Former NPP General Secretary and presidential candidate Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has described his late mother, Comfort "Adwoa Badu" Agyepong, as a pillar of strength who overcame tragedy to raise nine children through determination and faith.
In an interview with GhanaWeb following her funeral on April 24, 2025, Agyepong reflected on his mother's extraordinary resilience after the 1982 murder of his father, Justice Kwadwo Agyei Agyepong, one of three Supreme Court judges abducted and killed during Ghana's revolutionary era. "She went through a lot.
She needed to be strong to cater for us; from selling Obroni Wawu in the streets, she was determined to ensure we turned out the way her husband would have wished.
I'm very proud that all of us were able to go through university and build good careers. "I think her life is a testimony to resilience in the face of tragedy, you don't allow it to define you; you find a way to live on.
