In pursuance of that, the married mother of two has taken over the DA Foundation, a philanthropic organisation which was set up by her husband to help more people in need.
Known in private life as Angela Atachie, the queen also supports organisations such as the Lions Club in their activities to serve humanity.

TM: How do you combine all these roles?
Mama Bobi: Hmmm. Prior to becoming queen, my focus was on my job and my family. But I have since adjusted and organised myself and my time for the various roles.
TM: Do you still have enough time for your family?
Mama Bobi: I have a very supportive, loving and understanding husband who shares all the ‘burdens’ at home with me and makes things much lighter for me.
TM: You became very active immediately you were made a queen without taking any rest after your enstoolment. How are you coping?
Mama Bobi: I believe the role of a leader is to impact the lives of others positively, and in my case, I am highly concerned about education and communal activities, particularly for women and girls, to enhance their quality of life. The foundation I took up from my husband made it easier for me to hit the ground running.
