NPP stalwart Sammi Awuku has shared a heartfelt tribute to late highlife legend Daddy Lumba, following the singer's death on Saturday, July 26, 2025.
In a deeply emotional post, Awuku reflected on how Daddy Lumba's song "Ankwanoma" had become a personal source of strength and reflection over the years. "I never imagined the day would come when the very song that gave me strength would echo with finality," the former Director-General of the National Lottery Authority, wrote.
Describing Ankwanoma as his favourite Lumba song, Awuku explained that it had taught him about the brevity of life and the quiet, inevitable nature of death: "A song that taught me that life is simply borrowed time, that we do what we can, and when our moment comes, we simply exit without saying goodbye.Today, that truth has unfolded in the life of the one who sang it so beautifully." He went on to honour Daddy Lumba's legacy, praising the late singer for his ability to express life's deepest truths through music. "Daddy Lumba sang what many of us didn't have the words to say.He wrapped life's deepest truths in melody, and now, just as he sang, his time came, and he's gone.Life, indeed, is fleeting." Awuku concluded by acknowledging the highlife legend's enduring impact: "But some souls live on through the songs they leave behind, and DL will always be that legend.Rest In Peace, DL.
You impacted through songs."
