Yola— All is now set for the presentation of staff of office and coronation of a new Hama Bachama, Homun Honest Irmiya Stephen as the Adamawa State government has fixed December 7, 2013 for the ceremony.

The new monarch will replace the former Hama Bachama leader, Homun Asaph Zadok, who died over a year ago.

Towards this end, a 45-member committee has been constituted over the ceremony.

Inaugurating the committee at his palace weekend, the new Hama Bachama, urged members of the various sub committees to work extra hard to ensure the success of the coronation considering the limited time at their disposal.

He told the committee members to discharge their responsibilities keeping in mind that whatever sacrifice they make in the course of the success of the event would go a long way in portraying their love for their culture.

The traditional ruler told all sons and daughters of the Bachama kingdom to contribute to the success of the event regardless of their political leanings and other differences as he was ‘’a father to all’’ and would not discriminate against anyone.
