional authorities are also expected to attend, highlighting the deep respect Alhaji Aliu Mahama commanded across the political divide.
The Adua, an important Islamic rite performed in remembrance of the departed, will honour Alhaji Aliu Mahama’s contributions to Ghana’s development and his lifelong commitment to discipline and nation-building.
