President Akufo-Addo has paid tribute to Ghanaian highlife legend Nana Kwame Ampadu who passed away on September 28, 2021.

The President has thanked him for the role he played in ensuring his electoral success in 2016.

President Akufo-Addo in his public tribute eulogized the life and musical legacy of Nana Kwame Ampadu describing him as a musical icon whose music resonated widely and closely with all music-loving fans.

However, President Akufo-Addo added that he will surely miss him for all the reasons but especially for helping in his political journey especially before, during and after the 2016 elections.

“Nana Ampadu believed in my vision for the transformation of Ghana, and assisted me tremendously on the campaign trail in the run-up to my victory in the elections of 2016,” he said.

The president shared this post on Facebook exactly a day after the sad news of the passing of Nana Kwame Ampadu was announced leaving a  sour taste in the mouth of all who knew and loved his music.

I have learnt, with great sadness, of the death of one of Ghana’s musical icons, the legendary high-life artiste, Nana Ampadu. The outpouring of grief by many Ghanaians, following the news of his death, is an appreciation of the impact his music had on successive generations of Ghanaians. Nana Ampadu believed in my vision for the transformation of Ghana, and assisted me tremendously on the campaign trail in the run-up to my victory in the elections of 2016, for which I remain eternally grateful. His was a life well-lived, and he will be sorely missed. My deep condolences to his widow, children and family. Rest in perfect peace, Nana, and may the Almighty keep you in His Bosom until the Last Day of the Resurrection when we shall all meet again. Amen.

Nana Ampadu, da yie, Nyame nfa wo kra nsie.
