Onua TV’s Maakye host, Captain Smart, has paid tribute to Ghana’s former President John Agyekum Kufuor in celebration of his birthday, hailing him as a great influence and national treasure.

During the morning show, Captain Smart celebrated Kufuor’s 86th birthday by acknowledging the profound impact the former leader has had on him. He said Kufuor had mentored him in many ways and remains someone he proudly looks up to. Smart recalled being personally guided by Kufuor during a private conversation, where the former president offered deep reflections on leadership and the complexities of life.

He prayed for God’s grace and strength to continue to be with Kufuor and encouraged former President John Mahama to take the opportunity to learn from Kufuor while he is still alive, noting that his wisdom is invaluable to current and future leaders.
