President Mahama pays tribute to late Agogomanhene Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong

Share on Twitter President John Dramani Mahama has paid tribute to the late Paramount Chief of Agogo, Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong, describing him as a distinguished traditional ruler whose contributions to Ghana’s governance, politics and traditional leadership spanned several decades.

The President said the late Agogomanhene played a significant role in shaping Ghana’s political and governance landscape, particularly during the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) era and the formation of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He made the remarks when a delegation from the Agogo Traditional Council, led by the Agogomanhemaa, Nana Juaben Afrakoma Serwaa Kusi Oboadum, paid a courtesy call on him at the Presidency to formally invite him to the three-day funeral rites of the late Omanhene.

The funeral, known as Doti Yie, is scheduled to take place from November 24 to 26, 2026, at Agogo in the Ashanti Region.

President Mahama recalled the late chief’s distinguished public service, noting that he served as Secretary for Health, Secretary for Internal Affairs and Secretary for Chieftaincy Affairs under the PNDC government.

He also served as a member of the Council of State during the Fourth Republic under the late President John Evans Atta Mills.

The President further acknowledged his role in the formation of the NDC, describing their relationship as one that went beyond politics.

“We and Nana are a family. This is because he played a key role during the PNDC era into the NDC. The funeral is not only for you, but for us all. If someone serves his nation well, he deserves to be honoured,” he said.

President Mahama assured the delegation of government’s support towards giving the late traditional ruler a befitting funeral.

For her part, Agogomanhemaa Nana Juaben Afrakoma Serwaa Kusi Oboadum expressed gratitude to the President for delegating Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang to represent him at the one-week observation of the late Omanhene’s passing.

She also thanked the government for the ongoing construction of roads in Agogo and appealed for the project to be expedited to ensure its completion before the burial of the late chief.

The meeting was attended by the Chief of Staff at the Presidency, Dr Julius Debrah, and the Special Aide to the President and Presidential Adviser, Mrs Joyce Bawa Mogtari.
