President Akufo-Addo hears news:

Even though government has yet to issue a statement on the death, Citi News and Asaase report that the president got the information shortly after it happened.

“President Nana Akufo-Addo has already visited the residence of former President Kufuor to extend his condolences,” the Citi FM report stated.

In the case of Asaase, they reported that “President Nana Akufo-Addo had travelled to the mountains to pay a visit to the former President and her passing is said to have happened shortly before the President arrived.”

Having tied the knot on September 8, 1962, the Kufuors barely three weeks back celebrated their 61st anniversary as a couple.

Mama Theresa as she is fondly referred to was also les than a month from celebrating her next birthday, which celebration is often on the low.

Having served as First Lady between January 2001 and January 2009, the former midwife resorted to a very low profile, rarely seen in public after her husband exited office.
