Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is Ghana’s former president
A video of former President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has surfaced on the internet where he was captured shedding tears following the demise of Ghana’s Highlife legend, Daddy Lumba.
On August 1, 2025, Akufo-Addo, accompanied by some key players in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), paid a visit to the family of the late Lumba.
In the video making waves on social media, Akufo-Addo, dressed in an all black suit, was seen sitting in a sober mood.
The former president, a great fan of the late musician, was seen teared up, as a linguist informed the late Lumba’s family, the reason why Akufo-Addo was present in their home.
In the video, the linguist who spoke on behalf of the former president shared how Lumba played a pivotal role in Akufo-Addo’s victory in the December 2016 election.
The late Daddy Lumba, in the 2016 election, released a campaign song titled “Nana Winner” for the NPP.
The track, which became a monster hit, played a role in Akufo-Addo’s victory and also served as one of the party’s much-anticipated campaign.
