Former President Nana Akufo-Addo has paid tribute to Ghanaian highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosu, affectionately known as Daddy Lumba, following news of the musician’s passing.
In a post shared on his official Facebook page, the former President described the late artiste as “a pantheon among musical greats of all-time”, acknowledging both the personal loss of a friend and the national loss of a cultural icon.
“With regret, I have received the sad news of the passing of my dear friend and renowned music icon, Charles Kwadwo Fosu,” the former President wrote.
He praised Daddy Lumba’s unique ability to forge a powerful connection with the Ghanaian people through music, describing him as a voice that resonated deeply with both fans and the country at large.
“Daddy Lumba… had a special connection with his fans and the entire nation.”
The former President also reflected on the role Daddy Lumba played in his own political journey, noting that the artiste’s hit songs became a vital part of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) campaign trail.
“His hit-making songs will remain lasting contributions to my presidential journey and will forever be etched in the annals of political campaign of the New Patriotic Party.”
He added “He will be sorely missed. May he peacefully rest in the Bosom of the Almighty until the Last Day of the Resurrection, when we shall all meet again.”
