Gushegu-Naa

Dagbani · Dagomba (Dagbon), Northern Region (Gushegu) · Royal title

Chief of Gushegu and one of the Ya-Na's senior elders. Owusu-Mensah (2022) lists him among the customary kingmakers; Chernoff's narrator describes Gushegu as an elders' chieftaincy rather than one held by princes.

The Gushegu-Naa is one of the elders who help select a new Ya-Na.
