According to him, prior to the election, he told his two wives that they should be prepared for a possible defeat because his opponents were praying for him to lose. He said he specifically encouraged his second wife, Queen Mina, to remain strong because of his conviction that he was a man of substance. “I told all my wives that we could lose the election. I told my second wife, Queen Mina, that we could lose because we have so many enemies, and the enemies are praying hard for us to lose the election. “But Queen Mina, be strong because the man you have married is a man of substance, and I am a pure Dagomba man,” he said in an interview on Neat FM on October 5, 2026. Chairman Buga Buga further disclosed that he remained calm after receiving a message from Queen Mina following his defeat. He said the message helped to comfort him and assured that there was no tension between him and his two wives following the election. “After the election, Queen Mina sent me a message, and that calmed me down. So, myself, my first wife and my second wife have no problem.” Alhaji Masawudu Osman polled 890 votes in the contest, which was not enough to secure one of the three vice-chairmanship positions.
